Mix dry ingredients (flour, salt, baking powder) in a medium bowl.
Add Manteca to dry ingredients. Mix with hands. Mix should be powdery.
Pour a few ounces of the water into a bowl with other ingredients. Knead with hands until fully mixed. Repeat and continue until all water is used forming dough.
Leave the dough in a dome shape in the bowl. Cover with a tea towel for 10 minutes to let the dough rise.
Place a medium-large pan on a large burner on the stovetop and preheat using high heat.
Grab a piece of dough and create a flattened ball about 3 inches in diameter.
Use a roller to flatten dough balls and create a tortilla that’s about 10 inches in diameter (avoid stacking uncooked tortillas—they will stick together).
Cook tortillas on a preheated pan. Wait for the tortilla to bubble up and then flip over. Pat tortilla occasionally to help it rise.
Set aside and cover to keep warm. Serve fresh with your favorite dish.
