🌮 Easy Homemade Soft Flour Tortillas
Soft, tender, and full of flavor – the best tortillas made right at home! 🌯✨
📝 Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 🌾
- 1 tsp salt 🧂
- 1 tsp baking powder 🧁
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil or melted butter 🧈
- 3/4 cup warm water (adjust as needed) 💧
👩🍳 Instructions:
- Combine dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder.
- Add wet ingredients: Pour in the vegetable oil (or melted butter) and warm water. Stir with a wooden spoon until a dough begins to form.
- Knead the dough: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 3–5 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour; if it’s too dry, add a bit more water, one tablespoon at a time.
- Rest the dough: Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes. This helps make the tortillas soft and easier to roll out.
- Divide the dough: After resting, divide the dough into 8-10 equal portions, rolling each portion into a ball.
- Roll out the tortillas: On a floured surface, roll each dough ball into a thin circle about 6-8 inches in diameter (you can make them bigger or smaller depending on your preference).
- Cook the tortillas: Heat a cast-iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Place one tortilla in the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute on the other side. The tortilla should have light brown spots.
- Keep warm: Stack the cooked tortillas on a plate and cover with a clean towel to keep them warm while you cook the rest.
- Serve: Enjoy your soft, homemade tortillas with your favorite fillings or as a side with your meal! 🌮
💡 Tini’s Tip:
For extra softness, you can brush the tortillas with a little melted butter as they come off the pan. If you want to store them, place them in an airtight container or zip-top bag once they’ve cooled.
These Soft Homemade Flour Tortillas are incredibly versatile and easy to make. Use them for burritos, tacos, wraps, or simply as a side with your favorite meal. Want to get creative? You can add a little garlic powder or herbs to the dough for added flavor! 🌿🌯
