Thank you! I have been meaning to do this for quite some time. I finally got to it. 😊

[@mrsgreen1653]

I really appreciate you not cutting away, I am definitely a "go by feel" kinda cook (must be latina thing) and it makes much more sense to see what it should look, feel like and not just read a recipe and see the final product! Well done. I going to give a try! Fingers crossed.

¡Gracias Tía! I’m a young Latina and spent most of my adolescents raised in white foster families, so I’ve recently been trying to teach myself how to cook and learn these recipes that I missed when I was younger. I’m so grateful for these videos like yours to cook along with and can’t wait to make more recipes!

Your video brought up a fond memory. My dad was Hispanic, my mom was not. When I was a young girl, they got a divorce and eventually my dad remarried to a Hispanic woman. She could not speak English, and I could not speak Spanish. But when I would visit my dad every other weekend, and we'd have dinner, she always had homemade Tortillas, beans, and then whatever meat, etc.. I always ended up making them into a few burritos, even if it was just the beans, cheese and sometimes meat. One weekend, while visiting, she asked my dad to ask me if I didn't like her cooking because I was always making bean and cheese burritos. And I laughed and said No, that I loved her cooking, and it was getting the homemade Tortillas and beans that was a delicacy to me because it wasn't something I'd get at home. Don't get me wrong, my mother was a great cook, but since she wasn't Hispanic, this wasn't in her reproirtoire. Sorry for the ramble, new to your site, but it brought up a memory I hadn't thought of for years. TFS

Haha! My sister is just like you in a way. It didn't matter what was cooked she had to make a taco. Lol! Good memories. She is still like that to this day. 😁

Hi! I don't usually comment on videos, but I just have to say I think you are amazing!! Your kids and your husband are so lucky to have you. Your style of cooking remind me of how Grandmas used to cook everything from scratch. I love how you are not wasteful and the way you patiently teach us all with your tips and advice along the way. I have just recently discovered your channel and I have suscribed!! Thank you so much for sharing your recipes and skills with us all. You are a beautiful and generous spirit and just an awesome person!!

[@juliefromcalifornia9914]

Perfection! My first time making tortillas. I love to cook and cook almost every day so I decided to expand my skills. I copied the recipe exactly and the tortillas turned out perfect. My husband loved them. Cooking temp was the only learning curve. I used a cast iron on a gas flame. Kneading for 10 minutes was the key. When I rolled out the dough I had no shrinking and was able to roll thin with no breakage. I even draped each rolled tortilla on the edge of the bowl and had no sticking nor tearing. Thank you so much for your attention to detail and easy to follow instructions. I even got 13 with one large dough ball, so should have been 14. Now the tuck/turn motion will take some practice 😉

[@janseeks]

Your SUCH a doll to take the time to shoot this video for us beginner tortilla makers!! I am extremely grateful for you efforts and wanted to say that I liked how you took the time on each step! Often, things go so quickly on demo videos and I have to go back and watch over and over. Very clear and concise and just plain old FUN to watch!! Thanks a million!!

Thank you! It's so hard sometimes to explain all the variables but I really want viewers to succeed. 😁 I hope this helps you. Thank you for the kind words. 😊

I had been practicing your recipe at home, then offered to make dinner at a friend's house the other night. I was so excited to show off my new talent! To my surprise, they had NO ROLLING PIN! (I found out after the dough balls had rested 😣) So...I used an empty 2 liter soda bottle with the label on and it worked! AND I was not familiar with the heat settings on their stove, so getting the temperature just right was trial. BUT! Because your recipe & instructions are sooooo wonderfully explained, the torillas still came out perfect! Everyone was very impressed & very full because they enjoyed the dinner so much! Thank you from the bottom of my ❤ for sharing your time and talents with us! God bless you and your family! Hugs!

