Homemade Flour Tortillas

lard

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable shortening

Olive oil is healthier due to its unsaturated fats, while vegetable shortening is often cheaper.

Combine all dry ingredients with lard and hot water until a dough forms.

Knead the dough until smooth.

Make small balls of dough, called bolitas or testales.

Roll out the dough balls using a palote.

Cook the tortillas on a warm kumal, pressing lightly with a limpador.
