Prepare the Tortillas
In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in lard until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add warm water until a dough forms. Knead for a few minutes, then divide into 8 equal balls. Roll each ball into a thin circle and cook on a hot skillet for about 1 minute per side.
