My family LOVES tortillas. Because one of our New Year’s resolutions is to cut back on pre-made/pre-packaged foods, I went on a hunt to create a fool-proof flour tortilla recipe. This recipe is perfect for burritos, wraps, taco nights, and so much more.
With this step-by-step recipe, you will get 12- 10” tortillas.
Ingredient
- 4 cups AP flour or whole wheat
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup butter
- 1 + 1/3 cup warm water
Directions
Step 1
Slice butter into cubes and place butter into 1 cup of warm water. Set aside to allow water to melt some of the butter.
Step 2
In a large bowl, add flour & salt. Lightly mix then pour your butter water into your flour mixture. Mix until water is mostly incorporated. Slowly add additional 1/3 cup of warm water to mixture as you knead until all incorporated and smooth (about 10 minutes by hand) .
Step 3
Cover dough with tea towel & let rest for 10 minutes.
Step 4
Split dough into 12 equal potions, roll into balls and cover.
Step 5
Roll each dough ball out to a thin 10” circle in diameter.
Step 6
Get a cast iron or non-stick 10.5”+ pan hot.
Step 7
Place one tortilla on it when the side has bubbled up, flip, and bake until the other side has browned and bubbled. Place in a towel and cover to keep warm, and repeat until finished.
Serve hot and enjoy! You can generally store these for a few days in an airtight ziplock at room temperature.
