Mix your dry ingredients, then add your lard. Mix until it is crumbly.
Slowly add 2 cups of water, mixing while adding. DO NOT DUMP IN AT ONCE. If your dough is super dry still, add more water a little at a time.
You want your dough to be sticky, but not so sticky and wet that it doesn’t hold shape.
Put dough on the counter and knead for 5 minutes, or until dough is no longer sticking to your hands.
Cover with a wet paper towel and let rest for 30 minutes.
Pinch small balls off of the dough. These will be your tortillas that you will roll out.
Cover with a paper towel again and let rest for another 30 minutes.
On a floured surface, roll your dough out as follows: make one full pass of flattening the tortilla, then flip the tortilla over and turn it 90° so that you are rolling the dough in the opposite direction.
Repeat this process until your tortilla is thin and the size you want.
Heat on a comal, or cast iron skillet/surface that is on medium high temp, for 20 seconds or so on each side.
