- Today I am making my Grandmother's soft flour tortillas. This is one of the first recipe I remember learning as a child. I have listed the measurements and tips below. Making a soft tortilla takes practice and familiarizing yourself with what the dough feels like and the texture before your roll out the tortilla. My best advice is keep on trying and don't give up. Best wishes to you all on your tortilla making journey!

TIPS FOR SOFT TORTILLAS
*Be sure the dough is moist and slightly tacky before kneading.
*IF the dough is still too wet, add a Tbsp of flour at a time until workable
*Be sure to knead for 10 to 15 minutes dough should be smooth and soft after kneading
*Be sure to rest for 15 minutes to allow the gluten in the flour to relax which helps the tortilla to bubble while cooking
*Try to roll out your tortilla thin
*Over use of flour during the roll-out process may change the texture

I am 12 years girl and I made this for all my family members. it was like roti, but some appreciated and some teased. Although, I made a 1st food by myself. I am happy with that.
That's is impressive. Roti is very similar. Keep cooking and trying new recipes
Practice makes perfect! You are already doing more than most adults can do.
Good for you! 😍
Whats funny is i can cook better then anyone in my family lol
Good job! Keep learning.
The fact that I really watched an 11minute and 53 second video on how to make tortillas really is a credit to how good this tutorial was. Your voice, simple editing, makes it feel easy.
Yes right! I feel the same way!
Get it girl....
Those helpful hints along the way keep it interesting. Love her videos
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh borito time
Do you mean it is an 11 minute video that could have got the point across in 53 seconds? I agree
I love it when people say “ that’s what my grandma taught me”, it makes remember mine. Oh, great recipe too😊

I tried and tried to make soft and pliable tortillas for years until I found this recipe! Now I make them ALL THE TIME. Far superior to grocery store brands, and if I'm out of lard, I just substitute for 2 tablespoons softened butter and a 4th cup vegetable oil and they still turn out perfect! They can be used for anything you want. Tonight I made smothered cheesy beef and rice burritos and they fold up so, so easy...they even stay nice and tender after the burritos get a quick bake! So impressed, thank you!
You use both butter AND vegetable oil instead of lard/shortening? Is there a noticeable difference in taste? I'd rather use the butter/shortening...
Thank you for making this recipe video and for educating mean ppl how to think in a good way. There r many ways to do things just like fry bread. I've been looking for good flour tortilla recipe and these look like real deal and delicious to me. I love breakfast burritos so much. Thank you for sharing❤
Thank you for the info on substituting butter and vegetable oil for the lard/shortening. I live on the island of Mindanao in the Philippines and for some reason the local supermarkets all stopped importing Crisco about a year ago. This has been a major setback in my overall baking efforts.Thanks again!
I wish I would have known this before I used just butter 😭 now I’m nervous how mine will turn out
I learned how to make tortillas almost 35 years ago from a co-worker. He was from Mexico. The youngest child of a large family. His daily chores included getting up early each morning to make tortillas. He told me that he would make 3-4 dozen per day. Said he started making them when he was 7 years old. He passed away long ago. Thank you Joe Flores from Winnemucca for teaching me.
Thank you for the memories Gochujang Mama. Guess what I'm doing for breakfast this morning ? Yep, chorizo, papas y huevos and homemade tortillas.
My father grew up in a restaurant that still stands. RIP to my uncle who took it over. My father had the same chores, I'm sure. He's in his 70's now.❤ My father and my mother taught me.
My favorite thing growing up was watching the bubbles form.
Sweet memories. When I was 11 my good friend who was eldest of 5 children of single mom taught me how to make flour tortillas. When we got home from school every day we would work on homework together and start with making tortillas like these and some tasty suppers. We lived in various countries due to my Dads job and my mom picked up how to make lots of different foods from these various cultures. I think food breaks down so many barriers especially when it is made with love. Thanks for the video !
Was the recipe different than this?
It truly is an art and I have fond memories of my grandmother making tortillas in her kitchen. Pioneer flour, handful of warm water, palm full of manteca (lard), pinch of salt, knead and pull off a chunk to rollout. She could make them in minutes.
Had to Stop watching the video and put pause to put this comment on here.. When you were making the small dough balls, just looking at your hands reminded me so much of my grandma and doing the same motion when she would make fresh tortillas for dinner con unas rajas con queso or huevo con chorizo. It brought back some very nice memories thank you for that
Edit: 6 min later.
WoW. I so didn't know you were gonna make chorizo con huevo. Literally brought a tear 😢 to my eyes. My wuelita passed away lat last year. Really Thank you for these memories.
