How to make delicious flour tortillas just like the restaurants serve. Easy to follow recipe and instructions.

1. Delicious
Home Made
Flour Tortillas

2. Main ingredients (not the wine)
We’re making about 40, 6 inch-sized tortillas for dinner for six, so cut all
measurements accordingly for the number you want to try.

3. 6 cups of flour.
Make a crater in the middle of the flour and add:
2 tablespoons of baking powder; 1 ½ tablespoons of salt; ¾ cup
vegetable oil; 1 cup warm water (to start). Start mixing by hand

4. Add warm water as needed
Keep mixing by hand. For this amount of mix we ended up adding about
2 cups of water.

5. Mix for consistency
Mix until good homogeneous ball sort of like bread dough or clay.

6. Bowl is spotless
Place the mix on flat surface.

7. Knead by hand
Roll and knead until thoroughly mixed and consistent. Really hard on the
hands

8. Finished

9. Pinch ball up through thumb and index finger
Pinch from different parts of the ball of dough. When surface is used,
knead again and pinch the rest until gone.

10. Flatten the Balls
Flatten slightly to about 3 inch diameter for rolling

11. Start rolling with the rolling pin
Tortilla ends up about 7-8 inches diameter. If things get a little sticky add
a dusting of flour to the roller or board.

12. Ready to cook
The placa or pan should already be very hot

13. The Placa
You can use a pan also. The first two or three are to get the temperature
right for the rest of the batch.

14. Perfect
Tortillas start to bubble on the up side and the bottom browns a bit then
flip like a pancake.

15. Start the pile
Wrap the pile in the towel to maintain heat and moisture.
This is a lot or work and you may have to experiment a couple of times. BUT
when using regular, flat store-bought tortillas, we may use half as many for
dinner, with these there was not one left after dinner!
