FLOUR TORTILLAS / how to make /PERFECT Step by Step ❤

■ If you live in a drier State you might have to use less baking powder and shortening, if you feel them a little hard, then use only 1/4 tsp baking powder and 2 Tbsp shortening...try which works best for you.❤
Tortillas are a sure thing in most Tex-Mex cooking,they are a great accompaniment to almost any dish and are the basis for soft tacos and burritos, and are a must for sopping up. Homeade flour tortillas are superior to store bought, they are rolled with a rolling pin and baked on a comal (flat griddle) one by one. Tortilla techniques can be mastered with practice over time. Five basic ingredients make the best flour tortillas; flour, shortening, baking powder, salt and water, and one of the best tips for making the BEST flour tortillas is to let your dough rest 15 to 45 minutes before rolling. Flour tortillas can be refrigerated for days without little or no loss of flavor.
INGREDIENTS
3 C. All Purpose Flour
1/2 tsp Baking Powder
1 & 3/4 tsp salt
3 Tbsp shortening
1 C. hot water (not to burn you)
■ Depending on where you live, you might have to make an adjustment with baking powder and shortening if they are a little hard on you...use 1/4 the baking powder istead of 1/2 tsp and 2 Tbsp shortening instead of 3...I adjust between Texas and Ohio. ❤

Rachel.. I was 5 years old when I learned to make masa. By the end of the year, my chore after school was to make 1 dozen tortillas for supper, every day! By age 6 I could spin out tortillas like you do now, and they no longer looked like Texas or Florida! Then I'd go to my grandma's and make two dozen for her about 3x a week I loved it, I learned Mexican cooking very early in life, and it served my own family well when I married and had my own children. I'm 73 now, widowed, but occasionally cook for my precious son in law, that loves Mexican food, especially tortillas, beans , rice, carnes con chili. God is good! Once more a great show! Thank you!.

[@robertmadrigal2451]

I'm a 60yo Hispanic male. I once told my mother that I wouldn't het married until I found someone that could make tortillas like her. She laughed and took my hand and led me to the kitchen. She told me that she was going to show me how to make tortillas because I wouldn't find anyone that could make them like her. I never married but you make tortillas like my mother taught me. I may use 2 tsp of baking powder because I like a little more rise in my dough. Great video.

[@joanmariechristensen9429]

I once asked my friend how she made her tortillas so soft and delicious. She said, "If you think mine are good you should try my mother's." I asked what was her recipe. She said, " It's the same, but Mom thinks about her children while she cooks." Rachel, you are lovely. You do cook with love. Thank you.

Being raised with the best home made tortillas anywhere I enjoyed this video also. Most Mexicans I know here in Florida use store bought Masa. All you do is mix it with water and to me it was like store bought tortillas. Love home made ones. They are hard to mess up. basic recipes even if they vary give an awesome result.

My grandma could make tortillas like you , she had a big family of eight kids and taught them to do the same. She then taught me how to make tortillas. But when she died I and stopped making tortillas, making them hurt too much.... but after seeing you make these, the pain went away and I started making tortillas again and I donate my extras to food pantries for homeless people.

My grandma passed away when I was young after being sick for many years and I was not raised with my mother for many years. I never learned to cook Mexican food till late in life. Coming from a family of terrible Mexican cooks I never learned to cook the food of my culture. I had to learn on my own mostly from fine chefs on You Tube like you who generously share family recipes tips and tricks on how to prepare traditionally and properly real Mexican food. You are doing a service to us all we must not let our culture die and there recipes disappear. Thank you.

[@MamaThack]

I did it!!!! I DID IT!!!! I MADE good tortillas! If it were physically possible, I'd do cartwheels! I tried it yesterday and they were like hockey pucks. Dough looked great till I rolled it out. After MUCH thought about what went wrong, I realized they needed to rest again after I made the balls. I don't know if it's because I'm in Northern Utah and it is DRY and high altitude. But today, after letting them rest for an hour between steps... I DID IT!!!! Thank you so much Rachel! This has been a goal of mine for years. I bake bread all the time and just couldn't figure out why I couldn't get these right! Yippppeeeeee!!!!!

[@rachelcookswithlove]

Yayyyy!!!! Try using less baking powder and shortening as I mentioned in the description box and see how that works for you and dont leave them on the griddle to long or they will dry up...not to low heat either, and make sure dough is not dry.❤😘⚘

[@crenkat]

When I was in college, my boyfriend invited me to visit him and his family over spring break. He lived in a town north of Chicago, and his last name was an ordinary American name. So I was surprised when I went into the kitchen and his mother was making tortillas from scratch. I was fascinated since I had never even eaten a tortilla, much less seen how they were made. She told me that she was born in El Paso, Texas, she was bilingual (Spanish and English) and had been making tortillas since she was a child. I wish that I had paid more attention at that time and asked her to teach me more about Mexican cooking. I married her son, but we lived in Georgia and they moved to L.A. so we didn't get to visit again. Thank you for teaching me to make tortillas as authentic as my late mother-in-law would have done.

