[@helenb2504]

I just made this and wow they were amazing so soft and yum yum They melted in me mouth. My honey will eat homemade tortillas! 😊 thank you 4 sharing

[@GuamMamaCooks]

Helen, thanks so much for letting us know. I appreciate you taking the time to share how much you enjoyed this recipe!!

[@Zanedisplay]

What was the last engredients you put in the flour? Is there any alternative aside from bacon fats?

[@shan.sri.]

@@Zanedisplay the ingredients are all in the description, if you missed anything. Also I'm sure you can substitute the bacon fat with butter or more shortening. Good luck!

[@pheidosify]

Real Mexicans don't worry or criticize authenticity and pronunciation. Instead, they're honored that people from other cultural backgrounds have an interest in theirs. Great recipe.

I've been making flour and corn tortillas for 50 years. whether they roll out round or square, if the recipe is good, they disappear. Good job girl. thanks for sharing

[@reinagomez5911]

My boyfriend and I both agree these were the BEST tortillas I’ve ever made with this recipe! A trick I tried this time was to press them with a corn tortilla press and roll them out the rest of the way and it got mine a little more round but they still weren’t perfect. The taste and feel was more than enough to satisfy us! Amazing recipe thank you for sharing!

[@GuamMamaCooks]

Reina, thank you so much for coming back and letting us know! I'm glad you feel these are the "BEST" tortillas you've ever made. :-)

[@ithila6712]

I made these with semi-solid coconut oil, no bacon grease since I am vegetarian. They came out fabulously! Made incredible cheese and onion quisodillas!

[@joannekeryger7909]

+Ithila ...May I ask you, "Did you work the coconut oil into the flour as if it was shortening/lard or other?? I would very much like to try making them with coconut oil. Thank you

[@andrep4805]

Ithila interesting, I'm an omnivore, but when I cook for vegan friends, I've used coconut oil in biscuits. How is the mild sweetness in the tortilla?

[@corrine4976]

Is cheese vegan?

[@lucasa1849]

Raychael Powell . Vegetarian is not eating meat. Vegetarians still eat and drink animals products like milk eggs and cheese. Its a diet. Vegan is when you consume no animals products at all. It’s a lifestyle.

My wife(who by me is the best in making tortillas) and I, enjoyed your video and were interested in your recipe of using bacon fat. An old-wives tale is, that, if your tortillas get big puffs as they cook, its because your mother-in-law loves you. My wife's puff all the time.

[@rides2much]

I just make your tortilla recipe. They came out brilliantly. I cannot thank you enough. I made a couple of mistakes, left a little too much flour on the tortillas before putting them in the pan and there were some burns. Other than that, they tasted great. And when they got cool they were still soft. Could not be happier. Your recipe is a keeper.

[@GuamMamaCooks]

Hafa Adai Melissa, thank you for coming back and sharing your experience with us. I appreciate it!! I cooked bacon a few weeks ago and stored the fat in my fridge so I can make this tortilla soon. Thanks again!

[@nmandine1]

Oh my goodness... YOU ROCK!!!! These are the best tortillas I've ever had. Honestly, I must have tried dozens of recipes before and I have never been able to get them to taste right. You're right, I could tell even before I put the water in that they were going to be different simply by the consistency of the flour, crisco and bacon fat. We had a fajita dinner last night with a few friends and everyone loooooooooved your tortillas... Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!!! :D

Great Video!! My Grandma used to make awesome home made tortillas and as kids we used to eat them fresh with butter rolled up..and my mom used to make them as well and we used to eat them with fresh made refried beans. The best bean burritos I've ever had with cheese. It's been years since I've have a homemade tortilla but after this video...I'm going back to the kitchen old school. Thanks for your tips and of course the bacon fat. : ))

[@GuamMamaCooks]

+hektorlinko Awesome...thank you too!

