ingredients
directions
- Into a bowl combine the flour and salt. Sift until it has been mixed well.
- Next add the lard one scoop at a time until you have a crumbly mixture.
- Slowly add water while mixing with hands. The mixture should soak up the water right away. Spread a little bit of lard on your hands in order to get the mix off.
- With the lard still on your hands, tear off golf ball sized pieces and roll each piece into a tight ball.
- Once all of the dough is made into separate balls let stand in bowl at room temperature for about half an hour to an hour, while covered with a kitchen cloth.
- After they have sat for the desired amount of time, roll out into a thin round flat shape (you can make them more or less thick according to personal preference).
- Heat dough up on very hot ungreased pan. Each side should take 15-25 seconds to cook. You will know when the second side is done when a large bubble forms. Each side should have several brown spots on them.
- You can place cooked tortillas into plastic bag with a kitchen cloth inside to keep them soft.

I love to cook and especially to bake from scratch. I usually don't have the time to bake so when I do I like to make something extra yummy. I love it when my family has short one sentence conversations at the table (that means it was suuper good). I am very passionate about scrapbooking and all things arts and crafts. I enjoy spending time with my family and on beautiful days our time could only be spent outdoors!
