Thick Flour Tortillas

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Thick Flour Tortillas.

1. Step 1

   To start your delicious tortilla-making adventure, grab a large bowl and combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

2. Step 2

   Give it a good mix to ensure all those dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

3. Step 3

   In another bowl, mix together warm water and canola oil.

4. Step 4

   Slowly pour this mixture into your flour blend, using a fork to stir until a dough begins to form.

5. Step 5

   If the dough feels a bit dry, don’t hesitate to add an extra 1/4 cup of warm water to get the right consistency.

6. Step 6

   Now, it’s time to knead! On a floured surface, work the dough for about 3 to 4 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.

7. Step 7

   Once you’ve achieved that perfect texture, divide the dough into 14 equal portions and shape each one into a little ball.

8. Step 8

   Cover the bowl with a cotton towel and let the dough rest for 10 to 15 minutes—this helps it relax and makes rolling easier.

9. Step 9

   When you’re ready, take one dough ball and roll it out on a floured surface until it’s about 8 inches in diameter.

10. Step 10

    Repeat this with the rest of the dough balls, and soon you’ll have a lovely stack of tortillas waiting to be cooked.

11. Step 11

    Preheat an ungreased cast iron griddle over medium-high heat.

12. Step 12

    Place one tortilla on the hot griddle and let it cook for about a minute, or until you see those beautiful browned spots forming.

13. Step 13

    Flip it over and cook the other side for another minute.

14. Step 14

    Once it’s done, transfer the tortilla to a plate and cover it with a cotton towel to keep it warm and cozy.

15. Step 15

    Keep going with the rest of the tortillas, stacking them under the towel as you finish.

    Enjoy the delightful aroma filling your kitchen as you create these homemade tortillas, perfect for your favorite fillings or simply enjoyed on their own!.