Same here, except it was my Mamacita Chula that used to make her “testales” this way. I was making tortillas one day at my sister’s-in-law and she made fun of me for doing it that way. Watching this video, I just felt so vindicated. I know what I’m making for breakfast mañana! Love & blessings to all of y’all! :)
🖤
Awwww 🙂
I thought the same thing 🥺🤍 may our grandmas Rest In Peace
I feel my Grandma is with me always ….🥰🥰
I just wanted to mention that I made my first dozen of tortillas EVER today with the help of your instructional vid. And they were delicious my kids devoured them. Thank you Mama
Did the same devoured them alone tho
My 80yr old mother's exact recipe! Simply perfect! For this 54yr old spoiled child that didn't even know how to fry an egg! Just learned how to make floured tortillas!! ❤🎉😊
3 cups of all purpose flour
2 teaspoons of baking powder
1 teaspoon of kosher salt
1/3 cup of vegetable shortening
1 cup of hot water
(I’m hard headed, so I wrote the ingredients down.)
Lmaooo but thank you
Thank you
Wait instead of vegetable shorting can I use butter?
Jaeda Loraine I took a screen shot. Thanks
Jaeda Loraine thanks mate👍
For anyone else who might be relying on expired baking powder from the back of their pantry during this current situation…
You can test to see if your baking powder is still good to use by sprinkling some in a cup of hot water. If it fizzes it’s still good!
I have to go check, but thank you!
Thank you!!💛✨
I was wondering why they didn't come out, my baking powder was expired in 2015!! no fuzziness lol
Is this why mine didn't bubble up? They pretty much laid flat the entire time
Another reason they may not bubble is if the pan is not hot enough...
Love this recipe! If you don't have lard, shortening, or oil, use one stick (1/2 cup) of butter. Turns out great and the tortillas come out soft.
1/2 cup not 1/3? With three cups of flour?
I use bacon grease for my tortillas also
@@lindanelson4963 good comments
Is the texture different when using manteca vs shortening? I know it would affect the flavor, not sure about the texture. These look so pliable and soft. Wondering if it was the shortening that did that?
My tia would always make homemade tortillas. I loved watching her. Ever since she passed almost ten years ago I have had homemade tortillas. You’ve inspired me to keep her memory alive by trying to make my own. Thank you soo much
this quarantine has me learning how to cook
Same sis
Same but they came out hard!!!!!
Everything includes baking soda/powder. So I'm stuck without that. And goodness knows what shortening is ☹️
Veg Patch lol just replace shortening with any oil of your choice (avocado oil may be one the healthiest options but also one of the most expensive) 💗🙏🏼
@@karmashleef8462 ah, thanks. Any oil, that's great. I have olive oil at the moment so will have to try that. I'm going to ignore the baking soda as I don't have any at present. I'm craving flat bread of any description ! 👍
I have tried and tried to make flour tortillas in my 43 years of matrimony but they were never soft enough to roll for a burrito. Made these and my husband he doesn’t want to eat bought ones anymore. Thankful I saw your recipe now but wish I had it years ago!
I have tried for the past several years to get soft tortillas and i just can't as of today. They alway end up hard, half as soft as i would want them to be, or soft but once they get cold it's hard like a chalupa lol. I will keep practicing and measuring ingredients(something my kids joke i don't do) until i get this Soft tortillas.
Have been trying as well for about 16 years haven’t been able to make them they come out hard. I hope this works I will try this recipe
Follow exactly how Gochujang mama makes her tortillas, mine came out supple soft and delicious, I think the key is not adding any flour on the board or tortillas when spreading them ,I just power the rolling pin very lightly and that’s it, my grandkids ate them all they had bean and cheese burritos 🌯😀
All so only use lard for tortillas makes a lot of difference
Mine always come out as hard as a Plastic Frisbee. Horrible. My Mom and dad's side of the family made the best most flavorful light soft flour tortillas on the planet.,
When I was a little girl, I would sit on a stool waiting for them to come off the griddle, slather butter on them and eat until I couldn't anymore.
I'll try to make these
Y’all this is the best tortillas recipe ever. I was struggling with making tortillas and now they are the best I use 1/4 cup of olive oil inside of shorting .
Carpet nylon 😊by😮
FINALLY A GREAT TORTILLA RECIPE!! This is exactly how I was taught from the rolling to the cast-iron skillet even the way you held a rolling pin using it on the main part and not the handles. My grandmother used a makeshift rolling pin from my grandfather … and she told me until I got her relieve him that I would have to buy me a rolling pen and unscrew the handles. I love to say that I have my grandmothers rolling pin therefore she’s with me every time I make tortillas.
