๐ŸŒฎ Enjoy fresh, soft, and quick homemade flour tortillas perfect for wraps and tacos.
๐Ÿด This recipe uses simple ingredients and minimal prep time for delicious, warm tortillas anytime at home.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 12 tortillas

Ingredients

– 3 cups Flour Provides structure and elasticity

– 2 teaspoons Baking powder Helps with puffing and softness

– 1 1/2 teaspoons Salt Enhances overall flavor

– 5 tablespoons Butter or coconut oil (softened) Adds richness and tenderness

– 1 cup Hot water Brings the dough together smoothly

Instructions

1-First, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl to get everything evenly mixed thatโ€™s your base for a great dough. Next, add the softened butter or coconut oil and pour in the hot water, stirring until you get that shaggy dough texture. Itโ€™s amazing how quickly this comes together, just like in my kitchen experiments that turned into family favorites. Once the dough forms, turn it onto a floured surface and knead for 1 to 2 minutes until itโ€™s smooth and ready to rest. Cover it with a damp towel and let it sit for 10 minutes; this step is key for preventing any shrinkage when you roll it out later. After resting, divide the dough into 12 to 14 equal pieces and shape each into a ball.

2-Now, roll each ball into an 8-inch circle using a rolling pin, being gentle to keep things even. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add a small drizzle of olive oil, and cook each tortilla for 30 to 60 seconds on one side until bubbles appear flip and cook the other side for another 30 seconds until itโ€™s lightly golden. Keep the cooked tortillas warm under a towel, and youโ€™re all set for a delicious meal. For those looking to pair this with other dishes, consider trying a recipe like Mexican chicken and rice for a complete, flavorful wrap that brings everything together.

Notes

๐Ÿ’ง Hot water helps create a softer, easier-to-roll dough.
โฒ๏ธ Resting the dough relaxes gluten, preventing tortillas from shrinking during rolling.
