Equipment

  • Kitchen Mixer

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • ¼ cup lard or vegetable oil
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup boiling water

Instructions
 

  • Mix all the ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer with the dough hook attachement
  • Mix the ingredients on medium speed for about 1 minute until everything is well incorporated
  • Remove the dough from the mixer and shape the dough into a ball. Cover with a kitchen towel and let it rest for 30 minutes
  • Divide the dough into equal size pieces (10-12) and let it rest for another 10 mins.
  • Press each piece flat and use a rolling pin to stretch them to the desired thickness (I like mine super thin)
  • Heat up a skillet and place the tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until bubbles start forming and tortillas get light blisters.
