Flour Tortillas

In a large bowl whisk together the flour and salt. Stir in the pork lard and ¾ cup warm water. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let the dough rest for 15 minutes.
Divide the dough in half and then each half into 6 equal portions (so you have 12 pieces total). Lightly flour a workspace. Roll each piece of dough into a ball. Working one at a time, roll each piece of dough out into a 6-inch diameter circle.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-low heat, and working one at a time, add a tortilla and cook until lightly browned in spots on both sides, about 1 minute each side. Remove and set aside covered with a paper towel while the remaining tortillas cook.
To reheat the tortillas simply return to the non-stick pan and heat until warmed on both sides.
Makes 12 (6-inch) tortillas.
