Homemade Tortillas!! 🫶

Ingredients for Homemade Easy Tortillas

3 cups flour

1 tsp salt

1 tsp baking powder

1/4 cup oil

1 cup water

Flour – You don’t need anything too special here. Good quality, all-purpose flour will do the trick. My personal favorite flour to use is Bob’s Red Mill.

Hot Tip: If you want your tortillas to have more fiber and health benefits, use all-purpose wheat flour instead.

Salt – Kosher sea salt, pink salt or even garlic salt will work perfectly.

Baking Powder – Any plain old baking powder will do.

Oil – A high-quality, light olive oil works best. You can also use avocado or canola oil.

Water – Use filtered, lukewarm water.

How to Make Homemade Tortilla Recipe

Gather all your ingredients.

Combine all the dry ingredients. Pour oil in slowly as you mix.

Add water in slowly as you continue to mix. Keep kneading the dough until it isn’t sticky anymore. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes.

Divide your dough into even pieces. On a well-floured surface, form each piece into a smooth, round ball with your hands.

On a well-floured surface, roll out each dough piece into a thin round tortilla shape.

Preheat a skillet over medium-heat. Cook the tortilla for about one minute on each side.

Keep tortillas warm by wrapping them in a towel until you’re ready to serve.

Tips For The Best Tortillas

Let the Dough Rest – Let the dough rest for at least ten minutes before you start separating and forming it.

Roll Out The Dough – Roll out the dough evenly all around, including the edges. Make sure that its as thin as possible.

Cooking Tortillas – Cook your tortillas on a cast iron skillet if you have one. Once cast iron gets nice and hot, it allows you to cook your tortillas in just 30-60 seconds on each side.

Reheat Tortillas – Reheat tortillas by wrapping a stack in paper towels and reheating in the microwave. You can also wrap them in foil and reheat them in the oven.
