Add 4 cups of all-purpose flour into a bowl.

Add 1 tablespoon of chipotle powder, 0.5 teaspoons of garlic powder, 0.5 teaspoons of onion powder, and 1.5 teaspoons of salt to the flour and mix.

Add 0.5 teaspoons of baking powder to the mixture and mix again.

Crumble 6 tablespoons of lard or vegetable shortening or butter into the flour mixture until it resembles wet sand.

Add 2 finely chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce and 3 tablespoons of chipotle sauce to the mixture and combine.

Slowly add 1.25 cups of hot water, mixing until all flour is hydrated and the dough is sticky.

Knead the dough for 5 minutes until it is nice and soft.

Divide the dough into portions based on desired tortilla size (large for burritos, medium for regular, small for tacos).

Roll each portion into a smooth ball and place in foil, brushing with a little oil or lard to keep them covered.

Cover the dough balls and let them rest for 20 minutes.

Preheat the skillet on medium heat while the dough rests.

Dust the countertop with flour and roll out each ball of dough until thin and translucent.

Place the rolled tortilla in the skillet and cook until it blisters, about 20-25 seconds, then flip it over and cook until puffed.

Remove the tortilla from the skillet and repeat the cooking process for the remaining dough.
