Ingredients
Method
Making the Dough
- Mix the flour and salt in a large bowl, ensuring an even distribution.
- Add the lard or oil to the flour mixture and work it in until it resembles coarse crumbs, about 2-3 minutes.
- Pour in warm water gradually while mixing until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Rest the dough by covering it with a kitchen towel for 30 minutes.
- Divide the rested dough into equal portions, usually 10-12 balls.
- Roll each ball out on a floured surface into thin circles, about 8 inches in diameter.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook each tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side until lightly golden.
- Keep warm by stacking cooked tortillas in a clean kitchen towel.
