Ingredients
- 500g plain flour, sieved
- 0.5 tsp Baking powder
- 1 pinch Salt
- 100g lard
- 120 ml warm water
Method
1. Place the flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl, rub in the lard.2. Add the water in a steady stream, and combine, until the mixture becomes a stiff but pliable dough.
3. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 10-15 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4. Divide the dough into 12 equal sized pieces and roll each piece out to form a 30cm circle. Cover with cling film to prevent them drying out.
5. Warm a heavy frying pan or griddle and cook each tortilla for 1 minute on each side, until the surface bubbles and has turned a light golden colour.
6. Wrap the tortillas in a clean tea towel to keep them warm and pliable until you have cooked them all and are ready to use them. Fill as desired.

thank you verry much.i have been looking for a good recipe and this is perfect.i rally appreciate the sharing of your great recipe thankyou.
Excellent recipie and so quick to make. I use my kenwood with dough hook for 5 min rather than by hand.
Way too dry - once cooked they crumbled rather than wrapped.
