| 1. Any optional ingredient is to be added to the flour before you add the salted water. | 2. In a large bowl combine the fat with the flour using your fingers until completely incorporated. | 3. Add any optional ingredient now. | 4. Stir the salt into the water to dissolve and pour around 2/3's of a cup over the mixture. | 5. Working fast begin to stir. | 6. You should have clumps and not a blob of dough. | 7. Check to make sure all the dry ingredients are moist and if not continue to add water a bit at a time. | 8. Turn out and knead until smooth consistency is achieved. | 9. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and form into balls. | 10. Set the balls on a plate, cover with plastic and let rest for 30 minutes. | 11. Heat an ungreased griddle or heavy skillet-I use cast iron, over medium high heat. | 12. One at a time place each ball on a lightly floured surface and begin to roll out to a 7 to 8 inch diameter circle. | 13. Lay the tortilla on the hot griddle-you should see almost immediate bubbling across the surface-for about 40 seconds, turn and cook another 40 to 45 seconds. | 14. Remove to a heavy towel, wrap and repeat process until done. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
