Directions:
- Any optional ingredient is to be added to the flour before you add the salted water.
- In a large bowl combine the fat with the flour using your fingers until completely incorporated.
- Add any optional ingredient now.
- Stir the salt into the water to dissolve and pour around 2/3's of a cup over the mixture.
- Working fast begin to stir.
- You should have clumps and not a blob of dough.
- Check to make sure all the dry ingredients are moist and if not continue to add water a bit at a time.
- Turn out and knead until smooth consistency is achieved.
- Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and form into balls.
- Set the balls on a plate, cover with plastic and let rest for 30 minutes.
- Heat an ungreased griddle or heavy skillet-I use cast iron, over medium high heat.
- One at a time place each ball on a lightly floured surface and begin to roll out to a 7 to 8 inch diameter circle.
- Lay the tortilla on the hot griddle-you should see almost immediate bubbling across the surface-for about 40 seconds, turn and cook another 40 to 45 seconds.
- Remove to a heavy towel, wrap and repeat process until done.