Thank you so much! That's awesome how you improvised. 😊

I want to thank you for this recipe. I have tried many recipes over the years and none have come close to my grandmas. I weighed everything and they came out exactly tasting like my grandma’s tortillas. I haven’t had one for over 20+ years but these took me back to my childhood and back to her kitchen. I used to love being woken up by the sound of the rolling pin and the smell of tortillas on the comal. I miss her everyday. Thank you for giving me this to pass on to my grandkids. Have a blessed day

[@RHouse-xd2yu]

I did it!!! After watching the video twice and getting all the ingredients together beforehand, they turned out just like yours! My problem making tortillas in the past was over flouring the work surface and not kneading long enough. By tweeking those two things these turned out soft, pliable and tasted delicious! I will definitely be making these tortillas on the regular! I made mine with butter instead of lard/crisco with no issues! Thanks for being so detailed that was the key to my success! 😊

May God Bless You.

Love the detailed instructions. My best friend's mom made the best tortillas--pretty much every other day. She measured everything in the palm of her hand!

I found your original tortilla video a good while ago. The first batch turned out so well my family begs to make tortillas almost daily. I never had a meal with fresh made tortillas before. Absolutly amazing. I've subbed the vegetable shortening for canola oil. They turn out just as well. My kids love helping. Thank you for sharing your recipe.

Thank you! So glad you guys tried the recipe. 😊

[@jamesgoacher1606]

I know this is from some years ago but with the warmest grateful thanks Mama you may have saved me from a life of Store bought Tortillas. I saw a recipe that I liked which required Tortillas and my practice is to buy them, keep them in the Fridge till they are unfit to eat and then throw them away. But I saw a recipe which looked good and was waiting for the Tortillas - but they didn't have any (On-Line grocery order). So I decided to --- make my own. Naturally this involves a Google Search. Strange ingredient came up Humf. Amazon had something resembling but not to my reluctant cooks eyes, exact. Then your video came up - this one - at last - something understandable and with ordinary ingredients. I do not need Gordon Ramsay quality (I like GR's recipes btw, only the very basic of which I would be able to do) so this I will attempt. I was trying just now to remember what the recipe was I had intended to do (I am mid 70s, it happens often - I think?) - success a Ques- something of other. I am English - what do you expect!!!

[@marbos2091]

You make them almost exactly like my Mexican mother-in-law did! She always used Crisco; said it worked just as well as lard! It must, because her tortillas were perfect, soft, pliable, and delicious! One thing she did different is as soon as she put the tortilla on the griddle, she rubbed it with her palm. She said that helped it puff better.

[@momof2momof2]

I'm a very good cook and baker, but tortillas have not been something I have mastered. I just now ( in Feb. 2022) tried your recipe. And while mine never did bubble, they turned out absolutely soft and delicious ! The dough was so very easy to work with, like satin ! Thank you ! I can now say I can make wonderful, soft tortillas !

I meant I can tell this lady has taught a class in the past. And her voice had a very nice tone kind of like a school teacher. Thank you for the video and keep up the good job.

[@SpinGlitz]

Thank you so much for teaching me how to make authentic tortillas. They're so delicious and fluffy. I did notice in this video you state 384 grams of flour but in the printed recipe it shows 400 grams for the 3 cups of flour. I've done both and the 384 grams makes fluffier tortillas. I am at nearly 1000 foot elevation and following your recipe in this video gave a great result. I missed learning this from my grandmother as we were a military family and never lived close to her. I know she sent you to me...thank you! By the way, I made 14 instead of 12 tortillas. I think it's because we have small hands.

I just saw your "re-make" of original video. You have a great recipe. My problem was always the kneading. I whisked all the dry ingredients in a bowl, then added the shortening with my fingers.

[@krisalasky6897]

You are the best teacher ever!!!! I am a 65 year old woman and have only tried playing with dough when I was 14 and it was a disaster so have been scared to try it all my life.

Hello..i live in a high altitude ares in northern italy and i can say...the recipe worked amazingly for me...i followed the weight measure to a T and the dough is extremely perfect and workable. So i also made your mexican rice ...i gently panfried my onions, then chopped garlic, a teaspoon of cumin and 2 chicken stockcubes until all aromas were released ..i added a quarter cup of tomato passata...and simmered/reduced it down...added it tomy soaking basmati rice in my rice cooker and that too, turned out beautiful....so for dinner, ill open a can of corn, can of black beans..the mexican rice and some sour cream all wrapped in the tortillas for dinner !