I find it interesting how so many cultures have created family traditions around bread items. My Granny used to fix biscuits from scratch and when they were fresh out of the oven, she would hand me one filled with a dollop of butter & send me out to play. Fond memories. Thank you for bringing that memory to mind after so many years have passed. Also the little bit if dough you had left that you set aside reminded me of my Granny as well. When she made biscuits, she would have a tiny amount of dough left. She would make a tiny biscuit that she said was just the perfect size for 5yr old me. Gosh, I'm tearing up. Good memories, thank you again. I'm in my 50's & my Granny has long passed, so it's nice to remember those little things that she & I shared. She helped raise me, so we were very close. I love your recipes, just subscribed.

[@meriennelynch4867]

Rachel, I enjoyed this recipe with you because I have been making tortillas since before I was ten years old and my elbows went down into a deep bowl. I made them daily for ten people so they stacked high on the table. We were poor so we ate refried beans and tortillas often and never got tired of them even today and I am 78 years old. Your recipe is the closest that I have ever seen to the one that I was given. I freeze mine all the time and they never stick and are always flexible. Nothing cooks tortillas like an iron grill or frying pan. If you use non stick they seem to shrink back to a smaller size whereas the iron pan causes them to stick a little enough to keep them stretched to the right size. I do not like store bought tortillas. And taco stands never have fresh home made tortillas. If you go to Arizona into Walmart they sell tortillas that probably taste just like yours. But here in Florida the tortillarias (places where they cook nothing but tortillas.)cannot compare to one home made tortilla like you make. I love home made tortillas and home made refried beans not canned. We use a sauce with chunks of pork that would melt in your mouth. And we pour it on our beans. My mother was Polish and her recipe for enchiladas was the best. My dad could cook beans and tortillas he was Mexican born in Texas and went about it the right way and loved this country. Enjoyed watching this.

You’re a GREAT teacher! My mom made tortillas nearly every day and yet I never learned or tried to make them on my own. I was really I was too young I think at the time to pay close attention to the details. So thank you because she’s gone now and I miss those wonderful tortillas. Hers were thin and fully cooked, soft, warm and always delicious! I’ve never had anything come close to how good hers tasted. This looks like a great method and I’ll give it a try. She too would treat us to a sample at the end -sharing the way you demonstrated or making what she called “hard tortillas” for us when she was all done. Those tortillas were cooked a bit longer and cracker like and she served them with warm butter or occasionally with peanut butter and jelly then sent us out to play too. It was just something to make us feel extra special--something we’d always wait for… Thanks for sharing I’ve enjoyed your videos! I will definitely look for more!

I grew up with my grandmother making tortillas and they were the best. I learned recently from my aunt who lived with my grandmother that YOU CAN SAVE PART OF THE DOUGH in cling wrap and then put in a zip lock bag and take out the next day and let get to room temp and make the remainder of the tortillas if you don’t want them all the same day because they are so much better fresh. SHE ALSO SAID YOU CAN FREEZE THE DOUGH AND LET IT DEFROST AND COME TO ROOM TEMP AND MAKE TORTILLAS… I tried the freeze method and it today and it worked great!!!! She said don’t leave the dough too long in the fridge but I think it is great you can do that.

[@jerryinfrontofthings1760]

good morning Christine how're you doing today and how is the family

[@sharonmccallister7957]

Our neighbor Vickie is Mexican and made delicious food. She always made tortillas and tomalies and would share with us. She moved to Nebraska and we moved from Ohio to Florida where we now live. Really miss our good friend who taught much. Sharon and Bill

[@colleenberg5094]

I love your tips, I never thought to put then in the frig and I do make tortillas but sometimes they didn’t turn out so great but now I know why because of the techniques of mixing flour etc. I’m so glad I found you on KZbin. I’ve been loving all your recipes so thank you. I know if I was part of your family I’d love every meal and that’s the truth! 😊

[@mollyhoux2470]

Thank you so much Miss Rachel. I just moved to Central Asia and have been needing a good tortilla fix. Tonight, I get to eat good food, thanks to you.

[@karigranger3120]

I made these for dinner yesterday and they were spot on! My family loved them and the everyday salsa recipe as well.Tasty and nutritious,home made goodness.Bless you dear Rachel!

I love watching your cooking. My grandmother taught me how to cook and make tortillas. I really don't like going out to eat cause you never know what they put in the food. I'm learning new ways to cook with your show ❤

[@meirx7gc]

I loved watching this. The flour Tortillas that I buy are so thick and get so doughy in your mouth. Thanks for sharing the how and the "why" details. It makes a difference😀 for us newbies at this.

