Homemade Tortillas

Inspired by PBS Chef Rick Bayless, Chris cooked up some homemade tortillas yesterday. A-maz-ing! Here's the recipe for 12 tortillas:

Whisk together 2 3/4 cups flour and 1/3 cup of pork fat or vegetable shortening in a mixer until evenly distributed
Dissolve a teaspoon of salt in 3/4 cup of water
Slowly add water to flour mixture, continually mixing, until dough comes together (should be sticky)
Cut dough into 12 sections & roll into balls
Cover and allow to rest approximately 30 minutes
On a floured surface, roll each ball into a tortilla
Cook in iron skillet on medium to medium-high heat for about 1-2 minutes per side
