Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ C white flour
  • ¼ C cake flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoon lard or bacon grease
  • ⅔ C water

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, heat flours and salt.
  • In a small separate bowl, heat lard and water in microwave until melted.
  • Pour water mixture over flour mixture and stir with a wooden spoon or your hands until a ball is formed.
  • Allow to rest at room temp for 1 hour.
  • Divide dough into 14 equal pieces and roll into balls.
  • Cover with damp towel for 30 minutes.
  • Roll out each dough ball to the desired size. I like em smaller for "street" size tacos, or for a quick snack.
  • Heat an electric skillet to 425° or heat a pan over medium high heat for a few minutes. 
  • Cook each side for about 20 seconds. 

Notes

Eat a few while they're warm, seriously. These homemade tortillas will bring so much flavor and love to your next meal.