You shouldn't have to do that with the right proportions of ingredients.
We were spoiled by my grandmothers as they made homemade tortillas every day. My mothers' mother lived across the street from us and I pretty much ate with her at least 4 times a week so she wasn't by herself. Those were the best, and her food was the best, missed those days!!!
So she wasnt by herself AND you couldn't resist that homemade flave!
Christy •• - I was gonna say that, too. The best of Both worlds, companionship and great food too.
That's so cool
Flour tortillas are Tex-Mex though. You can Google it.
@@partsbill2003 Sorry. That's not accurate at all.
My family just made these tonight. I made the dough, my wife and I rolled the balls, and my 7 year old and I rolled them into shape while my wife cooked them in the pan. They are amazing! Thank you for the family project (and dinner!)
Wow
That's so cute!
This is the best flour tortilla recipe on the internet. Hands down.
I really appreciate that you embraced the imperfections in your process. That just gives us all permission to not be "perfect" and critical. This video was awesome!
My tortillas have sucked for 52 years mainly because I spoke zero Spanish and therefore could not communicate with my grandmother.
I’ve tried so many variations of tortilla recipes on UA-cam and they’ve all had disastrous results.
I followed your technique and recipe down to the last detail and my tortillas were amazing!!!
Thank you so much, The search is over!
Your grandma probably made corn tortillas, not flour. Just a guess.
@@kryptik0 lol
shoulda learned spanish instead of sucking for 5 decades
So glad they came out great, I also followed the recipe to a tee and boy they really were delicious!
Seeing the amount of work required to make these gives me a whole new level of respect for people who make them regularly!
There is no work at all. I can make delicious Flour Tortillas in a matter of minutes.
I agree!
@Charlie D I aint Mexican and my flour tortillas are superb.
@Charlie D Bullshit.
Charlie D not Mexican here and making these for tonight. Again. The first batch didn’t last long in my house. I eat tortillas with everything.
Thank you. This brought back amazing memories of me spending time with my Aubeula Connie. She taught me how to cook.
Thanks Angelica! I wasn't very good at making flour tortillas when I was younger, but I think I am a more patient cook now and they were wonderful! Soft & delicious! I always was never satisfied with chewy store bought flour tortillas, even what you heated them on a skillet. Huge difference! Many thanks! :)
Oh, my goodness. For the first time in 75 years I successfully made soft, beautiful, pliable tortillas! Thank you.
A lot of years ago I worked with a Hispanic lady who prided herself on her soft flour tortillas. She said her husband would go crazy over them. He had to have his tortillas every night.
But when he'd do something she didn't like, she didn't get angry. She just put a loaf of cheap white bread on the table. The nasty stuff made from wallpaper paste. That's how she kept her husband in line.
Just the right amount of wholesome pettiness. Lol! 😂
Such a nice passive-aggresive example
Sounds like witchcraft.
Yes sir , this is how my mom did it . Wait she actually didn't serve his plate and could you believe he wouldn't either . He preferred not to eat . All he had to do was serve himself ! Anyways ,I would serve his plate when I noticed . My dad wasn't going to starve . I never played these games , but I ended up divorced twice . So maybe I should've ,lol! Go figure!
I love white bread tho lmao
I've been looking for this for so long as our Mexican neighbor taught me to make all kinds of food but I forgot how unfortunately. I loved making and eating her food so so long ago. I was taught to make the balls this way also.. Thank you so much.
To me, This is the best recipe I have seen and watched for making flour tortillas. My mother always said that when making your dough if everything comes together in your bowl, and all the sides are clean then your dough is perfect. I know you have to kneed the dough for awhile. the more the better for me. It causes the tortilla to make big bubbles and a fluffier tortilla. Thank you for the recipe.
My grandmother passed away before I realized how important it would be to learn how to make tortillss... married now with 3 kids and I wish I would've taken the time to learn. So here I am at 26 learning to make them for my family. Thank you for the receipe. I'm trying this tonight! 🤞
Girl I'm 37 learning now for my hubby and daughter who loves her grandma's tortillas.
Hey Mona, did you try this recipe and if so, how did they turn out?
Same here 24 and 2 kids and a boyfriend that wishes I knew how to make these I have failed many attempts and am hoping this recipe can finally bring me to light on my luck wish I couldve learned when I was younger I would have been a pro by now !
