Tortilla Ingredients
Tortilla Preparation
1. Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.
2. Incorporate Lard
Add the lard or shortening to the dry ingredients. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix it in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Add Water
Gradually add the warm water to the mixture, stirring with a fork or your hands until the dough starts to come together.
4. Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5. Rest the Dough
Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
6. Divide the Dough
After resting, divide the dough into 12 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball.
7. Roll Out Tortillas
On a floured surface, roll each ball into a thin circle, about 8 inches in diameter.
8. Cook Tortillas
Heat a dry skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Cook each tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side, or until lightly browned and cooked through.
9. Store Tortillas
Keep the cooked tortillas warm in a clean kitchen towel while you cook the remaining tortillas. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.
