Homemade Flour Tortillas, should have shared this recipe long ago! One day I went through the recipes on my blog, I do this often so not to post a recipe I’ve already posted (it is possible if you were me), I was amazed that there are no Mexican dishes on my blog, hence today I’m sharing Homemade Flour Tortillas.
Homemade Flour Tortillas
Tortillas made with flour or corn, and in this recipe, I am using flour only. In my recipe, there is no lard, and no baking powder.
These tortillas are delicious and are far much better than store bought, since it has no preservatives, nor that acidic smell and taste you sometimes find in store bough tortillas.
You can freeze these flour tortillas for 6 months, just place a parchment paper between each flour tortilla, to prevent it from sticking together.
If you made your own flour tortillas, you’ll never buy them again, I promise! The recipe here will make 8 flour tortillas, feel free to double the recipe.
Follow me on Instagram, and if you happen to make any of my recipes, please post the picture and mention me in your post, or use this hash tag #munatycooking. I would love to see your creation.
As for my recipe, here you go!
Homemade Flour Tortilla
Ingredients
- 2 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup + two tablespoon warm water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Mix all dry ingredients and olive oil well.
- Gradually add the water and knead for 5 -7 minutes. The dough should not be stick but smooth and elastic.
- Cover the dough and let it rest for at least 15 minutes.
- Cut the dough to eight equal parts and form eight balls.
- Dip the ball in flour and then roll to almost 7 inch.
- Place flat pan on stove, on medium heat. Place the rolled dough on the pan. When light brown patches appear at the bottom, flip the tortilla and cook on the other side until light brown patches appear.
- Remove from heat and cover with cloth to keep it soft.
You’re right Muna, there’s nothing at the store to compare with homemade flour tortillas and yours look wonderful!
Thanks Chris! I was so fed up with store bought, I started making my own 🙂
These look so fresh and perfectly done, Muna.
Thanks Angie 🙂
These tortillas look perfect! I never thought of making them myself, I always buy them from the store. Fresh is always best, I could only imagine how tasty are the homemade ones!
I’m sure you’ll like them Melanie, they are perfect as wraps too 🙂
Homemade tortillas are the best! These ones are fresh and absolutely delicious!
After making them you won’t tolerate store bought 🙂
This tortilla recipe looks like a keeper! Super simple too!
Thanks Marsha!
Muna I am so trying these asap! We usually buy the uncooked flour tortillas from refrigerator section. They carry just 3-4 ingredients and no preservatives so that always makes me feel better. BUT I will take homemade version anytime!! Thanks for such a wonderful recipe 🙂
You are welcome Ami, and hope you enjoy it 🙂
Oh my… It’s that easy huh. I think I’m going to have to make my own now.
Your flour tortillas look amazing. I love your pictures, beautiful.
Oh, I love love love homemade tortillas! We used to go to a Mexican place in Atlanta that made their own tortillas…and I miss that place. I did make them here at home a couple of times, but it’s been a while now. I need to give your version a shot…it looks amazing! 🙂
You are David, homemade can never be compared to store bought 🙂