Your tortilla instruction is by far the best!!! My tortillas come out perfect every time thanks to you 😘 for those who are stuggling, it takes practice!! And like she says, you want a moist dough, it's about the feel for sure! I've tried to be lazy and use my KitchenAid and it fails every time! Use your hands!

[@kelleystrange]

I tried too in a small batch just to see if it would work. ONE of my 6 tortillas had a bubble the size of the opening of a straw haha. I also tried to use my tortilla press since I had decided to practice on a whim and my counter wasn't wiped down and clean from making other food. Still delicious... but not like yours! I will try your way next time. I have always been more of a flour than corn tortilla fan but I can now say I prefer corn tortillas when it comes to making homemade tortillas for ease of use, simplicity and taste.

[@vickmeister08]

I tried and tried and tried some more to make flour tortillas (5 times to be exact!) and my efforts never turned out. I went by other video tutorials as well as your previous video... I was so discouraged and left it alone for some time. Recently I came across this new video and immediately was excited to try again! I'm so glad I did... I got it right on the first try!!! I made more the next day just to make sure it wasn't a one-hit-wonder and was successful. I made them again 2 days ago, to keep practicing, and was again successful! A little tip/trick for those trying to make them for the first time; knead the dough in the bowl, when the bowl looks "clean" (minimal to no dough stuck to the bowl)that's about the time when your dough is ready ;-) I used that technique I saw on another video and it worked! Lastly, I make 15-16 dough balls, they tend to work out better than 12-14 for me.

[@elsitabebe]

I used Bacon Lard which I had saved, shifted and measured ingredients exactly. My dough I THOUGHT was perfect. I did knead it pretty hard though and probably a bit longer, I made the balls 17of them and let rest for about an hour before rolling them out thin. They never rose not one bit. I rolled out others thicker and barely got a few bubbles Also used a cast iron skillet to heat. I have tried all types of recipes. I just don't know what I'm doing wrong. I didn't use extra flour when rolling out neither, that's how good the dough was. I did let them rest in a plastic bag to prevent drying out, my mom used to do it that way. I don't know if that changes the dough somehow because it may trap in the moisture? I guess I'll try some other day using only a cloth to cover while they rest. It's really disappointing doing all that work for nothing and a waste of ingredients. Keep trying I guess.huh?

[@deborahnarendorf7106]

Yes this helped! Last time I used a press and I don’t think mine came out as thin as they needed to be. Not slowing down the video helped to see how long to cook them as well. Thanks again. I would have never never believed that I would make tortillas!

[@karenpowell4626]

The press us actually used for corn tortillas, not flour!

[@alexdelgado2265]

You are exactly correct about letting the tortilla dough rest on the side of the bowl. I even just let them rest on the counter, if space permits, and yes they seem to puff beautifully! Good video. I was in the restaurant business for 40 + years and recognize when a cook works with love .

I’m over 82+ and these are the very first flour tortillas I’ve made. By the way, since this was my first attempt, I weighed out each dough ball at 50 grams except for the 13th, it was 54 grams. Used my fabulous KitchenAid stand mixer, worked great at making the dough smooth and pliable. Also weighed each of the ingredients in grams and ml. Your excellent recipe is a real keeper. Many thanks for your generous time and kindness. 🙏🏼♥️😎💃🏼💥🎉🎊🎈. I now have enough flour tortillas to last me for almost 2 weeks. I love making one egg breakfast burritos with soft taco size flour tortillas. Yesterday, I made 14 perfect soft corn tortillas, Gave 10 of them to a Border Patrol Agent friend who’s helped me a few times over the years I’ve been here.

[@Redberryfarm888]

Just made my FIRST ever tortilla batch today (from your other video instructions using solid Crisco.) I was glad to have all of your detailed instructions. Mine dough formed and rolled out great - with stretch - and when the bubbles formed on top of the tortillas in my (8") cast iron pan I did a little happy dance. They stayed soft (I had to try the eat 'hot with butter' thing... yes, very good!) and I made up a ground beef mix and these rolled up around the mix easily. Great recipe ~ a keeper. (No more grocery store tortillas here.) Thank you!

