Mark's homemade tortillas

Tortillas can make or break a taco, enchilada, or other Mexican themed meal. There is just something about homemade tortillas…and boy do I have a great and oh so easy recipe for you! But to give credit where credit is due, it is not my original recipe. This recipe is Mark’s, hence the name!

Mark graciously gave me permission to use his recipe, and I am so glad he did, because I think you guys are going to love it. This recipe is super easy (kind of fits for the blog, right?) and tastes great. You will never be in a bind for tortillas again because this calls for ingredients you will have on hand, and be made in just a few minutes.

Servings: 24

Ingredients

  • 4 cups flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 1/4- 1 1/2 Boiling water

Instructions

  • Mix flour, baking powder, and salt together.
  • Add in the 1/2 cup of vegetable oil
  • Stir it all together until evenly distributed.
  • Add boiling water to achieve a good texture. Should be slightly sticky, but not so it sticks all over your hands. It should be soft, but not sticky. Have it stick to the table or counter, but not to your hands.
  • Knead well.
  • Separate dough into golf ball sized pieces.
  • Roll out on unfloured surface.
  • Roll very thin.
  • Preheat a shallow skillet or pancake griddle.
  • Cook on one side, flip and cook on other side, until slightly browned.

I found that just over 1 and 1/4 cup of boiling water was sufficient, but this may change for you. I cooked it on my pancake griddle, and cooked at about 350 degrees, and waited for it to bubble and brown slightly, then flipped it. A skillet works equally well. I made about 18 larger tortillas, but if you make them smaller, it may be 24. You control the size.

    Cool! I love seeing tortilla recipes, because we don’t have a lot of store-bought tortillas here. Do you think you could cook them a few at a time in the oven, to save some time?

      I have never tried that. I make them on a pancake griddle, so I made about 3 at a time.

    hi,
    if you wanted to pre make the tortillas to serve later would you cook them on the griddle then store in zip lock bag and re heat in the oven? im having a dinner party and don’t want to cook one by one, id like to be able to serve them all at once

      That sounds like a great idea, just be sure not to reheat in the bag. Wrap in a dish towel, or cover with foil. Good luck with your dinner party.

    So i Just came across this site and tried this recipe, it has given me the best results out of the recipes I have tried.

    When they came off the pan they were nice and soft, but then after cooling a little bit got hard and started cracking.

    Did I measure it wrong or? Any feedback, thanks?

      Kylie, I am not sure. When you measured your flour did you spoon it into the measuring cup or scoop it in? That can make a big difference in how much flour actually ends up in the recipe.
