Homemade Tortillas


On Sunday, I decided to make homemade tortillas! I just looooove Mexican food {it's my fav!}, and I love going to a restaurant and having made-from-scratch tortillas.

Little did I know just how easy it was to make them! I grabbed this recipe from Childhood 101.

You will need:

  • 3 cups of all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. of salt
  • 1 tsp of baking powder
  • 1/3 cup of vegetable oil
  • 1 cup warm water
1. In a mixer, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder.

2. Add the oil and water and mix until the dough starts to form a ball.

3. Place the dough on a lightly-floured surface and knead until smooth. This is how you knead:


Hehe!!

4. Divide the dough into sixteen balls. Flatten the balls with your palm.

5. Cover the pieces with a clean tea towel {or I just used a big paper towel} and let it be for 15 minutes.

6. Heat a frying pan. One at a time, roll out the dough until it is very, very thin. 

7. Place the dough on the frying pan until a few golden spots appear. Cook on both sides.

You're welcome, people! These were the BEST tortillas I've ever tasted! :)