[@YAHweh.YAHshua]

After using your recipe, a few times, I've found that through inexperience I didn't work the dough long enough to get it to that elastic-softy-pillowy texture, and the very best result I was able to achieve was using water so hot that it might have scolded my bare hands, and I noticed my dough stayed warm the entire time I kneaded it. The temperature of the water has been, for me, one of the MOST important steps in this process.

[@k.g.8755]

Oh, be careful not to scald yourself! The elasticity of the dough comes from the right amount of kneading. Gliadin and glutenin proteins in the flour come together, they expand and form strands of gluten which we then stretch through motion. Allowing periods of rest for the dough to acclimate after kneading lets the gluten relax and become soft and pliable once cooked. I believe this is what allows her air pockets to form while cooking and giving them that great tortilla texture. Keep your hands happy and have fun!

[@AvaT42]

Bruce, Would you say the temperature of your water is 110f to 115f as for making bread?

[@isurrenderall5544]

The best tortillas ever. They brought back fond childhood memories of our Mexican neighbors teaching me to cook authentic Mexican! We had a lot of fun in the kitchen.

Loved not fast forwarding and enjoyed watching your hands work the masa. With three sisters (I’m the youngest) we had to learn to make tortillas each one of us at age 11. But before that I adored watching my mom making tortillas, she’d constantly say go outside and play your time to learn will come. But it was so comforting to watch her just as it was watching you in your video. My mom specified that I could watch her do it but I shouldn’t watch my older sisters make them so that I wouldn’t pick up bad habits or incorrect details so until she taught me herself my sisters didn’t have an audience. Even though growing up we each took turns every day making them for the family my sisters stopped when they graduated high school. I continue to make them often but I still like watching them being made. My 90 yr old mom doesn’t make them due to her arthritis but she says I still make them just like hers. Watch and learn 🥰

[@mbot565]

Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. I didn't realize until today that you re-filmed it.

We even enjoy the funky shapes, since I can't roll a full circle tortilla yet and we don't have a press. THANK YOU again for sharing a part of you to our family. I always think of you now whenever I make them.

I am aware you posted this video last year, but I gotta say watching this video was so nostalgic it brought back so many memories. My grandma has dimentia and my sister and I were talking last week about the recipe and I remembered the ingredients but not the amounts. So watching you make these feel so happy and made me think about how she used to make EVERY morning before my grandpa went to work. I lived with them for some time and I would wake up and help her because I thought it was fun and honestly I just wanted the fresh hot tortilla with butter before I went to school. So I was the designated ball roller and sometimes puller or roller. My life has gotten so busy having my own family but I would like to incorporate this tradition back into my own children. Thank You for this video

i've been making tortillas on and off for years, i tried your technique and was really impressed at how super soft they turned out. usually when my masa turns out tough, i re-cycle it into impanadas, but with your technique i now get soft, tender tortillas. thank you.

[@feryalali1353]

Mama, I find flour tortillas very similar in shape and taste, except they are a lot thinner, to our traditional flat pita bread we used to have in the home land of the Middle East and the Golf area. As for your recipe and the detailing in how to make tortillas were just awesome and well done. They look delicious, good job!!

I love flat bread/pita bread. I really hope to do a video on flat bread at some point. Thank you by the way! I appreciate your lovely comment. 😃

[@tinahenry2982]

OMG!!!!I made this late last night i have been trying to make so many different flour tortilla recipes and this was one of the best ones I have ever done and I will continue to make these tortillas from now on oh my gosh we practically ate all the tortillas last night love these tortillas I will recommend this to all my friends

[@sandrawaller4344]

Lard makes tortillas or bread way more tender !✔👍⚘

[@Galivantin]

wow! You explain this process in great detail that I am going to try to make flour tortillas again after many years and the local store running out of this product because of the situation we are in. Back in the 80's, I used to live with a bunch of guys from Mexico and they all made their own flour tortillas but were pretty secretive about how they got their tortillas to look like the ones you would buy at the store. Again, THANK YOU!

