VIDEO: How To Make Flour Tortillas

Nothing about the process is difficult

Published May 3, 2021

Makes: 8 to 12 tortillas
Time: About 1 ½ hours, partially unattended

There are plenty of halfway decent flour tortillas available at supermarkets these days, but eating a freshly rolled one right out of the skillet is a pleasure reserved for the home cook. Nothing about the process is difficult. You don’t even need a tortilla press, although if you have one, here’s a chance to use it; if you want to make big ones, a rolling pin is the way to go. Here’s the recipe, and there’s a bonus video of the whole process above (just for paying members).
