Flour Tortillas

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 cup pork lard, (melted if needed)

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large bowl whisk together the flour and salt. Stir in the pork lard and ¾ cup warm water. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let the dough rest for 15 minutes.

2. 2

   Divide the dough in half and then each half into 6 equal portions (so you have 12 pieces total). Lightly flour a workspace. Roll each piece of dough into a ball. Working one at a time, roll each piece of dough out into a 6-inch diameter circle.

3. 3

   Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, and working one at a time, add a tortilla and cook until lightly browned in spots on both sides, about 1 minute each side. Remove and set aside covered with a paper towel while the remaining tortillas cook.

4. 4

   To reheat the tortillas simply return to the non-stick pan and heat until warmed on both sides.
