Preparation:

Step 1
• Pour corn flour, salt into a deep bowl, add lard and knead the dough thoroughly.
  
  Add water and mix until smooth. The dough should be slightly damp. Wet your hands, form the dough into a ball, and divide it into 12 pieces. Roll the balls. Place the ball on parchment paper and press it with your hand to form a round patty.
  
  Then cover with another sheet of parchment paper and roll the dough out with a rolling pin into a circle 17 cm in diameter and 0.3 mm thick. Repeat with the remaining dough balls.
Step 2
• Fry the tortillas in a preheated nonstick skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes per side. Line the tortillas with parchment paper.
