Tortillas!
April 29, 2008 > 8 Comments
With Cinco de Mayo less than a week away, it’s not too late to brush up on your tortilla making skills. Don’t have any tortilla making skills, well you have come to the right place. Below you will find a tortilla tutorial. Say that one five times fast.
Tortillas
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 teas baking powder
- 1/2 teas salt
- 2 Tablespoons of butter (softened)
- 1/2 cup of warm water
Combine flour, baking powder, salt and butter in a medium bowl.
Gradually add water and mix until a smooth dough is formed. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.
Roll dough into one and one-half inch balls. Set on a plate and cover. Let rest for ten minutes.
Flatten one ball at a time between two small plates and then roll into a six inch circle.
The flatter you roll the dough the more it will resemble soft tacos, thicker dough is more like a gordita.
Place the tortillas on a griddle and cook over a medium heat until the tortillas turn white, then flip and repeat.
Ready to eat.
You can even make these for dessert. Just follow the recipe above and when the tortillas are right off the griddle, butter them and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Delish!

Great job on the tutorial!
What kind of flour are you using?

I am using unbleached white flour. I have made them with half white/ half wheat and they are delicious too.

Thanks for the recipe! I tried making tortillas with the kids a couple days ago, and they came out too brittle to roll. I think I’ll try this recipe next time!

Tortillas are one thing I’ve never tried to make… and I cringe at the price or them in the store… AND we eat a LOT of tortillas, so… THANKS for the recipe. Great idea!

This is great, thanks! I have never tried making these, but i will now try since we eat them all the time for “roll up sandwiches”, quick quesadillas, tacos, mini pizzas, etc etc. Here is a question though, How long will these keep in the fridge? The same amount as the store bought?
