I’m a new reader to your blog, and have made tortillas a few times. I’ll have to try your recipe. I noticed you use butter. The recipe I use calls for shortening or lard, and recommends a combination of both for best flavor. While I was watching your video about chicken stock, I was thinking you could use the fat from your chicken stock (that you discard after you refrigerate) for making your tortillas. Just substitute one Tbs. of your butter with it and see if you like the flavor. (Your bacon drippings would also work.)

Do you use unsalted butter in this recipe?

I am not sure, keep practicing I guess…. you could try a tortilla press, but you still have to roll it out after you press it.