Important lol
This is exactly me lol i lost my grandma last year. Now 26, and 3 kids and i NEED to learn.
Just made this recipe using unsalted real butter because I didn’t have lard. They came out amazing. Exactly what I wanted. And so soft! I can’t stop eating them. I’m loving your recipes so far.
i was wondering if butter would work in place of the shortening, i dont keep shortening on hand, did you use the same amount of butter as what is called for in the recipe for the shortening?
thanks, you answered my next question.
Thank you for posting.
Barbie Merkel sorry I just seen your comment. But yes I did. I just really had to break it into the flour.
I didn’t have shortening but I was wondering if butter would work. Thanks for leaving your comment, now I have the confidence to try!! ✌️😁
my husband just made these and it was terrific! Better than anything store bought for sure! i've made tortillas with veg oil but it always hardened up - these stay soft and flavorful. thank you for sharing!
We tried this recipe and they came out amazing for our first time! We used a tortilla press instead of rolling them out so they were a little thick…But this recipe works amazingly so Thank you so much!
I grew up in AZ and this brought tears of joy to this old mans face! Ill be passing this on to my Slow to Learn Cooking daughter = ) 20 Yr Army Vet with two tours to TDC South Korea as well,. Thank you .
Thank you for your service vet!
Thank you for her service!!
Oh yes...I remember well the Mexican women would come across the border to sell their delicious green corn tomales in Tucson. Our back yard was against the airforce aviation storage field of planes. Even then some people turned up their noses at these women and children...but we welcomed them and brought all we could afford.
My granddaughter is a combat medic in the Army. God bless you and your daughter for your sevice to our country. I miss the old Arizona....have not been there in years.
Thank You so much for your service !!!
Can you use you dough hook to knead it? Especially if you are making large quantities.
My mom was never able to teach me how to cook, bake, or do anything lol but I always get online and look for recipes. This helps a lot, thank you 😍
Gabby Barce sameeeee 😩 my mom stopped cooking when I was really young. She used to cook good too 🤦🏽♀️ but I’m so glad we can easily look these things up and learn 🙌🏽
Same
@@cyndelsol yes girl! Thank you internet lol
My mom too, and my grandma is getting to old to teach me, glad I can look recipes up tho
SAME!!! 😅
Made these for my family last week, I made 2 batches (instead of doubling in one bowl) and I'm glad I did because we ate them all and I'm making more this week! Thank you for sharing this recipe and making this video. The learn best by watching someone make something before I do it! (Even my picky eaters ate dinner because they loved these tortillas!)
This is perfect video ! I just made it and it came beautiful. My husband bought the wrong flour so i made it with wheat flour . I did exactly what she said and my tortilla was soft and pliable . My first time was a disaster i tried to do it with other tutorial i was fooled lol but anyways thank you so much for this! I wish i could show my pics and i did video too😍 guys this video is right one to follow ! Dont hesitate👍🏽
crazy reading how many people have so many precious memories about tortillas lol. food really is culture
It really is ;)
Once you have a real one made from a grandmas hands youll get it. Any memory is suddenly special when you add a home made tortilla. If youre at a friends and she offers you one, take it and move out the way haha! Shes got a ton more to make. Smear a lil butter or some honey on it.
@@miguelmarquez4192 ur lucky by having such a nice grandmother. My Grandmother, mother, father knows only how to boil potatoes, cook a meat with salt and put a butter on bread. thats the end of their knowledge... learning from scratches everything by my own... have a nice day
@@miguelmarquez4192 Yes only a lot of butter and sugar. Had those as a kid growing up (made by people from Mexico) and they were sooooooo good.
Indeed it is 💯💪
Watching this brings back memories of my Nana making tortillas every morning for the family. Believe me when I say I know exactly what your kitchen smells like with the chorizo, and tortillas cooking. 😊 thanks for the blast of nostalgia.
I just want to say thank you for this recipe. The first time I made them, they came out perfect! I'm making them again. They are that good! Brought back memories when my mother and grandma would make them early in the morning and wake up to the smell of homemade flour tortillas with butter and at times her homemade chili. Yum! Now, I get to share this recipe and make them for my kids, my family. Gracias! God Bless!❤
This is hands down the BEST tortilla recipe I have ever used. Thank you so very much for posting it. Made them twice already and both times they have come out excellent. Soft, chewy, and with great flavor.
My wife can't eat shortening due to an allergy so I grabbed some lard by Manteca and they came out stellar.
I know this was a year ago, but how much lard did you use? 3 or 4 tablespoons?
