I have been trying to make descent tortillas for years with mild success. I followed your recipe to the letter. I made them for my granddaughter who loves tortillas. She has been sick with Covid this passed week and not feel like eating that much. After I took them over to her, she texted me "Grandpa Ron these are so good. They're like melting in my mouth. I love your tortillas so much, thank you". Thank you Villa you made my day!

When i watched my mom and grandma make tortillas i never knew they had so many ingredients they learned from their own mothers. We didnt have KZbin back in the 70s and they barely had phones in the 50s. So these recipes have been passed down from generation to generation. Amazing how Mexican culture stays strong.

Your patience and understanding how even a simple recipe can still be daunting for some. You offer other techniques to do certain things which of course is definitely in the back of the minds of your audience. Therefore, you being cognizant this will happen and demonstrating alternative methods is gold. Thank you so much for such a great instruction on making tortillas! I’m going to utilize your methods cause I’ve always wanted to make them. I will now search for an authentic recipe to make deep flavor refried beans by you! I hope you have if not, i hope you read my comment and get inspired to do one! Thank you again!

My grandma made me home made refried beans and homemade tortillas everyday growing up and several times I try to learn how to make her flower tortillas but she never used any type of measuring cups or anything and she passed away almost twenty years a go and ai have not had any homemade flour tortilla scents. I have tried making them several times but I never knew what measurements to use of anything and I've now learned my two biggest mistakes I was making was not using warm water and not working the dough long enough so thank you for giving me back a piece of my childhood. On rare occasions my grandmother would make these gorditas which were basically little balls made out of the flower tortilla recipe that I think she would fry afterwards and then fill up with beans, cheese and what ever else the person eating them wanted. If you know what I'm talking about, I would love to see a video on how to make them because no one seems to know what a gordita is except that it's something from Taco Bell

Tried many different recipes with some good results. Used this recipe and process twice, and both times produced EXCELLENT RESULTS! The best flour tortillas ever. I followed the measures and instructions on the video exactly. The only changes were: 1) I used Crisco butter flavored vegetable shortening along with the butter. 2) Weighed the flour, to ensure dough consistency use 13.5 ounces of flour (which is 3 cups @ 4.5 ounces per cup). 3) I let the dough balls rest for 2 hours - just because it's convenient. Very happy with this new go-to recipe, thank you!!
