Steps:
- Combine 9 ounces flour and salt in the bowl of a food processor and pulse 2 to 3 times.
- Add the lard to the flour mixture in 4 to 5 chunks and pulse 10 to 15 times until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. With the processor running, add the water in a steady stream just until a ball of dough begins to form, approximately 30 seconds.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of flour on a clean surface. Remove the dough from the bowl of the processor and knead until well incorporated and less sticky. Wrap the dough ball in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 1 hour.
- Evenly divide the dough into 8 pieces and form them into round balls. Roll each ball into 7-inch rounds with a rolling pin on a lightly floured surface. Keep all of the dough balls covered with a tea towel.
- Heat an electric nonstick griddle to 375 degrees F.
- Put the tortillas, 2 to 3 at a time, onto the griddle and cook until light golden, about 4 minutes per side. Can be held for up to 2 hours, at room temperature, wrapped in a barely damp tea towel. Repeat with the remaining tortillas. Microwave for 1 minute in the damp tea towel to reheat.

Steps:
- In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the bottom blade, add the all-purpose flour, wheat flour and salt and pulse 2 to 3 times to combine. Add in the cold lard and butter and pulse until the mix resembles cornmeal-like texture, 5 to 6 (20-second) pulses. Add the warm water and pulse until a dough ball forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a well-floured board and knead until the dough is elastic and smooth and no longer sticky, 3 to 4 minutes. Form into a small loaf shape, about 6 by 4-inches. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature for 1 hour.
- Cut the dough into 8 equal pieces. Working with one at a time, roll into a ball, about the size of a golf ball and dust lightly with flour. Repeat.
- Place the balls, one at a time, into a well-floured tortilla press, press down and remove. You should have a 6-inch disc at this point. Place the disc on a floured board and roll out to 8 to 9-inch in diameter and almost paper thin, lightly dusting with flour and turning as needed. You can stack them, separated by waxed paper.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add the raw tortillas, one at time, cook for 30 to 45 seconds per side, or just until the bubbles puff up, then turn and repeat. Keep the cooked tortillas in a towel, covered, to keep warm and pliable.
- Special equipment: tortilla press.

Steps:
- In a food processor combine 2 3/4 cups of the flour (reserve the remaining flour for rolling out the dough) with the lard or shortening.
- Pulse several times until the fat is evenly distributed throughout the flour and no particles of fat are visible.
- Dissolve the salt in 2/3 cup of the warm water.
- With the machine running, pour the liquid through the feed tube in a steady stream and stop the machine once the dough has come together in a ball.
- Feel the dough; it should be a medium-stiff consistency, not too firm but not as soft as most bread doughs.
- If the dough is too stiff, divide it into several pieces, sprinkle with 1 or 2 tablespoons of the remaining water and process again until a ball forms.
- Divide the dough into 12 portions, roll into balls and place on a flat surface or plate.
- Cover with plastic wrap and allow dough to rest for at least 30 minutes.
- On a lightly floured surface roll each ball into a 7-inch circle by flattening the ball of dough, lightly flouring it, and with a rolling pin rolling forward and backward over the dough, then turn it a sixth of a turn and roll forward and backward again.
- Repeat the turning and rolling process until a 7-inch circle is formed, re-flouring the work surface as necessary.
- Place the tortilla on a plate and cover with plastic wrap.
- Repeat the rolling out process for the remaining 11 balls of dough.
- Heat a flat cast iron griddle over moderately high heat.
- Lay a tortilla on the griddle and cook for 20 to 45 seconds until tortilla bubbles and lightly browns on the underside.
- Flip the tortilla and cook it for another 30 to 45 seconds.
- The tortilla should be lightly browned but still soft and flexible.
- Transfer the cooked tortilla to a heavy towel and wrap it up.
- Cook the remaining tortillas in a similar manner and store stacked in the towel to keep them warm and soft.
- Tortillas can be stored in a sealable plastic bag and refrigerated until ready for use.
- To reheat the tortillas, tuck them in an"envelope" made out of aluminum foil and heat in a 325°F oven for 10 to 15 minutes.

