For mixer method, you'll need all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, lard (or vegetable shortening), and warm water.

In the bowl of your mixer, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Cut the lard into small pieces and add them to the dry ingredients. Mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Gradually pour in the warm water while mixing on low speed. Continue mixing until the dough comes together and forms a ball.

Increase the speed of your mixer to medium and knead the dough for a few minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and let it rest for about 30 minutes. This rest time will make rolling out the tortillas easier.

Divide the dough into small balls and roll each one out into a thin, round tortilla.

Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and cook each tortilla for about 1 minute on each side, or until lightly browned and puffy.

Serve the warm tortillas immediately or keep them covered with a towel to stay soft and pliable until ready to use.
