Directions:
- Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl.
- Add the shortening or lard. Use your clean hands to cut in the shortening or lard.
- Add warm water a little at a time until your dough is not sticky. Knead the dough for a few minutes.
- Pull off equal sized pieces to make about 12 small dough balls. Let them rest for about 15 minutes or longer.
- While dough is resting, heat up the pan. A cast iron skillet works well, or you can buy a comal. This is like a skillet but with low sides. For you cooks that like it authentic, comals are made for cooking tortillas.
- Heat the pan at medium heat. You don't want the tortillas to cook too fast.
- Roll the dough out with your smallest rolling pin, or a palote if you have one. Dust each dough ball with a little flour just before you roll it out.
- Lay the rolling pin in the center of the dough ball and roll up and out from all sides. Keep doing that until you get it to a good round shape and fairly thin(about 1/8 or less).
- Lay your tortilla on the hot pan. After just about 10-15 seconds, flip to the other side for a few seconds more. When they are done they should have lots of little brown spots.
- Stack and cover them one-by-one in a clean towel as you cook them. Or you can use a tortilla warmer to keep them warm. They are now ready to be eaten