[@rachelcookswithlove]

I also have another tortilla video you might want to watch, here is the link.❤️ kzbin.info/www/bejne/pF6veoykaqyjg6c

[@stephaniebennett6875]

I absolutely love watching your videos. You cover everything, which I love, and you do it with such love and encouragement. My mother's love language was food, and she was an absolute artist at cooking. Watching you is very comforting. Thank you for sharing your art.

[@julieparker5029]

I will definitely try these since I've always wanted to make homemade tortillas. Your step-by-step instructions make this recipe very easy to do.

[@georgecharles4311]

Really.... when you are done trying your homemade tortillas hope it will be delicious because I will like to taste from it😋😋😋

I love and make tortillas every morning for my Ranchero eggs.i love watching your videos it reminds me of my mamma. She passed away a few years back. I'm so glad she taught me how to cook like you and her. Keep cooking and I'll keep watching.

[@nancyyanetmaldonado4535]

Not because it’s my mom but she makes good flour tortillas ❤ I asked her for the recipe and she said, I cannot give you measurements just watch 😂 and till this day I cannot make the tortillas like hers. Practice makes perfect so I will keep trying.

[@gracieschott3364]

😂 i hear you that's how my mom showed me just watch & learn, and you put this much see it's easy😅

[@AntonioGomez-lk6jm]

First, I want to say "thank you" Rachel for your cooking video's, you remind me of one of my tia's who does all the special cooking. Now, my mom just passed a couple of weeks ago, my family can tell you she made the best tortillas in the family, she would have to make at least an extra two dozen if not more for outside family members who would come by to get their share when they heard she was making her tortillas lol. With bean and cheese with butter with breakfast or dinner, they were the BEST! It looks like you make them the same way mom made them, it brings a tear to my eyes. Thank you so much for posting this video, if you ever are in southern California, please bring me a dozen 😊😁😋

[@majesticroseperez6902]

Hi Rachel! Last week I made your Posole! It was amazing! All my family loved it ! We needed comfort food and hugs! In two years we have lost five Loved ones to Covid-19 . Thank you for sharing,your wonderful recipes 💕🙋🏻‍♀️ your Chorizo is AMAZING! And today I’m going to make your Tortillas, but I only have butter flavor shortening! Can this be improvised?again Rachel thank you! PS. I Love when you say “My Ron”with such love 💕 My husband and I ,have been married for 47Amazingly Beautiful years! I thank God for “My Jesus “ every day❣️💁🏻‍♀️🦋🙋🏻‍♂️ Lupe and Jesus Perez

[@irmalujan1723]

I made tortillas since I was ten. My sister and I and my mom took turns. There were six of us in the family. We always had to have tortillas ☺️I don’t make them as much now but when I do they disappear fast lol. My recipe is the same as yours. Best tortillas to me ☺️Thank you for bringing up that memory ❤️

[@jocelyn3212]

I love how she explains the process and.the reason why. She's great !

[@glendamcdaniel7287]

Watching you make them showed me what I was doing wrong. I wasn't kneading long enough and letting it rest. My tortillas were coming out looking like all the states. You have saved me because my husband wants breakfast burritos and I don't feel like going to the store to get tortillas. You are an awesome cook and I am going to try your other recipes.

[@lareeweatherman8309]

I love how you teach! You are so loving and kind. You make everyone feel like they can cook as good as you! I plan to try your recipe, thank you for sharing it!

[@jennycabral7247]

I hadn’t heard the word “testal” in a long time. It brought back so many memories of my mom. Love your videos. Thank you for teaching us your recipes. Love your cooking.

[@gingerdurham3741]

I just made these, just now, and they are Fantastic!. I've never made homemade tortillas so I just made half a batch. It was so easy and fast. I will never buy them from the store again. The store-bought ones have a bitter taste to me. These are just like fresh baked bread. My family already ate them all! Thank you so much for making this video!

[@gigimills8310]

Rachel I just made your enchilada sauce , all purpose seasoning and your flour tortillas and then made my beef enchiladas! I followed your recipes,, My tortillas are so soft and pliable! My sauce came out a little salty because I used chicken bouillon instead of chicken broth, I just added more water. My kids ❤ them.

