## Tips

- For the fat, butter works great, but pork fat saved from cooking bacon is also recommended.
- If the dough sticks to your hand while kneading, add a pinch of flour.
- Roll out the tortillas until they are just thin enough to see through.
- For a burrito, use a larger piece of dough and roll it into a bigger shell.
- This recipe makes a stack of 9 tortillas, but can yield 12 if made the same size.