[@anaramirez4118]

I always use your recipe when I make tortillas. Taste almost like my mom’s. ❤

[@ShellyWellyisbored]

Just finished making these!!! I live at 7000 feet above sea level and the only thing I had to do was add more water- a full ounce to be exact! I have to say that this method/recipe will replace the way I’ve been making tortillas for the last 30 years! Great recipe! Thank you!!!!!

[@crochet106]

Hello I am blessed to have found your tutorials. I'm not a good cook at all, I was a single mom always having to work. But now I can follow your tutorials and cook delicious meals for my family and grandchildren. Thank you so much.

Thank you for commenting. I'm so glad the recipe videos help. I appreciate you. 😊

[@LaadeeV]

I made these yesterday for the second time. First time they were super stiff and I realized how rusty I was at making fresh tortillas. This time I kneaded my dough longer and added a bit more water. My dough wasn’t super smooth like yours until it rested while I got distracted with other things. When I came back to it, it was PERFECT and my tortillas were so yummy. Definitely glad I tried again.

[@diannaa6189]

how on earth can there be ANY thumbs down? This recipe is perfect. Turns out a soft fluffy flour tortilla every time. And she explains it so nicely. I'm a fan. \:-)

[@hex310]

Watching someone kneading dough is very meditative. So is the tuck 'n' turn. Thank you for taking the time to demonstrate.

[@kramnarace]

Best tortillas I have ever made. Your instructions are the best. Totally loving your recipes in Belize.

[@cyn4rest]

Impressive. Thank you. We use to make these about 40 years ago when kids were growing up. Time to do it again. Thanks for crystal clear instructions. I’d forgotten how I made these.

[@rose.m.445]

Hi just want to say thank you for sharing your recipes. My grandmother taught me how to make flour tortillas since i was 7 years old. We make them the same way we are from Texas I've seen other ppl make tortillas with out the baking powder and they add oil instead of lard. To have a great tasty grsndma home made tortilla you have to add lard. Lol. Thanks for sharing your videos and your great cooking talents. Have a wonderful day 💕💕😊

THank you so much! :)

[@dandahermitseals5582]

What a beautiful sight to me. Big beautiful tortillas for burritos and anything else. Thanks for redoing this. ALLWAYS loved watching the women making these. In Mexico city down town on the street there is a shop for tortillas y solar. They have the most amazing one of a kind all one piece hand carved stone cooking device that is round and opened up like a blacksmith"s forge with a head high cone shaped too that is open in the top for a chimney. They burn Mesquite in the base. It is made of porus lava stone. The women stand around with their backs to it shaping tortillas and they toss them like a spinning pizza dough onto the cone to cook. It is amazing. Soy de soul de Tejas. And I have been there many times in my way to Acapulco Dandahermit.

[@swtmuzik1]

So now my only question is.... where can i buy one of those bowls?

[@beverlyfitzgerald7675]

Not exactly like her bowl but similar shape and quality and low priced: Web Restaurant Store, online, Vollrath 4 quart stainless steel bowl for less than $4.00 + shipping. She shops in a Korean style store, H-Mart, in Texas. I tried to find them online without success

[@leesevee272]

@@beverlyfitzgerald7675 Thanks for this info! :o)

[@beverlyfitzgerald7675]

Leese Vee You’re very welcome.

[@nataliewebb2965]

Thank you so much.....my boys love your recipe. We made a "batch"... The to-tos (4yr old grandson) was gone so fast. We deep fried a few,a bit of powdered sugar, nutmeg and cinnamon.... topped with ice cream. It was great. Thanks again for such a great recipe!

[@maddimaxine9345]

I love this recipe! I have never made a tortilla in my life and my mom makes really good tortillas and I moved away and then wanted a recipe I could re-create that wasn’t so hard and this recipe is it! They taste so good and are so fluffy, thank you so much for showing us your secrets and explaining so precisely!! I just made them this morning so I could have breakfast tacos and I love them!!

[@Laura-rv6ew]

Followed this recipe exactly how you explained it... a success! Only one tortilla came out hard and that was because i didn’t roll it thin enough. If it’s not thin enough, no bubbles and it’s too firm. Thank you, thank you.

[@cricketscreations524]

That was my question, 🕺🏽. Thank you for you awesome gift of cooking and sharing it with the world.