I will never buy tortilla ever again! This is awesome! I just made them and they turned out beautiful and so soft. Thank you so much for sharing.
Mine came out hard and didn't bubble up while cooking any advice
@@brittanydonaldjones3490 I'm not sure why yours turned out hard and didn't bubble. Perhaps you didn't knead them long enough. This was my first time trying and they came out so perfect I made another batch. Just keep trying and take your time. Good luck
@@brittanydonaldjones3490 btw, I made a sourdough the other day. I followed the recipe and it was black on the outside and raw in the middle! So don't feel bad it happens to us all. Keep trying till u get it! 🤣
Theresa, I just want to say you are sooo nice to encourage Brittany like you did. 😊
I made these last night and they were pure perfection!!! Just follow her simple steps and its a no fail!!!! I found that it seems kneading is key and it seems like the dough wont get smooth but it will you just have to keep on working with it like she says! This will be my go to for forever!❤❤❤ 10/10
😊💖
Diamond Nichelle I tried making these all day and they didn't come out. They didn't bubble, they were flat and they were crunchy.
Diamond Nichelle I used bake rite shortening so I don't know if it's the shortening or what. I'm so frustrated they won't come out right. I make the dough perfect and everything was measured fine. They also have no flavor. Fail
Brit Brown , I think all I had was the great value brand of shortening and it turned out just fine. I literally did everything the way that she does it, step by step. I also know when I've tried to make them in the past that I didn't roll them out thin enough and that can cause them to be too crunchy. Also with the taste, just add a bit more salt and I've found that it does make a different. I really hope you try again and can get them to work because I promise you they are amazing and she has given us great recipe!!
Brit Brown , also a big factor is make sure your cast iron is hot enough, it really needs to be just right in the middle range of heat. Mine takes about 5 or so minutes to get hot.
Oh my goodness! Just made these tonight and they were amazing!! I also enjoyed mine with some eggs con churrizo and chile colorado. Definitely brings back fond memories of Sunday morning breakfast 😋
I have tried a dozen recipes for tortillas. This was the first with the right flavor and texture. Thanks!
TIME TRAVELER HERE....
30 years later can still taste and smell mom's tortillas (unforgetable mom) she would make those every day (need one bad)
And yes, some older people hate to see a younger one master and surpass the older generation's way.
You rock lady.
Miss mommy !!!!!!!! 😣
My wife said, these are the best tortillas I ever made. We moved from California to Australia and have no tortilleria in our area. I'm kind of glad we don't because we had to make our own and they are so much better than any of the package brands we buy. But I could never get them as soft as my friends mother used to make.
With your video I am making them much better. Not as skilled as you or Mrs. Rojas, but so much better. Thank You
That's so Great! Thank you for your feedback. 😊
Awesome! I'll be trying my first batch ever. Glad I came across this video.
Trying this out tomorrow, with some pork carnitas. hopefully I get them as half as pliable as yours
Love this tortilla recipe. My son and grandchildren live in Australia, in Melbourne there is a store called El Cielo, they carry some Mexican products. Though I'm unable to find green chile (New Mexico hatch chiles). I spend a lot of money sending my kids Mexican products. My suitcases are full of products, extra weight is a lot. Oh well, it's worth it.
Yeah I've made this recipe and it's great as done in the video, just so you know if you don't have vegetable shortening you can also use butter (or margarine), or even lard. I usually use butter because I like the taste.
in mexico they use lard
My Grandma used Armour Lard. Her tortillas were the best!❤️
Oh Thankyou !! That was my question lol
Can I use veg oil? That’s all I have right now.
@@lisapineapple not sure but why not give it a try? Let us know how it turns out!
Made these tonight and my family loved them…and were impressed. I didn’t roll the first one thin enough and it was thick and stiff after frying. I rolled the others out super thin and they turned out perfect. Even with nothing on them they are so tasty. Thanks for a great recipe.
And you’re right about the sticky dough at the beginning, I was thinking it was too wet. Kept kneading it and trusted the recipe.
My mom used to say when they bubble while cooking they are very well made and perfect!!
S Martinez yes! that's what moms and grandmas always say, !! 😊
I agree!
S Martinez in an old Mexican wives tale my mom said if it inflates it means you're getting married lol
S Martinez
That's what my grandma used to say also.
This is the right way to make tortillas! A lot of people cut corners by not using shorting and by not putting in the extra work to mead the dough for a good while. When you make them this way they have a texture of a fluffy light biscuit and the tortilla is sooooooo soft because of the lard and the proper working time of the dough...a tortilla like this with just butter and garlic salt is heaven!
