Description
Soft, homemade flour tortillas that are perfect for tacos, wraps, or any Mexican dish. These tortillas are easy to make with just a few basic ingredients.
Ingredients
- 2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- ¾ cup hot water
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder.
- Add Butter: Pour in melted butter. Mix using a fork or your fingers until the texture resembles cornmeal.
- Add Water: Add hot water and stir until the dough comes together. Transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth.
- Rest Dough: Cover dough and let rest for 30 minutes to relax the gluten (this helps with rolling).
- Prepare Griddle: Preheat a griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Divide Dough: Divide dough into 12 equal pieces. Keep unused portions covered to prevent drying out.
- Roll Tortillas: Roll each piece into a 6–8 inch round.
- Cook Tortillas: Cook each tortilla on the hot griddle until bubbly and golden, then flip and cook the second side.
- Keep Warm: Place finished tortillas in a warmer or under a clean kitchen towel to keep warm and soft.
- Repeat: Repeat with remaining dough.
Notes
- Use hot (not boiling) water to help with dough elasticity.
- Store leftover tortillas in an airtight container and reheat on a skillet or microwave.