[@CarrieMtn]

This looks super. Ignore those who complain about them being "square." It's how they taste. You did a great job demonstrating. I hope to make some tomorrow. Did you mention how high the heat should be for skillet and should it be greased? Maybe you did and I should go back and watch again. Thanks!

[@GuamMamaCooks]

Carrie Mtn Carries, use an UNGREASED skillet.....and the heat depends on your stove/pan. Start with just under medium heat, about the 7 o'clock hour on the face of a clock. Adjust as necessary such that the tortilla browns within 45 seconds.

When I was a teen and would help my mom get lunch ready for the next work day(strawberry fields) for her n my brothers I remember my oldest brother saying " don't worry about shape, they're not going in rolling. They just need to b fully cooked" so when I saw u making the first tortilla brought me back great memories. I'm Mexican and feel honored that you're from Wuam and you make homemade tortillas yet I buy them (very, very, very seldom but I do) Thanks for sharing your recipe

[@Fitjazpooh]

So many years have gone by that I have been so in love with tortillas that I buy them at the grocery store every week and not once has it ever occurred to me that I could just make them at home! This whole process is so easy to follow and I ALWAYS have every ingredient listed here at home so I really don't know why I haven't ever made my own lol. Anyway, thank you sooo so much for taking the time to show us this and I will DEFINITELY be making these this week. :D

[@GuamMamaCooks]

Jasmine, this recipe is super delish. I just made some a week ago and it was excellent with homemade, chunky salsa verde, cooked chorizo (fat drained) and black beans. It's great warmed up just as it is.....most especially hot off the cast iron pan. Okay, my rolling is not perfect, but whatever roundish shape it comes out as, it's still yummy and it works. I'm a Pacific Islander, but I really love the bright flavors of Latin America and thus have been more adventurous in the kitchen. Enjoy and thanks for your positive comment!

[@Lovelylittlehijabi]

Just came accross this. I am going try this recipe. I believe it tastes better and its less expensive to cook our own fiod from scratch too.

Hi Lovelylittlelife, those who've tried the recipe LOVE it. It freezes, thaws, and reheats very well!

Hi, I tried Greek flat bread before this but the man didn't give exact measurements and it turned out yuck. You give great instructions and exact measurements so I know this will be yummy. I am going to look for Arab and another Greek flat bread recipe too. Its just less expensive to make my own. I can't wait to make it tomorrow.

[@RioValleyGirl]

I'm from Brownsville, Texas, right on the border with Mexico and was given a perfect recipe for flour tortillas by my Mother's good friend Mrs. Mary Oliveira. Hers is a perfect recipe...However, as I've always used Crisco... I never thought of using the butter Crisco and also the bacon grease! I cannot wait to try your recipe. Thank you!

[@FreakDoll]

I loved your video. My grandmas are from North Mexico and they cook the original flour tortillas (don't bother even reading Mexican comments about you're doing wrong. I guess they're from South Mexico and they don't know how to make flour tortillas they taste like the States.) Well one of my grandmas use Lard to make them (thats the original flour tortilla recipe) and the other grandma use vegetable shortening or butter, so you're doing great mixing all the fats like lard of bacon, butter and crisco it's ok if you use baking powder if you don't use it nothing happens! They taste great with or without. Don't worry if its a square it takes practice to make circles. When my grandma makes the first tortilla she puts butter in it and makes a taco to taste it, yum!. You can grill steaks seasoned with garlic powder and salt cut them in fajitas, cook canned smashed beans with a little of oil and a pinch of chicken bouillon cube, smash avocado pinch of salt and some drops of lemon (that's right! Guacamole!) and if you like vegetables finely cut some onion, tomato, cilantro, drops of lemon and pinch of salt (thats fresh salsa if you add a little bit of green chile very finely cut) Put in the flour tortilla the beans, the grilled steaks finely cut after grilled, avocado mixture (guacamole) and salsa in the flour tortilla to make a great burrito. I hope you like it! I love to share recipes so I'm starting a cooking channel m.kzbin.info

[@GuamMamaCooks]

Sthefanie Valenzuela, thank you for your kind words and for sharing your history! I'm from the northern end of Guam, a very TINY (32 miles long) island. Folks from the southern end of Guam cook some foods a little differently, but whatever the dish, they all pretty much taste the same. Thus, I ignore the negative comments because I realized that some folks just don't know, even from within the same country. I definitely think you should start your own channel and showcase the foods of your culture. Guam actually has ties to Mexico from way back when during the Spanish Galleon trade era. Our Chamorro foods are indicative of the Mexican/Spanish influence. Thanks again for your very kind words!!

