Homemade Tortillas/tortilla strips

This is a cool, yummy recipe I found to make tortillas at allrecipes.com and turned out great!


Ingredients:

4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons baking powder

2 tablespoons lard

1 1/2 cups water

Directions:

1. 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 24 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball.
2. 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.

To make tortilla STRIPS use the exact same recipe, only after you roll the dough flat, use a pizza slice to cut the dough into strips and fry them the same way as above...maybe using a little oil and salt for taste!