Thank you! 😊
Thank you for making this video. My mom never teaches me how to cook, and my father explains stuff in a complicated, in his own taste, way.
Awesome video! You are a great teacher. I really learned a lot from the real time cooking! Some of them got huge some not so much.
My granny showed me how to make biscuits when I was real little. She was a great too, thanks for the happy memories!
And the reason you get 14 is because God is blessing you for honoring your grandma. 🥰
Hello Everyone, I want to take the time to thank you for all the love and support of this video.
Recently I had the comments disabled because the negative vulgar comments were overwhelming. I also wanted to say that if your tortillas come out too dry, the dough is too sticky or they don't come out soft then peruse the comment section for tips or check the description below this video. I have answered to the best of my ability and the answers you are looking for are there.
I also want to address some comments that I receive about this recipe or myself.
This recipe is the way my Mexican grandmother made her delicious flour tortillas. I love her flour tortillas and this is why I make them this way. I will not debate on the historical authenticity of flour tortillas or how you may think these are wrong. If you disagree with this recipe...move along. YOU TUBE is a giant universe with many tortilla recipes that may suit your cooking needs. The best advice I can give anyone is to practice. My measurements are not weighed therefore your cup of flour might be more than my cup of flour which may be the reason the tortillas come out drier or hard. It took me years to confidently make a good tortilla. I have eaten my fair share of dry hard tortillas...lol! Good luck, best wishes and happy cooking you guys. Keep searching for your perfect tortillas, share them with the ones you love and make lasting memories the way my grandmother did for my whole family. 💖
Gochujang Mamá Rolling that dough like a pro, Sis!
💞🌯💞
People suck especially mean ones! You keep on posting videos!😊
Hi i would like to know can we store this tortilla in frezeer? It won’t become hard and dryer?
Gochujang Mamá zz
Just made these and doubled the recipe. I never got these right before because I always added extra flour. They came out delicious and soft. Thanks for this!!
Moms7er ! They look kind of thick. ?
I have tried quite a few flour tortilla recipes but this is the one that I keep coming back too. Only change I made was more salt as my husband’s last words are always add more salt 😆 in almost everything I make. I love this recipe!! I can’t help but to eat a few as I’m making them and haven’t bought any prepackaged since! Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe ! ❤️
I did this while watching your video and they came out perfect. I have tried many recipes and they never come out right until now. Thanks for sharing this. I can now make awesome tortillas!!
You really just gave us the family recipe... may God bless your heart ! 🥰❤️🤞
I appreciate you showing the full kneading and cooking process. It's really helpful to see the whole thing without skipping bits. Great video!
I want to say thank you for your easy recipes. I also want to say that I can hear the love and sincerity you have when you are speaking to your audience. The love that you have for those recipes that you are sharing from your loved ones warms up my heart. I bought your cookbook I got tired of printing your recipes 😆.
Thank you for this. I never paid enough attention to how my grandma made the tortillas, so this really helps. I can't wait to make them.
This will be my first time making homemade tortillas and you’ve been so helpful!! I feel much more confident having watched this rather than just following a recipe
kaitlyn wade same! It was really helpful!
Y’all when I tell you I’ve been practicing my flour tortillas forever to no success with them being hard and crunchy not how my grandma used to make them. This recipe is the closest I’ve gotten to perfecting them. I think a few more tries with this recipe I’ll perfect them! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! ❤️
Hey tino mines did too... I just saw my mistake on my measuring cups. I used to much shortening that's y they come out hard.
I have tried to make tortillas since I was a teenager and they always came out hard and with this recipe all I can say is WOW! Thank you so much. They came out perfect! I am super proud of myself and I am currently referring this video to all my friends lol
Baking powder makes pretty much all types of bread less hard and more fluffy
I've made these 3xs, they are perfect, delicious. Thank you for sharing.
I'm going to give these a go in the next couple of days, but I wanted to say, your voice is so clear and easy to listen to. Don't change your style of speaking to be like a lot of the other cooking channels, please!
Oh, also, I'm a lazy baker (I put these in the baking category because you have to measure lol). Can this be done in a stand mixer with the kneading hook or does it really need to be kneaded by hand?
Thank you and thanks for the feedback! 😊
Yes it can. Use the dough hook attachment and set it to a medium speed. Let it go for 15 minutes. Then cover with a damp cloth and let your dough rest for 15 to 20 minutes. 😊
Thank you David! 😊 Grandma's are the best! Being in the kitchen with my grandma are some of my most cherished memories.
