I grew up making tortillas with my aunts just like these in Sonora, Mexico. When I visit my family I will go down to the mercado to buy them freshly made and having been 'cooked' over an open flame on a domed griddle. The smell of the tortillas cooking is heavenly. On a side note, I was over at a friends house making pizza. She had a rolling pin out and I just could not roll it out. My instincts kicked in and I was able to make the pizza dough into a perfect circle using the tortilla making method. I was able to 'slap out' 8 pizzas while they were rolling out one!
This guy is my hero. Patting out by hand without even starting with a rolling pin. The same slapping technique we used at Grandma Tony's back in the 90's to stretch out our pizza dough, but the skill to get it that thin without tearing for chumuth (or tortillas de agua). Thank you sir, someday I wish to have your skill. Man, I miss food in Tucson...
@@Roccolittlechicago Miss you too, brother. And totally missing these ultra thin Tucson-style Tohono O'odham tortillas or sobaqueras tortillas like they sell at St. Mary's Mexican Food.
@ San Xavier Mission on sundays , in the late 1970's, after church services - The food booths their would have fantastic Chili Colorado & refried beans , fry bread and burros de frijoles!!!
damn sucks the younger generation for the most part doesn't know how to do this I knew how to do this when I was 9 started with a rolling pin at 4 mom's made me! but it saddens me most girls nowadays are more concerned with faceback or whatever they just don't care!😞
+Az Native Hell yeah or with some red chilli..the kind where the meat is just so tender meat just comes apart everyone's red chilli is different but that's my favorite..that's the shit right there! Lol
Rosanna Baptisto There are a few that want to learn. I also think it's the parents who lack on teaching their children so I think it isn't that they don't care it's just that they need to be empowered by example. It's possible to have Facebook and be a chemiath maker at the same time the times are different now.
I know right I try to tell my siblings to learn how to make popovers and chu muth but they are just concerned about their social media or what ever although I’m the only kid here who’s really been learning how to make these stuff
Lived in Sells Arizona for 3 years in the 80's. I have been all over the country and cannot find these anywhere else! I went to Papago Christian academy behind the high school. Can anyone send me the recipe for these and the fry bread too? Man I miss Sells, was the best years of my life!
@@jrmyatne I remember playing in the wash when the rains would come in, riding out to the old airport, going to the High/Low store to get a soda..... man, those where the days!
How can you trace your ancestry several hundred years back? I'm pretty sure you dont know you're "aztec" as many of my fellow Mexicans refer to themselves
@@nativevlogs7054 You can be both, dont be so close minded I'm sure you aren't even 100% native. So if one has a Navajo mother for example and she marries a man from Spain, that child Is not a Native American-Spanish descendant or a Mestizo?
I thought only women made the big tortillas like yours. My mother made them like you. I didn't learn how to. How old were you when you started making them? Do you like to make them?
its flour, salt, some lard, and warm water... no one measures it seems like😕.... we usually pour flour in the bowl(maybe around 4 cups or so?), add a palm full of shortening/lard, and add some water to it slowly--maybe a cup of water or so...
My grandmother used to make the tortillas exactly like those... We found out that they make them like this in Sorona, Mexico.. Sooooooo delicious !!

Perfectly rounded edge and see-thru thin. Masterful! They look delicious. Thanks for the demonstration! Now I have to practice.