[@KingdomMusicCitizens]

You are awesome, Mama! I used to measure my ingredients and then I discovered for myself the power of weighing. I say you are awesome because I see that you care! This us an excellent video. You could have stood your ground with the weights and left those who for now are measuring to figure it out. But you really stepped in and helped. God richly bless you! I weigh, but I found this video so helpful and caring. I will be making the butter tortilla today for my neighbors.💯❤👍🏻👏🏻

You are so welcome! I appreciate your kind words. 😊

[@sandrawaller4344]

Every baker has a different way of kneading !All good 👍

[@elainediaz728]

So glad to get the exact measurements. When I was growing up n I’d get home from school my Mom would have the balls made already and covered. She would say the balls are ready to be rolled( that was my chore before dinner). I can make a perfect round tortilla but not the dough. I love the smell of tortillas cooking. When I’d make the dough, tortillas came out like crackers so that discouraged me from making it. Thank you🙏🏼

[@lolavana1649]

Third times a charm! I'm a 30 year old male on my girlfriends account and needed to say THANKS... I tried 2 previous times and ended up with crackers (which was a combination of too much flour and too low heat i believe) but the 3rd time they were perfect! Thanks for taking the time to make this.

Nice! I'm so glad it worked out for you! 😊

[@daviddenison2097]

Don't forget if want a treat for kids. Instead of cooking on dry skillet u put oil in skillet and fry the tortilla. Both sides. It frys up fast. Then as kids we would sprinkle sugar and cinnamon. Yum yum, with my kids we loved using honey. Very nice. Thanks Simply Mama, I also use your corizo recipe. Love them

[@cherylsigler]

Thank You💞🦋 I will keep practicing*** Mine don't puff up like yours,lol. But I will get it. Funny I grew up watching my mom make tortillas everyday. But were only allowed to watch. As I get older I moved, but first husband didn't like them. Now that I've been remarried my new husband wants me to keep trying. He LOVES MEXICAN FOOD* I do very well with everything else . Even breads. So I will keep practicing.

[@plhartley]

My daughter and I made these today. Thank you so much. This is the first time I have had soft pliable tortillas. I have definitely been adding too much flour when I first started kneading and it was so sticky. Today I stayed the course and kneaded and kept my hands out of the flour! Delicious. Oh I used butter. I did have lard but it was frozen. Now, next goal is to get them round. 😂

[@tjlarson9859]

I have found that when substituting liquid OIL for solid fat (lard, shortening) in the same quantity, it tends to get gummy. I would have to reduce the amount of the liquid oil, maybe 1/4 instead of 1/3 (?) cup. Again, thanks for your tips! I think my problem before was a little too much flour, room temperature water and a tendency to over-work the dough. BTW, LARD RULES!!!

Thank you for this video my wife and I made our first ones they taste great

[@conniedetevis2119]

Your tortillas look delicious! Thank you for making this video and sharing it. Blessings!

[@plhartley]

I just made these again today. Still wonderful, I love the step by step instructions. Thank you! Getting them nice and round is still a goal but they were better shaped this time.

[@8stringmonkey]

My mom has a boleo (rolling pin) made from a piece of a mop handle I sanded down. She has arthritis and its easier for her to use. I was laughing at the part you said how to roll them out even with a bottle. I never could get good ones made until this video. I showed my mom, since her recipe is a handful of this, a pinch of that. She told me to tell you to put foil under your burners ( like I know you personally.) I dont have the heart to tell her how KZbin works.

Lol! That's pretty resourceful with the broom handle. Tell her I said thank you for the tip. 😄👍

[@bam2431]

Too cute

[@kismymailks]

8stringmonkey LOL...You're a good son.

[@dorishehl8458]

My dad made one for me the same way. I still need to practice this recipe until I have perfected it. Each time I get a little closer.

[@dandahermitseals5582]

Thanks mamma. These are the real deal. Im from South Texas and grew up with them. Still one of my favorite bread priducts.

[@estrellitalibrado5091]

I watch your video about making a tortillas at home ..right now I am trying to do your way of cooking it...thank you
