1/2 tsp salt

2 Tbsp vegetable or canola oil

1 cup of warm water

1 Tbsp melted lard

Add flour, salt, oil, and water into a mixer with a bread hook if you have it. A regular beater will work as well. Start to mix on medium.

Put lard into a microwave safe mug and melt in microwave about 90 seconds.

While mixing, add melted lard to mixer. Mix until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.

Get dough out of bowl and flour your rolling surface. Make 1 inch balls of dough and flour them up to be rolled out.

Heat up a skillet on high, and cook tortilla on one side until it bubbles, then flip. Cook on the other side, about 30 seconds. They cook really fast.

OUR BETTER THAN FAST FOOD ONION RINGS

Onion Rings 4 Large White Onions 6 Cups Unbleached Flour 3 Tablespoons Salt 3 teaspoons of Garlic Powder 1 1/2 teaspoons of Black Pepper 2 1/2 teaspoons of Paprika 4 Large Eggs 1/2 Cup Milk Canola or Vegetable Oil for frying These are the BEST homemade onion rings. Not much batter, light, crispy and delicious. It seems like it would be overwhelming, but actually it is well worth the time. Start out with 4 large white onions. We have found these work the best.

Even if it seems thin, it will rise. After it has been rolled out multiple times, use a biscuit cutter or a cup about the size you want your biscuits to be. (I actually use a kids IKEA ...

Party Chili Cheese Dip

In our experience, if you bring this Chili Cheese Dip to a party, you will NEVER bring any leftovers home! CHILI CHEESE DIP INGREDIENTS 2 pkg cream cheese, softened 1 family size can of Stagg Chili (or whatever chili you prefer) 1 Large bag of shredded cheddar cheese Green Onion Sliced Olives Preheat oven to 350. In baking sheet (we use a 9x13) smear cream cheese evenly over the bottom of the pan. Top with the chili (stir chili inside can to begin with so you don't have excess liquid and it is all incorporated) spread chili evenly over the cream cheese. Top that with enough shredded cheeses to completely cover the chili. On top of cheese add green onion and olives to taste. Bake in 350 degrees oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until cheese is completely melted. Serve warm with Frito Scoops.