[@FreakDoll]

OMG I didn't read before this comment, I didn't know you were from GUAM that's very interesting having common in our cultures. My dad used to make a fabulous Chamorro made with salsa omg delicious. I don't have time right know to shoot but when I do I'm sharing with you so you can try the taste of Mexico.

[@cowboyuphi]

looks yummy. I will try this recipe soon. I really cant understand some of your critics. is there a written rule that a tortilla has to be round? maybe its written next to the rule that says a loaf of bread has to look store bought, as well. I heat my tortillas on the stove to make them crispy. yours are great that way. if these other critics don't like your methods, they can always watch a different video. what do they know? if they knew how to make a tortilla the right way, obviously they wouldn't have needed to even watch this video.

[@hollythomason9013]

I have witnessed two techniques to getting round tortillas. My best friend Paula from Mexico, believes the water must be boiling hot and prepared by hand as hot as possible. There is pain involved. Then after her main dough ball is formed she starts grabbing and rolling some of the dough in balls. After they rest for a bit she pushes an indentation into the balls and when she is ready to roll them, she smacks them down where the air bubble from the indentation makes a good pop. It is a sight to behold, but second nature for her. One technique another lady told me, was instead of pulling from the dough ball the secret was to squeeze the dough where it pushes through your hand like toothpaste and pinch it off. I do not know why, but my tortillas are rounder using this advice. I have not made tortillas very often, but I'm a white girl living in Texas, and I love Mexican food, and learning how to make it. One day I will learn how to make tamales, it is a top secret recipe around here. I am laughed at and told it is much too hard. And one day I must put a video up of Paula making tortillas.

[@GuamMamaCooks]

Tamales are not hard first two times which was about 12 or 13 yrs a Mexican friend ask his mom for me how to make tamales as she did not speak English or very, very little I followed her advise as he translated and to my surprise they were good. I made my own mesa mix as no one had pre mix you can get from Mexican market. They were out so they said. I hope I can still make them. But they came out good. I was surprised they came out good.

[@ChickenScratchSlings]

Thank you so much for this recipe! I have celiac and can't eat gluten. I have tried so many ways to make gluten free tortillas and they were all terrible. I used a gluten free flour blend with this recipe and finally a tortilla that tastes good and doesn't fall apart! I just ate a burrito for the first time in FOUR years! I rolled them out on parchment and then flipped them onto my hand so they wouldn't rip. My little boy has celiac too and he is so excited!

The only thing that I would like to suggest is the rolling of the tortillas, I’ve never seen tortillas that are square. They do look delicious, but I guess watching my grandma make them as a kid, round seems to be the perfect shape for “scooping up” foods such as beans and such. These do look good I must say. We also use lard, which of course thats how we were raised. Good video!

I'm working on it tho. But mine are still very, very good. Way better than store bought any day. But hers look good as well.

[@bonnielee7134]

Great video! I made some tortillas last week. I used butter as the fat. They’re not that hard to make. I ate them warm with butter. The experience in flavor is the same as homemade bread slathered in butter. I can never go back to store bought just like you said. I’ll try them with bacon fat as well. You can also use oil. I’m going to experiment with them all; absolutely yum!