[@marciabradley7660]

I’d go next door and watch my neighbor Rosie make tortillas every morning. I always got to eat one fresh off the griddle🥰

[@carlottaromero7110]

I’ve seen so many videos on how to make flour tortillas, but I’ll say your video is the best. You are so clear and thorough. You made them just like my mom did. Thank you 😊

[@sylviamedina430]

Dear Rachel! This was my childhood! I watched my mom make fresh homemade tortillas at least three to four times a week. My dad would eat them up as soon as she would make a fresh batch!🤣. I loved watching her tortilla making technique. She was so skilled at that!! When I think of my childhood memories of watching her cook anything, I get teary-eyed!😢 I miss her so much! And not just her cooking but everything about her!!❤️🥰 Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes with us! You are so kind to share them with the public!!❤️

[@rowiegrl]

Rachel I got up early this morning to make these for my husbands breakfast burrito and they came out so nice… these are the best tortillas I have made to date! I credit it to all the extra “tips & tricks” you share with us from your experience. I’m in Texas and I feel that little tweak of adding less of 2 ingredients did it. Now if I can only perfect the shape🤦🏻‍♀️😂 I’ll be a happy camper. Thank you so much. God bless you and your Ron.

[@noragonzalez6467]

Thank you señora Rachel I was born in Casas Grandes Chihuahua. I learned to make tortillas when I was a little girl on a wood stove. My grandmother taught me how. It feels wonderful to hear how patient you are with everyone young or old alike. I enjoy watching you cook all the lovely Mexican dishes. Muchísimas gracias!

Rachel, your buttermilk biscuits look amazing. I love the way you explain the process. You motivate me to get moving to make my own biscuits. Your process is simple and rewarding. When you take that bite with jam and the biscuit’s piping hot, I can almost taste it myself, so thank you. You really bake with Love.❤

I can't believe how good of a cook you are and for the few years that I have seen you how can you post anything and be slick about me you don't even know me to say be Respectful toward comments call me stupid or either tell the truth cause I have a right to sit and watch whatever I want but I notice that you was on a sight that said to me please! br Respectful there's know need to lie dear Lord... I'm a Respectful person ❤ and if you have any issues about me lady do it in another way. I raised all of my grown kids and relieved everything that was coming to me so it was you and I truly dislike haters I'm 67 yr/o. Bless your cooking.

[@clarissaflores3102]

I have seen family members make tortillas for years in the Río Grande Valley of NM. I have seen many videos on KZbin trying to help me learn my own way. But you have been the best teacher so far with a final product that matches what I remember. You give great detail and I cannot wait to try again. Subscribing!

Gracias Rachel. I enjoyed your video. I would always help my momma roll out the tortillas and cook them. She would make a 25 lb sack of masa for tortillas. We would keep them in the freezer for the month. They were always soooo soft and playable like yours. Soo delicious. 😢

[@charleshayes2211]

Hi

[@marygarcia6512]

Rachel: I am so happy that I found you on You Tube. You remind me so much of my Mamá and Abuelita. The dishes you make are what I grew up on. I've made many of the dishes that you have prepared b/c my Mamá taught me how to make them. Even though you put your own twist on some of them, they are delicious! I've even changed some of the recipes my Mamá taught me. Change is good. This is how we learn and create new meals by experimenting. I miss my Abuelita and Mamá so much! Your accent reminds me of them both. About the tortillas. This is one thing that I never could get right. I didn't realize that there was a step-by-step technique to making them. Your video helped me understand the "Why" and "When" to making the tortillas as sublime as you make them. I didn't make them right the first time, though. But today, I'm writing to let you know that I have now mastered your technique, and I am so grateful for your instruction. Keep those videos coming! God Bless!

[@dianatorres5663]

I sent my son to HEB to buy flour for tortillas, the kind that you just add water, he comes home with all purpose flour never made those before so I looked you up and and I did them now I won’t go back to the just add water type. They came out delicious. Thank you Rachel. ❤

When you put the 🧈 on the tortillas, you took me back to my childhood. The restaurants in my area didnt serve salsa and chips when Iwas a kid..They served hot homemade tortillas with butter. Then later on they served Chips and salsa and took away the tortillas!😮 I missed the homemade tortillas and 🧈!! Now Im going to make my own! Thanks Rachel!🎉🎉

[@susanmccullough7725]

Thank you so much for posting this video! Strange thing, this popped up on my screen as i was just thinking, "How do you make tortillas from scratch?" my husband and i love Mexican food and i have been making a lot of bean and rice burritos using the store bought tortillas. Much like everyone else during these times, I'm trying to figure out how to cut costs and off the top of my head, i figure that 5 pounds of flour costs less than half of what 4 pounds of premade tortillas. This a significant saving and i love doing the work. Loved your presentation, creo que su es muy simpatica y estos burritos estare mas buenos que los otros.

[@starlight2371]

[@mikef2295]

When I was a little boy in California, a wonderful lady from ensenada Mexico lived with my family. Her name was Rosie. She took care of my brother and I while my parents worked. Nearly every day that we'd come home from school; she'd have homemade tortillas waiting on us for snack. Like your mom, she'd brush them with butter and give them to us and sent us out to play. They were so good. I miss her so. This video reminded me of her. I've been wanting to recreate those tortillas since. Looking forward to trying your recipe.
