Not sure if this counts as bread, but I feel like this is important 😂
I've never particularly enjoyed eating store bought tortillias at home. To me it always tasted like a stale, dry piece of cardboard, so I always had to work my magic with the ingredients to make it somewhat tasty.
Anyway, now I've been making them at home for the past half year, and it completely changed my view at the beautiful tortillia! And it s super simple.
My recipe for 6:
250g flour (I mix it up, this is 200g T80 50g kamut)
150g water
baking powder (teaspoon)
Olive oil (3 spoons)
Salt (generous)
Just mix and portion in 6 balls. Roll out with rolling pin.

How do you manage to get them like this?! Even my favourite recipe ends up thick and then goes rubbery the moment it cools slightly. I’ve found I can get them thinner and more flaky if I cover them with a saucepan lid while they’re in the pan. But yours look 100x better!
What makes them better? Texture? Flavor? I know you said the ones you’ve had taste like cardboard, but I’m curious if there’s more.
Btw do any chain restaurants have “good” tortillas by your standards? Just curious if I can compare myself 🙂
Have you tried a pasta sheeter
Agreed, I often like to eat them on its own. So good.
Looks amazing!! Excellent work
Not sure if it counts as bread?
Of course tortillas are bread, how could they not be bread?
We make them at home too, but I’ve never had a batch come out quite this round, that’s impressive.
I wish I was better at making them, they taste better than store bought and honestly a pack of 12 burrito tortillas at my local store is like 5 bucks, you can make them with bulk purchased flour for like 50-75 cents maybe? It doesn’t even take that much time once you get going, I’ve thought about just making a bulk of like 20-30 sometime just to have some in the fridge.
Honestly I’m really hungry and seeing this I’m very jealous. So you have annoyed me. Ugh. Now I have to go make tortillas!
Bwahahaha Bwahahaha! As a Mexican this is part of our evil plan to conquer USA and set Mexican food as the default food, and continue our dominance to the north pole.
Seriously, isn’t a tortilla, flour or corn, like the best food delivery mechanism that the world has known?!
It works with many different dishes of cuisnes of all over the world: Middle eastern, Korean bbq, Thai, etc.
And the tortilla kindly, humbly, sits in the background, it doesn’t want to take the central place, the tortilla leaves that place to whatever the filling is, just at the end leaves you an after taste that says “hey I carried the main dish, I was here too, don’t forget me ok?”.
I can never get mine like this.
Definitely notnbread
Be careful it can be a deadly habit diet wise lol
Aaaahhh fuck. Im sitting in a hospital bed rn STARVING and this is the last thing I needed to see
Yeah I can’t go back to store bought. I use duck fat, haven’t tried baking powder but doesn’t seem necessary.
I love to make them home made as well
