Homemade Flour Tortillas

We eat so many tortillas in my house each week – we have them for lunches, Mexican feasts and more. Since I learned how to make Homemade Flour Tortillas my life has changed! Homemade tortillas are way better than store bought ones and this recipe is perfect for burritos, fajitas, quesadillas and more.

To make them, you simply need flour, salt, lard and water. Start by making a dough. Once the dough comes together, knead it and divide into balls. The recipe yields enough dough for 8 large tortillas or 10-12 smaller ones. These will keep for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. To reheat, microwave for about 30 seconds under a damp kitchen towel.

To make Easy Garlic Flatbreads, you will need the following ingredients:

Steps to make Homemade Flour Tortillas

1	Mix dry ingredients	2
Place 1¾ cups of flour and 1 teaspoon of salt in a large mixing bowl. Add ⅓ cup of lard chunks and cut them in using your fingers or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2	Add water	2
Gradually drizzle in ½ a cup of water. Stir the mixture with a fork until it comes together.
3	Knead	2
Transfer to a floured work surface. Knead the dough until it is soft and pliable.
4	Divide dough	35
Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces (for large tortillas) or 10-12 pieces (for smaller tortillas). Roll into ball shapes and loosely cover with plastic wrap. Leave to rest for 30 minutes to 1 hour at room temperature.
5	Roll the tortillas	1
Dust a work surface lightly with flour. Roll each dough ball into a thin circle (approx 8-inch diameter for large tortillas and 6-inch for small). Cover unused dough with a kitchen towel until ready to use.
6	Heat griddle	2
Place a griddle or nonstick skillet over medium heat.
7	Cook tortillas	3
Cook the tortillas by placing them on the heated griddle for 1 to 2 minutes per side until they are light golden brown in places. Transfer cooked tortillas to a plate or serving platter and cover with a kitchen towel until ready to use.
8	Repeat	20
Repeat the cooking process until all the tortillas are cooked.
9	Serve
Serve as part of your next Mexican night.
