Hello my beautiful family hope you are all having a blessed and beautiful day, homemade flour tortillas are a MUST!!!!!! There is no store bought tortilla that could ever replace them! 5 ingredients is all you need when in reality 6 because like every recipe love is require and best believe you can taste it! Love you all so much and than k you for your continuous love and support! ❤️
She’s a baaaad girl!! Started out as a teen Mom & a Whole Boss now. Got her shirt mic now, watching her old vids. The progression is Awesome, makeup, style, braces off. I love it, you go girl!!!
Just made these for chicken tacos last night! I chilled the leftover balls in the fridge. Took them out in the morning and let them warm up. Then made delish breakfast burritos! Thank you, Claudia for this recipe and easy-to-follow instructions!
Thank you so much for this recipe!! I am an Arizona native, I have tried HUNDREDS of tortilla recipes but this is by far the ultimate BEST OVERALL THANK YOU CLAUDIA 🥰💯🙏🏻
My besties mom used to make these for us back when I was really little. I would get so wide eyed watching her flip them on the hot skillet with her bare hands lol 😂. I’d never seen anything like that before and I thought she was amazing (well - actually she was truly amazing 😍). She’s put butter on them, roll them up in a napkin and send us outside to eat. To this day, literally one of my favorite childhood memories. Thank you Claudia for this video and recipe! Time to relive my childhood… 😁
Same here. Oddly my child hood friends be was Claudia. Her Grandmother watched all the little ones during the day as the parents worked. I would go over everyday after I got my chores done, help her with her chores, and her grandmother would always say "you too skinny - eat!" Handing me a plate of food. It always had beans, rice, fresh tortillas, sometimes some sort of meat or potatoes. But it was always good. Never asked just ate. I always felt like I would pop when I left lol. My favorite childhood memories. Those and the other neighbor would make tamales, and let us eat on them all day lol. FYI, sadly I still can't speak Spanish, but it is my favorite food to cook.
This lovely little Mama is the real deal. Her recipes are as authentic as they come. Whenever I need a latino recipe and clear instruction, this is where I go. Tried & True! ❤️
Actually true - the only recipe you'll ever need - works a treat 😊 Tip for those following along though is don't add all of the water at once, as your flour will probably be different to hers and absorb a different amount of water.
I love how you always stay so nice and clean when you are cooking. Meanwhile, I look like I was laying on the counter and rolling around with the food 😬😂😂
Look how far away she is from the counter. If you strain your back, you can be clean, too. She doesn't do that with the camera off. She gets into her cooking clothes, or has an army of aprons. Like we do.
I grew up with 6 brothers.. my mom made flour tortillas ...I always watched her make them..and I know how to make flour tortillas her way.. Yours are just like the way she made them.. so I can tell yours are delicious with butter too...😋
I have Mexican Aunts. And none will give the Corn or Flour Tortilla recipes over the phone. They all say, You have to watch how it's made. A pinch of this and a pinch of that. So..... thanks for the much needed instructions and measurements!!! Liked and Subbed.
These tortillas are perfect! And I know its a bit naughty but to be honest, I put all the ingredients in my breadmaker and let it knead for me, saves so much energy for me as a busy mum. They still came out absolutely perfect. 👌 I also render my own pork fat from roasts and bacin etc. Use that in the tortillas as shortening it will blow your mind 🎉
You are so genuinely kind & generous and friendly. Your talents are incredible I love finding a new video from you. I just absolutely love your kind sweet energy. If all American women could be as you are this nation would recover in a rapid way. Thank you & God Bless you and your family. -Jonzy
In 5th grade, my best friend Armando's Mom made fresh tortillas with a most delicious pork for World Food Day. I've been hooked on both ever since! Thank you for jogging this memory from an old man!!!!
Hi, my dough came out pretty soupy. Followed the recipe closely w/ 4 cups AP flour, 1.5 tsp BP, and 2 tsp salt and 6 TBLspoons butter, & 2 cups hot water added slowly. Anyone else have this problem? Thanks for any help.
You have given me the keys to my childhood tortillas and I can't thank you enough. Nana always had me at the counter helping her ball and roll tortillas, which at the end of the day is the most important part of pretty tortillas ❤️ gracias, babe
This recipe was so easy and came out perfectly! My whole family loved them. I've tried other recipes over the years but gave up and went back to store bought. Decided to try another instead of a trip to the grocery store and I'm SOOOOOO glad I found yours!!!! Will def be checking out your other recipes!!!
Awesome recipe. Best one I have found so far. For those of us not living in the US, here is the recipe conversion: 480g All purpose flour 77g Lard or 84g Butter (hydrogenated fats will kill you, so I didn't include a conversion for shortening) 6g Baking Powder 11g Salt 480ml Hot Water
Giirl love how this video is straight to the point but still very detailed ! Your cooking videos are the best! All the ingredients in the beginning of the vids make following your steps sooo much easier. Keep up the videos doll! I will be making some of these tortillas for my hubby tonight 😍☺️ Thank you & god bless chica ☺️💕
I have had this recipe for a couple of years. I added oil. I had used warm water before and heard of using hot water, but I never had. Today, as I wanted to make a bit more tortillas, but not 30, I saw your video and used hot water. To my surprise, it was so easy to knead the dough!!! It was quickly done. Learn something new❤. Thanks
I made this because I didn't want to go to the store to get tortillas and now I never need to make that specific run again. This recipe was awesome! Really easy to follow. (I definitely need to work on my shaping though, they were kind of... not circular.)
