Homemade Flour TortillasI am currently living in Vietnam, where they don't sell tortillas in the supermarket. Street Tacos have been my biggest craving since moving. So, I had to figure out how to make my own tortillas. This is a super easy recipe and they turned out delicious.

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup warm water

Steps:

  1. First mix all the dry ingredients together.

  11. Now, pull off ping pong sized portions from the dough ball and roll them into little balls and place them on a plate.

  15. Now its time to roll your tortillas out. On a well floured surface flatten out the balls with your fingers. Cover your rolling pin with a thin layer of flour and roll out dough. You will want them pretty thin, otherwise they will be too doughy. Roll out then flip and rotate the tortilla and roll out again. Continue to do this until it is round and evenly thin. It takes a little practice to getting them round, but even cattywampus tortillas are delicious tortillas!

  17. Heat up your pan on medium high (cast-iron pans are best).
  18. Before putting your tortilla in the pan, wipe off any extra flour on the tortilla. Heat on the ungreased pan for about 1 minute then flip and heat for another 30 seconds. You will need to play with the temperature. If it is too hot your tortilla will burn in spots and if the heat is too low your tortilla will crisp before you get any browning. We want these to come out soft with light browning.

  20. Eat immediately or put them in a plastic bag and put them in the fridge to use with in the next few days. They do dry out pretty fast, so you will need to warm them up in a pan with a little oil.

Although it may take some practice, it is possible to make both corn and flour tortillas at home. You may find that you like them better than store-bought brands. This is a page about making homemade tortillas.