Helo from Brazil... I remember having tortillas in Toronto CA when I was a Child, now I want to make them for My children, love how simple and easy you make them, but I have one question, Can I make them with olive oil or sunflower oil, because we are vegetarians. BTW you have a great voice.
Cheers and thank you for the great video.
I thought the mixing bowl was a colander and didn't understand why it was not falling out. Then I realized it was just an illusion. 🤪
PhantomPanic thought the same thing lol
PhantomPanic Me too😂
Lol yep got me I was trippin for a bit
PhantomPanic same! Lol
Me too... 😂💦 []_ ([]) []_ 𝕃𝟘𝕃 Ḻ0Ḻ...
Ive tried almost every recipe and this is my go to. Sent to my mom and my sister ! Looove it! For anyone who is like me and cant understand why they keep getting hard...it's teaspoon not tablespoon...and there is a difference that makes all reason...lol love this recipe!
I usually use prepared flour to make tortillas. I followed your recipe, and tortillas came out very soft and very good 😃 ! I now will continue to make dough like this 🤗
These remind me of my Mamas. She is in heaven now, and I’d forgotten her recipe 😪. I think I’ll use yours, as they looked just like hers! Thank you Gochuchang Mama!
Sorry to read about your Mama's passing. May she rest in peace. 🙏💜
Sorry about your mama...I'm going to make these when I have Grandma Camp!!! My four year old will love making these and the other four will too.
I made these while talking in the phone with my aunt. Super easy!!!! Thank you x1000!!
Enjoyed the video, they came out great, reminds me so much of when my grandma would make them, brings back memories.
BTW, in case anyone is wondering, you can substitute vegetable shortening for vegetable/canola oil, same measure.
Really!? And here I was bummed out cause I don't have shortening and too broke to buy some ...thank you so much I'm about to make flour tortillas!😁
ok
I've been watching your videos all morning. This video made me realize I've gotta subscribe. Such a good tutorial! Anyone who can explain the whys on anything bready has my vote! I used to live in L. A. and a neighbor made homemade tortillas every morning - she was originally from Honduras and had been making tortillas every morning for 47 years at that point . Your tortillas and your technique look just like hers. Great video - thanks very much.
I want to tell you thank you so much for this recipe! I have been looking for the right combination for YEARS! I have made different recipes over the YEARS and my tortillas would end up getting hard after letting them sit. I love cooking and baking from scratch, so making good food for my family is very important to me. I think some women don't want you to make tortillas as good as they do... now because of you I make excellent tortillas! Thank you from the bottom of my heart this has made me so happy!
Thank you so much for your kind words! Best wishes! 😊
Omg girl I've got to tell ya I just made the best tortillas ever!!!! This is my third try, first with yours.I searched several recipes because I wanted "real ones" that resembled my Mommas and when I saw yours they seemed the closest to hers. Now I know they were the closest. Ofcourse she never measured anything and she spoiled us so much she made everything for us. So we learned what we do know from watching, but not everything obviously. So thank you and Grandma for your recipe. Btw, your tamales are also almost like my Moms too. Thanks again!!!🌹🌹🌹🌹

Lo
I'm from Mexico, and must say that is not the right or original way to make a tortilla
@@PSICASIRA if you're going to comment with that, do share what the "right" way is in the same line. Or simply describe what is different in the way you know them.
I'm beyond grateful to have found this videos today. The last two days I've tried to make flour tortillas and its been a fail. Watching this gives me hope 😁
I love that you explained what type of texture you are looking for- awesome video!
i have to tell you, after following your recipe and making these about 5 times, i finally feel confident in making these tortilla's for family! Everytime i make them they get better and better! Thank you so much for being such a wonderful teacher! i've been trying for yrs and yrs to be able to make tortilla's just like my gramma made. Because of you, I'm nearly there! yes! they type of flour used makes a HUGE difference too! King Arthur's ( which just so happens to be my dad's name) works best for me! I also use Lard instead of veg, shortening. Thank you also for the example of the elasticity needed for soft tortilla's... as well as the supple dough... that really helped!
oh one more thing... since learning how to make tortilla's from your video, my hubby said there's no reason to ever buy tortilla's from the store again! heheehe... now that's just about the best compliment a woman can get for her cooking! :)
Thank you so much! 😄 I'm so glad you like the recipe.
