How To Make Homemade Tortillas

[MrsKrissyB]

How long did it take for you to get the hang of it. i have tried n they keep coming out hard n white. no browns spots. This is harder than it looks or i just am not a tortilla maker. But my daughter ants them so bad but store bought ones taste nasty. Do you have an idea what i might be doing wrong?

@MrsKrissyB The most important step to making your tortillas soft in the end is putting them under paper towel and then tin foil on top wrapped really tight right after they come off the griddle. That is what makes them so soft and pliable. The brown spots come when your griddle is just the right temperature. It needs to be really hot before you start making your tortillas because the tortillas begin to bubble up causing the brown spots in the area where they bubble up. Hope this helps!

Nice job. Tonight I've added a 'lil onion powder, granulated garlic and cayenne pepper to them. Hope they turn out as good lookin' as yours. I've rolled them to thick in the past, thanks for the vid! Yours look nice and pliable....

hey good video..never used self rising flour..thanks

Very good - just a suggestion though - when you get ready to spread your ball of flour, flatten it a bit with you hand and flour your rolling pin like you did and only sprinkle flour on top of your flatten ball. See this will help you stretch it better and faster as the bottom part will have a better grip and you won't have your tortilla slippen and sliding. Just a tip, try it you'll see this really works. Remember to sprinkle very little flour so your tortillas don't come out feeling sandy.

Thanks for making that looks so easy. I think I will give it a try!

[jtscriv]

Your very welcome. I just love making tortillas. It is actually fun once you get the hang of it and they are so very very delicious, you may never go back to store bought tortillas again.

Thanks for the info. Do you oil the pan you cook on? And could you use a frying pan instead of the griddle?

[jtscriv]

I don't oil the pan or griddle. Yes you can use a regular pan. Glad you enjoyed the video!!

very nice¡¡

[christinacookies]

Excellent recipe. Using regular white flour works just as well...very soft reminds me of grandamas..I'm gonna try wheat flour next...just to see if it works. Thank you for sharing.

thanks for this video

wow, that's correct...that's how Hispanics make homemade tortillas down to the point where the first one never comes out just how you want it. it's always the first. most use lard instead of Crisco. and since we make them so fast we don't use gloves. great job! you and I make them exactly alike!so soft and fluffy looking. TIP: you have the ingredients right there for homemade biscuits too just add buttermilk.

if i dont have self rising flour will the recipe come out?

[jtscriv]

if you don't have self rising flour then you will have to have 2 cups flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp. salt, 3/4 cups of water, and 1 Tbsp vegetable shortening or lard. Personally I would always keep the self rising flour on hand because it is so much easier, but you can make it this way as well.

not bad for an american!! you did it well..im mexican but that kind tortillas come from the north area of mexico...the south tortillas for me are the original mexico tortillas, because the metod to do it was make by the aztecs and were eaten for centuries after the spanish conquer...investigate in other sites about the quesadillas and memelas or picaditas...really the best dishes using tortilllas..try it!!!..srry for my english...is not good..TY

[duranni]

I tried making tortillas last night for my wife's birthday, too bad I didn't check here to find a video like this.. Good job!!

[jtscriv]

Thanks! I find making tortillas this way is fairly easy.  They are so good off the griddle with some bacon and cheese.

[Frenchienight]

I like the idea of wrapping the spoon. Neato!

[jtscriv]

I learned this easy trick from a dear friend of mine. You can also wrap your measuring cups as well for easy clean up.
