Popular in Northern Mexico, flour tortillas are eaten like bread and
used to make burritos.
Combine 2 cups flour and salt in a medium bowl. Rub in 1 /4 cup lard
with your fingers until evenly mixed. Gradually stir in enough water
to make a soft dough. Divide dough into quarters. Divide each
quarter into 3 equal pieces, making 12 pieces of dough in all.*
Shape each piece into a smooth ball. With your hands, smooth
additional lard over each ball to coat generously. Place balls in a
medium bowl; cover with a dry cloth towel. Let stand at least 15
minutes. Preheat an ungreased griddle or large heavy skillet over
medium heat. Shape each ball into a flat round patty. Sprinkle both
sides of patties with flour. On a lightly floured surface, roll out
each patty to an 8-inch circle. Place each tortilla on preheated
griddle. Cook until bubbles form on top and underside is flecked
with brown. Turn tortilla and press down bubbles with towel. Cook
until bottom is flecked with brown. Stack cooked tortillas and cover
with a dry cloth towel. Serve immediately or wrap in foil and reheat
briefly in oven before serving.
Makes twelve 8-inch tortillas.
* I made 8 balls.
