In a deep bowl, mix the flour, maseca, salt, baking powder, and blend. Add the lard, butter, and gradually the water until it reaches a manageable consistency. Make small balls and in a tortilla press with plastic on the bottom and top, flatten, fill, and seal the edges with a fork, then poke in the center to let it breathe. Place a skillet over low heat with enough oil and fry. Drain the oil and serve with lettuce, tomato, and avocado.
