Homemade Flour Tortillas

Homemade Flour Tortillas

These tortillas are so good and super easy to make. 

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup warm water

Directions: 
  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment, add flour, salt and baking powder. Mix on low for 30 seconds until dry ingredients are incorporated. Add vegetable out and warm water
  2. Mix on low until mixture starts to come together and starts to form a smooth ball.
  3. Transfer dough to a floured surface and divide dough until you get 16 equal portions then shape each portion into a ball then gently, using the palm of your hand, flatten out the dough.
  4. Cover flattened dough with a clean kitchen towel and let rest for 15 minutes before proceeding.
  5. After dough has rested, heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
  6. Roll each dough piece into a 6-inch diameter circle on lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin or tortilla press.
  7. When the pan is hot, place one dough circle in the middle of the pan and let cook for 1 minute OR until the surface of the dough starts to bubble and the bottom starts to brown. Flip it and cook the same way on the other side. You want the tortilla soft and to have little brown spots on it.
  8. Stack them on top of each other to cool.

  1. Lay Tortillas out on a cooking sheet and flash freeze. 
  2. When Frozen place in ziplock bag
