1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoons lard
3/4 cups water
Whisk the flour, salt, and baking powder together in a mixing bowl.
Mix in the lard with your fingers until the flour resembles cornmeal.
Add the water and mix until the dough comes together; place on a lightly floured surface and knead a few minutes until smooth and elastic.
Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball.
Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Use a well-floured rolling pin to roll a dough ball into a thin, round tortilla.
Place into the hot skillet, and cook until bubbly and golden; flip and continue cooking until golden on the other side.
Place the cooked tortilla in a tortilla warmer; continue rolling and cooking the remaining dough.
Makes 1 dozen.
