Homemade Flour Tortillas

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!
