Ham and Cheese Sandwich

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir well until evenly mixed.

Mix Dry Ingredients

Add the lard (or vegetable shortening) to the flour mixture. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, work the fat into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Incorporate Lard

Gradually add the water to the flour mixture, mixing with your hands until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour as needed.

Add Water

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 2-3 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Knead the Dough

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap or cover with a clean towel. Let it rest for at least 15-30 minutes at room temperature to allow the gluten to relax.

Rest the Dough

Once the dough has rested, divide it into 3 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten it slightly with your hands. Use a rolling pin to roll each ball into a thin circle about 8-10 inches in diameter.

Divide and Roll Out

Preheat a cast-iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Ensure the pan is hot before adding the tortillas.

Heat the Pan

Place the rolled tortilla onto the hot skillet. Cook for about 30 seconds or until bubbles form on the surface and the bottom is lightly browned. Flip the tortilla and cook the other side for another 30 seconds.

Cook the Tortillas

Remove the cooked tortilla from the skillet and place it in a clean kitchen towel to keep warm. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas.

Keep Warm

Serve the flour tortillas warm with your choice of fillings or toppings.
