These are truly the best homemade soft flour tortillas. These come out so chewy and pliable which makes folding them into a taco, so easy. This recipe makes 16 tortillas and only takes about 30 minutes. Plus, we had all the ingredients on hand and now I don’t think I’ll ever run to the store to buy tortillas again!
Ingredients:
4 basic ingredients you most likely already have at home! Flour, baking powder, oil, and of course water.
Step 1:
Measure out your flour, baking powder, and salt. Add to bowl and combine.
Step 2:
Add in your oil and combine well
Step 3:
This is the important part! When you add your water, you want it to be as hot as possible, but not boiling. This will help to soften the dough so it will be easier to roll out.
Step 4:
Once the water has been pretty mixed in, begin using your hands to fold in the rest of the dough.
Step 5:
Transfer to your counter with some flour on the surface. Using your knife, divide the dough into 15 sections.
Step 6:
Roll each section into balls and place a towel over to rest for 15 minutes.
Step 7:
Add a little more flour to your working surface and use your rolling pin to roll them out into little tortillas. Don’t try too hard to make them perfect circles! The organic shape of them is what I truly love about this. Really gives it that homemade feel.
Step 8:
Add a bit of oil to your pan on medium heat. Once your tortilla has bubbles forming, go-ahead and flip now! I waited about 60 seconds to flip each tortilla.
Step 8:
Stack up the tortillas and serve them while they’re hot! Thats it. These homemade soft flour tortillas recipe made me 16 tortillas. Use them for quesadillas, tacos, or make bigger balls and form them into burrito tortillas. One thing I also want to do is cut the dough up into triangles and make them into chips to dip!
