Mix the salt, flour, and baking powder in a bowl. Incorporate the shortening until the mixture resembles crumbs. Add the water and mix until the dough begins to form. If necessary, add more water (1 teaspoon at a time) until the dough forms. Cover with a clean, damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes. Divide the dough into 12 balls. Roll out the balls with a rolling pin on a lightly floured surface. Form tortillas about 18 cm in diameter. Cook on an ungreased griddle over high heat until some brown spots appear. Keep the tortillas covered and warm with a clean towel until serving.