Thank you for sharing your experience with my recipe, Bonnie. I appreciate it! Experimenting with recipes is a great endeavor...you may come up with something you like better. :-)

This is not far off from how my dad taught me, but we use all bacon fat or lard, whichever is handy, though bacon fat makes the BEST. Also he taught me by just scooping the flour with his hand and by pouring the salt and baking powder into his hand and just showing me "like that". Anyways good stuff, especially emphasizing letting it rest, and this pretty much IS mexican tortillas as I grew up eating.

[@GuamMamaCooks]

shhhewolf Awesome!

[@pidunate]

your tortillas look delish! my mother made a thicker more bread like tortilla. i make them now using a very similar recipe except except for one cup of whole wheat flour for increased nutrition. also, the added fiber decrease bloating while staying soft and tender. for rounder tortillas, starting with the rolling pin in the middle of the tortilla and roll up. then back to the middle and come down. then rotate the tortilla 180 degrees and repeat. your videos are great.

[@heatherfonner]

I use a pot lid to cut mine, like a giant cookie cutter..

[@soniaolaguez3399]

Deborah Fonner That's a great idea thanks

[@debbiealtman4572]

Deborah Fonner great idea never thought of that. Thanks.

[@smolbeen3723]

Or like most Latinos use .. a tortilla cast iron press

[@yingyang0704]

Great idea. I've been making tortillas for more than 40 years, they are always delicious soft and puffy but I have never get them round enough. I will try the pan lid..👍👍☺

[@Rickky1971]

Thanks for the idea!!! I made tortillas today and some were all weird shaped or oblong and never thought about using a pot lid, convenient and everyone has pot lids.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@sandragriffin6628]

My older sister lives in Texas. She made fresh tortillas like this when we went to visit. Best tortillas we ever had. Nothing like the packaged ones in the store.

[@angelicahogan8977]

Making them round takes time, practice, and skill. As a teen, I cheated and cut them into round shape using a plate and a knife.

[@GuamMamaCooks]

That is so funny! Thank you!

[@amberslaughter8439]

THEY look delicious. Doesn't matter the shape. Anyone can make them round. Lord!!! Also some people talking about my grandma yada .....well most old school ladies didn't work full time. Mom's these days and grandma's have to work. So if we can even take 1 moment to make something from scratch aside firm the million other things we do, then that is amazing💛

[@GuamMamaCooks]

Thank you, Amber, for your very kind words! You are so right. I probably cook more than most, but I don't get to work with dough and pastry as much as I want.....gotta feed the folks savory foods instead of dessert all day :-). Have a great week!!

[@reinacoffee8557]

Wow, good thinking!!! God bless you for those kind words.

[@GuamMamaCooks]

This recipe (3 cups of flour) makes 12, 8-"inchish" tortillas. I've doubled the recipe before without any problems....just takes longer to finish, but then you have leftovers for later in the week :-) See the link to written recipe under the "About" tab above.

[@edithfejeran6429]

Loved your video and will definitely try making these tortillas.I love flour tortillas, tried making them using coconut milk, not as good though and are somewhat thicker, they are not round lol. I'm from Guam too and thanks for giving some background into our island's culture and history. Definitely will watch your other posts. Thanks so much, Paula and as we say back home, Hafa Adai and Si Yu'us Maase!!

[@GuamMamaCooks]

Hafa Adai Edith, thank you for taking a moment to comment. I love talking about Guam and our culture :-)! Feel free to write again should you have any questions!

@ 2:00 The Spaniards stole the tortillas from the Aztecs before colonizing Guam.

[@maestrojon]

normster1000 and the Aztec stole them from the Mayans before that.

[@redbullattic]

Nope, the Spaniards banged the Mayans, turned 'em into Mexicans, who then gave birth to the tortilla

[@Stormyrevenge]

The Anunaki showed the Myans how to make them a tortilla...yup tortillas are out of this world :)

Hi Paula, thank you for taking the time out to show this video on Mexican tortillas. It was awesome despite the shapes. I am from Guam and my tortillas turned out to look like villages in the island of Guam. Lol! The taste and texture turned out great. My family enjoyed it and that is what matters.