I just made these tortillas.... my whole life I've always had hard dry tortillas that cracked when I tried to fold them. Im so proud of myself on this success i felt like giving up after those 10 minutes on kneading but it has to be done. THANK YOU SO MUCH Gouchujang Mama
Thank you! Yes, the kneading is a workout for sure, but so worth it. 😊
Simply Mamá Cooks pls how many days can it last
You and your recipe are so wholesomely genuine. Thank you so much for sharing your (and your Grandmother's techniques!) with the world! I'm definitely going to be making these instead of store-bought as often as I possibly can.
Thanks for this recipe and technique. For those who find their tortillas hard I have found that after they come out of the skillet if you put them in a plastic bag (I have a reusable silicone bag that use) they will steam a bit more intensely which I think really helps with the softness.
I put mine between 2 plates and they never loose their softness and tenderness .
@@dandana4647 thanks! That’s very easy! Good idea!
Thank you! Everything; the presentation, the clarity of instruction, the no-frills setup, all of it was excellent. You're really an excellent teacher; I only had to watch the video once to understand how to make these, and they turned out great!
Yes, I agree on the no frills set up, some people do go on forever,
PERFECT tortilla recipe! I tried this for the first time and was so amazed at the softness of these tortillas! Thank you so much. Be healthy. Be brave. Be free and blessed
This our go to recipe! This is the one that makes soft tortillas just like our gramma Margie’s! She just passed, and now I can’t thank you enough for making this video. Love and all the same details🙏🏼♥️🎵🌶💕🥲😭🎵😇♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️👌🏼🥰
6 Million families have been touched by the traditions of your family and grandmas heart. Thank you.
I love your voice. It's so sweet, clear, and comforting.
Thank you! 😁
Gochujang Mamá Before cooking the tortillas do you grease the pan?
yolanda romero ...No! Dry, 'seasoned', but dry!

Veronica Medina .....?????..
Honestly, this is the best recipe. It's exactly the way my mom makes them, and just as soft and fluffy. I am going to try to make some this week. I'm excited, lol.
I would love to try this recipe, I’ve been trying to make tortillas like my grandma with the ready “white wing” flour and I just can’t get them moist like this! And she was a pro! Thank you for sharing!
This is the third recipe I tried and it works the best for me. The key is not using too much flour. Thank you!
Your flour tortilla recipe is exactly and perfectly what I was looking for and I am so grateful to you. My grandmother learned to make tortillas from this Mexican family she met in the 1950’s and I loved her tortillas and loved the neighbor that taught my precious grandmother. They were so delicious you could eat them alone, with nothing else just delicious, chewy, tortillas. Wish you were my neighbor too! God bless!
Ok so I'm so proud of myself !
Made these for dinner and they were darn near perfect!!!
Thanks again for this video!
WOW WOW WOW I have never tried to make my own, but now I totally want to. Those look amazing and they'd be good for so many things.
Trying these tomorrow! My sister tried to make some yesterday, but we have not been making them right. I will try to make them with her again tomorrow. After watching this video I am confident we can make some nice soft tortillas de harina. 😍
I’ve tried others and I ran across your tutorial video and I’m making them this morning. Wish me luck. I have a feeling this is this one. Great tutorial btw.
How did they turned out? They never work out for me 😞
Bernardica Vučić Zgb perfect just like she showed us.
This is like my mother made them, including how the dough balls are made and hanging the first 2 or 3 over the side of the mixing bowl. Love it!
I 💜 Your Channel! I’ve been making tortillas all my life and I always smile to myself as I remember how my Abuelita’s hands looked while she did it. However, this recipe bumps my tortillas up to a whole new level with their pliable softness! Mahalo nui from the Big Island of Hawaii!
I put in a search for flour tortillas and yours came up first. I was going to check out one that was a bit shorter but I am so glad I did not. This video is so helpful. My tortillas have been rough and un-pliable, edible but not that good 🙂 I am going to give your method a try. Thanks so much for posting this video
Ahh finally success making the tortillas. Your new way of explaining your recipe paid off with fluffing the flour and such and kneading in one take really helped.. thanks so much. No more nasty store bought tortillas.. yay
alsjka I’m not even hispanic and even I knew store bought tortillas are gross and seem stale!
These turned out perfect! My family lives in AZ and I in Chicago. My mom tried to help me over the phone but your way was much easier. I've done them at least 6 times and best part is that I use my kitchen-aid mixer and makes the masa perfect! Thanks again
Just loved this recipe!! Tried so many and yours was the Best! I've been making them for a whole now and all my family loves my tortillas🥰 thanks for sharing all your delicious recipes 😋 👍