FLOUR TORTILLAS
Steps:
- Heat the milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until tiny bubbles start to form around the edges of the pan (the milk should be 180 degrees F), 4 to 5 minutes. Immediately remove from the heat and stir in the lard until melted. Let cool for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl until completely combined. Pour in the warm milk mixture and stir with a rubber spatula until a shaggy dough forms.
- When cool enough to handle, knead the dough in the bowl until almost completely smooth, about 3 minutes; do not overwork, the dough should be soft and only slightly elastic and not sticky. Wrap in plastic and let rest at room temperature for 1 hour to relax dough.
- Divide the dough into 16 balls about a scant 3 tablespoons each (or 46g.). Arrange the balls on a rimmed baking sheet and cover with a damp kitchen towel until ready to use.
- Working with one dough ball at a time, roll out on a lightly floured surface to a 7-inch round.
- Heat a medium cast-iron skillet or large griddle over medium-high heat.
- Working with one at a time (unless using a large griddle), cook the tortillas, reducing the heat if they are getting dark too quickly, until air bubbles form on the surface and the bottom is brown in spots, about 30 seconds. Poke any large bubbles with a fork to release steam, flip the tortillas and cook until brown in spots on the other side, about 30 seconds. Stack and wrap the tortillas in a clean kitchen towel and keep warm. Repeat rolling and cooking the remaining dough balls.

Steps:
- Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Either by hand or with a pastry cutter, cut in the shortening till the mixture is crumbly. If the mixture looks more floury than crumbly, be sure to add just one or two more tablespoons of shortening till it is crumbly. Add about 3/4 cup hot water to the mixture, or just enough to make the ingredients look moist.
- With your hand or a large fork, knead the mixture making sure to rub the dough against the sides of the large mixing bowl to gather any clinging dough. If the dough still sticks to the side of the bowl, add a couple more tablespoons of flour until the dough forms a soft round shape. The dough is ready to roll out now, but it is best to let it rest. Cover it with a dish towel, and let it sit for about an hour or so.
- Take the dough, and pull it apart into 10 to 12 balls. Lightly flour your rolling area, and roll each ball with a rolling pin to about 1/8 inch thickness.
- Place each tortilla on a medium hot cast iron skillet. Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla does not look doughy.

Steps:
- Mix the flour, salt and baking powder in a large bowl. Add the butter and shortening. Cut in the butter and shortening until the flour resembles cornmeal, using a fork or your hands. Add the water to the mixture a little at a time until the dough is soft and not sticky. Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead the dough for a few minutes until smooth and elastic. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball. Let the dough balls rest, covered with a towel, about 15 minutes.
- Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Use a rolling pin to roll each dough ball into a thin 7-inch round tortilla. Place the tortillas one at a time into the skillet and cook until bubbly and golden, about 1 1/2 minutes. Flip the tortilla and continue cooking until golden on the other side. Put the cooked tortilla in a tortilla warmer or wrap in a clean kitchen towel. Repeat with the remaining dough.

Steps:
- In the bowl of a heavy duty mixer, place the flour, shortening and salt. Beat with the paddle until crumbly, about 3 to 5 minutes. With the mixer running, gradually add the warm water and continue mixing until the dough is smooth, about 3 minutes. Divide the dough into 3 pieces. Roll each into a ball and place on a baking tray or board. Cover with a towel and let rest at room temperature at least 15 minutes or up to one hour. Cut out eight 12 inch squares of waxed or parchment paper for stacking the tortillas. On a lightly floured board, roll each ball into a 10 inch circle, and transfer to a paper square. Stack on a baking tray or platter and refrigerate until cooking time. Uncooked tortillas can be kept in the refrigerator, well wrapped with paper squares between the layers, up to 2 days. To cook, heat a dry griddle or 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Carefully peel off the paper and cook the tortillas, one at a time, until puffy and slightly brown, about 30 to 45 seconds per side. Set aside to cool slightly on a towel lined platter. Bring to the table wrapped in a towel for warmth, or wrap well and refrigerate or freeze for quesadilla or other dishes.
THE BEST (AND EASIEST) FLOUR TORTILLAS
These tortillas are delicious and healthy. I've made them several times for a year now, and they taste so good! The secret to good tortillas is an overnight rest and lard; letting them sit makes for softer and less wheat-y tortillas, and the lard gives them the traditional tortilla flavor. You can find lard from your farmers market, Whole Foods, or online shopping websites (amazon, thrive market, etc.)

Steps:
- Mix together all ingredients except salt in a medium bowl, starting with smaller amount of water and vinegar. If you really can't find lard, use real butter or coconut oil.
- The dough should not be sticky at all. It should be easy to flatten in your hands, kind of like pie crust. Add flour if too wet, water if too dry.
- Let the mixture sit, covered, at room temperature for 10-24 hours. This step softens the texture and flavor of whole wheat.
- After time is up, mix in the salt well, and divide into 8 balls. If slightly sticky, dust the portions with arrowroot starch.
- Heat a pan to medium heat. Roll out a tortilla and place on pan when very hot. Roll out your next tortillia meanwhile
- Flip tortillas when bubbles appear, and remove them from pan after ~30 seconds.
- Serve immediately or cool and freeze
- To freeze: place each tortillia individually- not stacked- flat on a plate and place plate(s) in freezer. When frozen, stack and place in plastic bag.
