* Chicken broth and beef broth, about 1+3/4 cups.
* Seasoned with bay leaf, oregano, thyme, and cumin. No chile this time.
* Pinto beans processed to powder, about 3/4 cup. The liquid was already boiling, the bean dust thickened the liquid immediately. The heat was turned back to nearly nothing.
Tortillas:
* 1 cup whole wheat flour.
* 1 cup A/P flour. I do not recommend this combination. The more A/P flour used, the softer the tortillas. The more WW flour used, the more brittle the finished tortilla.
* 2 Tablespoons lard worked into the flour
* 2 level teaspoons baking powder.
* 1 teaspoon salt.
* 1 cup hot tap water, thereabouts, enough to bring the dough together, mileage will vary, knead dough briefly, let rest for ten minutes.
* roll out, or press and patty-cake out flat like a Mexican mamasita, una mujer muy experta en la fabricación de las tortillas.
* fry in a heavy pan on medium without oil. The fat within the tortilla will prevent them from sticking.
