The Pot Roast

Breakfast Burrito with Breakfast Beef Sausage

Flour Tortillas

2 cups flour

3 tbsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 cup lard

1/2 - 3/4 cup warm water

Instructions

Start by adding flour, baking powder and salt, mixing to combine. Then add lard. Work in lard until it is well incorporated. Create a well in your bowl of dry ingredients and add water a little at a time, incorporating each addition well. (You may not use all the water and it could take more; it just depends on the humidity). The dough will be sticky at first. Knead the dough until the bowl becomes clean and your shoulder is tired. Then knead it for 2 additional minutes. Once the dough is kneaded to the proper texture, begin by dividing the dough into 8 balls, 2 inches each. You are now ready to begin rolling out and cooking the tortillas. Work a dough ball into a disc with the center thinner and the edges thicker. Begin rolling out the disc on a floured surface. Do not apply too much pressure as you roll them out. The consistent back and forth motion is what will create the rolled-out tortilla. Don’t worry about getting them perfectly round, that will come with time and practice. You will want to roll them out to about 1/16 of an inch thick. Place tortilla on a rocket hot griddle or even a nonstick skillet to cook. Cook each tortilla for a total of 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, flipping from side to side every 15 seconds or so. Once cooked they may feel a little stiff; however place them in a tea towel with the other warm tortillas and they will limber back up.

9 minutes or until crumbles reach 165°F, stirring occasionally. This recipe came from the Beef It’s What’s for Dinner website.