[@GuamMamaCooks]

Great Nancy, thanks so much for taking the time to share your comment. I do appreciate it!!!

[@megane617]

You're supposed to rotate them between every roll. That's how you get them rounder

[@lg216]

the butter flavored shortening is a good idea. Thanks much. Can't wait to make em for barbacoa this Sunday.

[@Sonyitaeva]

Your tortillas are so, um, square. Lol. But they look DELICIOUS! I'm so gonna try this recipe. Cute video! 👍🏼

[@GuamMamaCooks]

+Sonya McAlpine I know, not the best shape :-)....but they are yummy! In fact, I always make a lot so I can freeze them for future meals.

[@Sonyitaeva]

Great tips. I spent my teenage years on Guam. I miss the island and all the food. Yum.

[@GuamMamaCooks]

Sherry Johnson Sherry, where did you go to school on Guam and during what years?

[@realworldguninfo]

very good. nothing wrong with the shape. however, if you want perfect round tortillas you can purchase a tortilla press for around $10.00. very easy to use and makes perfect round tortillas.

[@Vinaymittal1208]

Awesome. This is very similar to what we eat in India. We call it "Roti". You should check out how we make it. :)

[@ednalully]

this are better sorry to say

[@wellnessconnect3368]

SeVeN But it was supposed to come out like naan. When you fuck up a mexican tortilla it is more like Roti. Nothing wrong with Roti but it should not be like it.When it's perfect it is soft as naan and tastes exactly alike except naan is thicker and a much bigger serving.

[@shopgirl8140]

I enjoy hand mixing rather than stirring .. feels great to get into the dough and massage it .. Thank you for sharing ..

[@GuamMamaCooks]

Dough sure does feel good, Cindi. Thanks for stopping by!

[@christopherlozoya9995]

Mexico only had corn tortillas. flour tortillas came with the spaniard conquistadors, Mexico didn't have flour till it was imported from Spain.

[@heythere3780]

the indigenous people had it which is what a lot of Mexicans are mixed with. Go to Mexico and learn their history, stop listening to what another country thinks about Mexico.

[@michaeldenny3472]

Hey There You are so ignorant! Mexico did NOT have wheat until the Spanish brought it over. Corn tortillas were the norm before that. Google it or read a history book! I went to university in Mexico by the way!

[@RedfishInc]

...and Europe did not have corn.

[@davidortega357]

my mom made flour tortillas the old way she used Lard and they came out pipping hot and delicious with hot dogs , Chile con carne , chicharones con refried beans hoot Chile salsa

[@sarahdannytoyoda2641]

I have my dough resting right now. But I did use all the water and my dough was very sticky so I added a tiny bit more flour. I hope they still come out good! Amazing job by the way and merry Christmas!

[@adamchurvis1]

The fat doesn't create steam at all; only the water content in the dough creates steam.

[@Pizza_Rat]

ikr, how the fuck would the fat evaporate...?

[@adamchurvis1]

Exactly.

[@maju7041]

Thank you for sharing! Nice presentation God Bless you and Your Family

[@GuamMamaCooks]

[@MrKErocks]

Your tortillas aren't round because you are using French rolling pin.

[@BirdOfParadise777]

LOL!

[@aprilhunter5347]

Maybe a POLISH rolling pin would be better???

[@cloud.0sharon-teinasagent326]

Kool

[@kitomad7357]

Has nothing to do with the type of rolling pin. It's the method in which they are turned. If after the first roll, they are turned o my 45 degrees or so, roll again, another 45 degree turn they will be round.

[@stevenmartinez5531]

Making round takes a lot of practice.... There's an saying..... No entran rodando....

Thank you so much for using the word "amazing" rather than "awesome." That word has been pulverized into the ground and there's a moratorium on its use for several generations. Good recipe too.

Not everyone is fast ok. I make tortillas but it takes a little bit as I'm not that fast. Have not been doing it long enough to be super fast but mine are soo good.
