  • ✅ No preservatives or additives
  • ✅ Simple pantry ingredients
  • ✅ Ready in just 30 minutes
  • ✅ Can be made ahead and frozen

🛒 Ingredients (Makes 10–12 medium tortillas)

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil, olive oil, or melted lard
  • 3/4 cup warm water (add a bit more if needed)

👩‍🍳 How to Make Homemade Flour Tortillas

Step 1: Mix the Dough

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder. Add oil and warm water. Mix until dough begins to come together.

Step 2: Knead and Rest

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 2–3 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Cover and let it rest for 15–20 minutes to relax the gluten.

Step 3: Divide and Roll

Divide the dough into 10–12 equal balls. On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a thin circle (about 6–8 inches in diameter). Keep the rest of the dough covered to prevent drying.

🔄 Tip: Try to keep them evenly thin for the best texture.

Step 4: Cook the Tortillas

Heat a dry skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Cook each tortilla for 30–60 seconds per side or until light golden spots appear. Do not overcook or they will harden.

🫓 Stack cooked tortillas under a clean towel to keep them warm and soft.

🧊 Storage & Reheating Tips

  • Room temperature: Store in a sealed bag for 2 days
  • Fridge: Store up to 1 week
  • Freezer: Freeze with parchment between each tortilla for up to 2 months
  • Reheat: Warm in a skillet or microwave wrapped in a damp towel

🔁 Variations

Type Modifications
Whole Wheat Swap 1 cup flour for whole wheat flour
Flavored Add chopped herbs, garlic powder, or spices
Vegan Use olive or avocado oil
Gluten-Free Use a gluten-free flour blend (check consistency)

🥙 Serving Ideas

  • Tacos with grilled meats or veggies
  • Burritos, enchiladas, or quesadillas
  • Wraps with hummus or chicken salad
  • Breakfast burritos with eggs and cheese
  • As a base for thin-crust tortilla pizza
