Homemade Flour Tortillas - Lard free

Burritos are such a great lunch to send with the hubs to work, especially since I can make them ahead of time and freeze them.  It's cheap, it's easy and it's way better than fast food.  I make our own Refried Beans which saves us a fortune.  While tortillas aren't that expensive, since we're trying to stick to a mostly whole foods diet, or at least make food at home from scratch, I began looking around for a good Tortilla recipe.  Unfortunately, most of them contained lard, or bacon grease, or something along those lines.  Nope, definitely not what I was wanting.  It took some more digging but I finally found some Lard Free recipes.  They were all very similar.  Here's what I ended up making...

Ingredients

• 3 cups flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/3 cup oil
• 1 cup hot water

Directions

• Mix flour, salt and baking powder together
• With hands, mix in oil
• Add hot water and mix until a large ball of dough forms
• Let sit for at least 30 minutes
• Divide into balls (I originally did 12, but after the first couple I realized that was too many and the tortillas were too small.  I recommend about 8 balls of dough)
• Roll out into tortillas and cook on hot griddle (I set mine to 300 degrees)
• Cook 2-3 minutes each side
