EASY TO MAKE FLOUR TORTILLAS
I've always been intimidated about making tortillas. Finally I found a method that for me is easy and that doesn't make me run the other way with equipment I can't pronounce much less spell. The only specialized equipment that this recipe has is a food processor. This was modified from Rick Bayless' recipe.

Steps:
- 1. Dissolve salt into water and put aside.
- 2. Put measured all purpose flour into your food processor. Add 5 TBSP of the lard. Process until all the lard is incorporated into the flour.
- 3. While food processor is going, slowly add all the water. A dough should form that pulls away from the side of processor.
- 4. Scoop the dough onto a clean dry lightly dusted with flour work space. Knead a few times.
- 4. Divide the dough into 12 portions and form them into the size of a golf ball. Place on a plate in a single layer and cover with plastic wrap. Let them rest for 30 minutes.
- 5. Heat an ungreased 9" cast iron skillet to medium or medium high.
- 6. On your lightly floured station take a dough ball. Press flat with the palm of your hand. It should be round. Now use a rolling pin and roll forward away from you and then back toward you, turn the dough a sixth of a turn and repeat. Keep doing this until it is about 7 inch in diameter. Don't worry if it isn't in a perfect circle. You might need to add a bit of bench flour as you do this so that it doesn't start to stick.
- 7. Lay the tortilla in your hot pan. Cook for about 30-45 secs and then turn over and cook for another 30-45 secs. It will get puffed up. Do not worry and don't flatten. Make sure you don't overcook them as they will become crispy.
- 8. Remove them from the pan and wrap them in a cloth napkin or dish towel. Stack them on top of each other in the dishtowel. This will help them stay soft.
- Side Note: I would roll out 2 and then cook one in the pan and then roll out the next and continued this way until all 12 were done.
