Tortilla Ingredients
Method
Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well. Add the lard or vegetable shortening and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- 2
Add Water
Gradually add the water, mixing until the dough comes together. Knead the dough in the bowl for about 2-3 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.

Rest the Dough
Cover the dough with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes. This will help make the tortillas more pliable.

Divide and Roll
After resting, divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and then flatten it slightly. Use a rolling pin to roll each piece into a thin circle, about 8 inches in diameter.
