Gave it a 5, because same recipe my husband uses and they are GREAT!

Such an easy recipe so delicious and fun to make..

I really don’t know why anyone would ever buy flour tortillas again after making these. They are incredibly easy and so satisfying to make. The tortillas were soft and delicious. I made enough for dinner the rest I’ll use for breakfast burritos which I freeze for make ahead breakfast. Thank you Pati.

Hi, Pati! I am wondering why your recipe does not call for baking powder in your flour tortilla recipe? I seem to recall my mom used that in her tortillas.

Water should be hot, to help distribute the vegetable shortening.

Hi Pati,
My husband and I love your show & all the yummy things you learn to make on your adventures and then take it home & show us! ❤️ I was looking for the Gordita style tortillas recipe but couldn’t find it. You called them chubby😁 and you had smeared the balls with lard & then in flour so they don’t stick. Is that just the standard flour tortilla recipe just rolled a little thicker? I’m also going to try the drowned taquitos & belly button soup next & my husband wants the chile rellenos tacos 😋😋😋

Hi Pati,
I have never cooked supper for my family. I was inspired after watching you cook these on TV to try and make these for fajitas. So the following Saturday I made these with my son, so my wife, who is 8 months pregnant, could get a break with dinner. Well she was surprised how delicious it was. She never thought she would see the day that I would cook dinner from scratch. If I can make these, anyone can. Thanks again for being real on your show by sharing your family stories. That’s why your cooking show is the best.

ok, so I used the butter instead because I didn’t have lard or shortening, and they tasted good but not the consistency of a tortilla. I ordered some shortening in my next delivery to try again 🙂 Thank you though for the easy and delish recipe!

I would watch my mom in amazement in how she would make her tortillas in the same way you did in the video, she did it so effortlessly and fast. I was always first in line to grab the second tortilla she made and spread it with butter just like you did. They were so delicious, thank you for the memory Pati.

Hola Pati, I used to make flour tortillas when I lived at home and we also added 1tsp of baking soda for 2 cups of flour. The baking soda makes the tortillas soft and they come out fluffy. Just a suggestion

I have never made tortillas with baking powder. Tortillas don’t need to rise, they are a flat bread. Baking powder would make them come out with a “biscuit” texture, I would think. Your recipe is perfect! The water in the dough turns to steam and makes puffy bubbles, almost like a very thin pocket bread when I do it right. I never have trouble with them being brittle. They need to be rolled quite thin. Homemade tortillas are so much better than storebought ones. They are totally worth the effort. Love your show!

Hello Pati, I seem to remember my Mother adding baking powder to her tortilla masa many years ago. Perhaps it’s related to the type of flour that’s available now?

this recipe is so similar to mine, I thought to share it. It has all the same ingredients however: I cup boiling hot water, 2 cups flour, 3 T oil, a large pinch of salt. It’s lower fat in case anyone is trying to reduce the calories.

I never, ever comment but I just had to this time. I to have always made my tortillas with baking powder. Today I didn’t and they came out perfect! Both my man and I loved them even better this way. We love them and for now on this the recipe I’m using! Thank you Pati !

I noticed there is no baking powder in your flour tortillas, my mom did about a teaspoon to 4-5 cups of flour. Her tortillas were always soft even when cold and pliable. My mom measured with her hand or visual measurements.

I’m from the U.K. Thank you so much for your flour tortilla recipe. It’s my first time tortilla making. Only had rice bran oil instead of vegetable shortening and it worked well. Huge fan of yours and learning so much about mexican food from your tv programmes, Will you ever come to the UK?

I want to make these, seems so much easier than other recipes I tried. My question is.. Will and how do I keep for later serving?

I was raised to add baking powder to my tortillas to help them rise,and they do and they don’t get hard

This recipe looks great! I was wondering if you can use a tortilla press for these, or does that only work with corn tortillas?

Hola Pati,
I tried making these twice and my tortillas never rise and tend to get hard after a couple minutes, do you have any advice on what I could do better? The tortillas did come out better the second time, but they are still not rising.
Thank you in advance!

I came from a large family,13! Our Mom would make dozens of tortillas to feed us all!
She did use baking powder and lard. Canola oil works well too. What a treat!
I watch your show often. Thanks for sharing Pati .Will try your recipe tomorrow.

Hola Pati!
My nana used to make sweet flour tortillas but I dont remember the recipe. I looked online but they are either really chubby gorditas, or they add things like vanilla, sweet condensed milk, cinnamon and they look nothing like the ones we had. Can you help me find a recipe? I believe they were from northern Mexico and had butter, lard, milk and sugar but I don’t know the measurements.
Thanks!

Hi Pati, I love your shows. My children and I watch you all the time. You inspire me. I’m going to try the recipe but I wanted to ask if and what would you suggest to substitute the lard/veg. shortening with if I wanted to make them more healthier.

I just watched your show for the first time and I loved it. I’m so excited to make homemade tortillas and my husband is too! He is especially interested in the salsa recipe.

Hi Pati. I love your show! You’ve inspired me, I love your enchilada sauce recipe, my family loved it!

My son Sy and I are working on flour tortillas (1st time) the first was too thick, 2nd better & 3rd much better, but they have a strong floury taste, did I use too much flour?

Thanks! Keya

feliz ano,me encanta tu programa,pero donde puedo conseguir las cazuelas ,platos,y utensilios que usas en tu programa gracias

My husband and I, truly love your show! I come from first generation of Mexican descent and many of your recipes are inspiring and nostalgic. I love how you’ve created or intertwined both the American type foods with traditional ingredients and combine such classic recipes into awesome Mexican food that is simple and most delicious. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and inspiring us to cook and create wonderful meals for our families. I have a question, I’ve been making flour tortillas since I was 8 years old and my measurements come from what is learned not measured, haha, however, in your segment on making flour tortillas, your ingredients didn’t list baking powder for leavening the dough? Is it an important ingredient or it really doesn’t matter.

It is always a special treat when I make flour tortillas. I would like to make them in advance for the Christmas Holidays. When is a good time to put them in the freezer? Rolled out, right before I cook them?

Thanks for the great recipe!

Hi Pati,
Your other recipe for ‘Homemade Flour Tortillas’ calls for 1/2 cup lard while this recipe (and your video) calls for 2/3 cup lard. (Both recipes call for the same amount of flour.) So, 1/2 cup or 2/3 cup lard?
Thank you!

Thank you, I got my first smart phone and I found you.finely.

Part, I love your show!im looking for a very old fashion recipe for Mexican hot chocolate, I know there’s some kind of peppers and other ingredients but I can’t find the recipe for it, help would like it for the holidays, thank you so much!
