Flour Tortillas! How to

Ingredients-

1 3/4 cup of all purpose flour

2 1/2 tablespoons of crisco

2 1/2 tablespoons of snow cap lard

3/4 teaspoons of salt

1 cup of warm water

Instructions-

Measure out 1 3/4 cup of all purpose flour, place in a medium sized bowl. Along with 2 1/2 tablespoons each of snow cap lard and crisco. Add the salt. Stir together. Rub the fat into the flour. You don’t want any big chunks of fat. It should resemble wet sand when you’re finished. Add a cup of warm water. Mix the water into your flour with a spatula at first, then use your hands to mix and knead the dough. Once it is ready, roll balls of dough about golf ball size. Cover the dough balls with a clean kitchen towel. Let rest for 30 minutes. After rested, take a ball, roll out thinly and place on a medium hot comal, pan or griddle. Cook on both sides for about 30 seconds to one minute. Do this for the rest of your tortillas until you are finished. Y se acabo! You’re done! Enjoy your tortillas in a burrito, as a soft taco or lap up sauce or protein with a piece of it.