My family is Norwegian and watching you make these is so similar to the process we use to make lefse. (The finished product even looks identical to each other!) Lefse has potatoes in it as well, but it's pretty much a potato tortilla. So many great memories of making it with my mom and grandma growing up, I'm sure yours is one of those recipes that will be cherished in your family! :)
Can't wait to try this recipe. Looks so simple even a non experienced guy like me can make them. Thank you for sharing and showing step by step instructions.
Ive tried alot of homemade tortillas recipes but Miss Claudia recipe is an all time fave with my kids. My oldest helps prep, roll and cook the tortillas just so she can be the first one to do the taste test. Thank you for your recipe love🤍
I can only imagine who wonderful those tortillas smell as they're cooking on the stove. It's an incredible smell that brings back great childhood memories.
Hands down the best recipe I’ve made. I will never be able to buy store brand after making these tortillas. I made these with grilled chicken wraps. Thank you for sharing💝
You probably won't see this comment, but I followed your recipe for flour tortillas and they were delicious!! My daughters were shocked when I told them I made them 🙂 Thank you for the step by step recipe.
Yes! This seems a very easy recipe! I'll try it soon. Hopefully, I'll be able to make these while my Mom sleeps, then have Breakfast Burritos ready when she awakes. I'll need to pick up some more flour though. And eggs. Yum!
I really appreciate cooks who know how to make simple videos for easy recipes. This was short and to the point. When I'm trying to find a recipe I appreciate not having to watch 20 minutes of details that are common sense.😂❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much ! I’ve done acouple of you’re recipes ! Love them. Ive struggled with tortillas but I love how you showed us step by step especially when rolling them out 🤗
I have tried 3 recipes for tortillas. The first was like this one only a smaller batch. The dough never became sticky and no matter how long I kneaded it was never pliant. The tortillas turned out like thick tough pancakes. The second didn't use baking powder and they turned out better, even puffing like they should but they were small. Today I tried again I made these tortillas. The sticky dough was like something out of the blob movie lol I had to add a couple table spoons of flour to bring it together (I didn't even use all of the water). I use a tortilla press because of old hands and the thing I noticed that this and the first recipe had in common was the dough wanted to pull back together after leaving the press. They end up to thick when it does that. I rolled a couple by hand and they puffed but they tasted to much like baking powder. I may not be meant to make my own tortillas but I will keep trying.
I just had to throw the whole batch away. Even after adding at least one more cup of flour it was way too sticky to knead. I’m not sure how everybody else is measuring, but mine certainly did not turn out. I knew you could not use that much liquid in only 4 cups of flour.
Too much water. I use this recipe, same steps as hers but not additional flour. Mine dont stick to counter. I use a little less than a cup. 3 cups flour 2 teaspoons salt 1/2 baking powder (optional) 1/2 cup shortening or slightly less than 1/2 cup Abt a cup of water or slightly less. Knead the dough for 3 min and let it rest for abt 10 minutes covered w plastic or a kitchen towel. You can either let the entire dough rest or you can opt to make the balls and then let then rest (my preferred method). I use an cast iron skillet, medium heat. My stove is gas. Hope this recipe helps you.
You have to trust the process and persevere. It will start out and you will think it can't possibly be that much water, but the stickiness will go away after you need a while. Try not to add more flour, that is what is making it thick and tough.
@@staceyfinch2158 I am naving the same problem, after kneading the dough, it was still sticky and when I was done it did not conform to a solid ball like hers did. Its resting so i dont' k now what's gunna happen!
My mom tried to teach me to make flour tortillas, hers were amazing! I never got it right. Now I just buy Tortillaland tortillas at the store and cook them at home. They are basically the dough rolled out and ready to be put on the comal. Easy and tasty for when you are lazy. 😄
I think it’s a sign I need to make homemade tortillas. You and views on the road uploaded the same video today! Can’t wait to try this Claudia. Your recipes never fail and my family is always happy :)
Absolutely love your videos! Loved Mexican food since I was a kid living in AZ and your videos have helped me to recreate all the recipes I always assumed were too hard to make myself. :)
OMG! Thank you! I have been trying for so so long to make flour tortillas right. I cut this recipe in half but it was perfect... Thank you!!! Yayyyyyy!!!
Mmmm tortillas homemade!! 😋 I love homemade flour tortillas!!! Thank you for showing us how to make these ❤️ love you Claudia and all your videos!! Always watching 🤗 and much love to your family 💘
Mmmm, those tortillas look so deliscious ! I always wanted to know how to make flour tortillas.My Mom always made them so perfect every time. Thanks for sharing Claudia.
Hey I have a quick question what can I use to substitute shortening? Because I don't use shortening at all, if I can substitute shortening for butter how much butter would I need or it is all depends on how much I make it. Thank you so much I'm a New subscriber to your page🎉 @@CookingConClaudia
Thank you so much Claudia! I always did too much or not enough seasonings and burn things 😅 since i started watching your videos my Husband has been complimenting my food. GRACIAS 😍😍😍😍
Claudia I love and cook almost everything you cook. You should have your own tv show also. Wanted to ask if one day can you make spinach and chipotle flour tortillas.
After trying to make flour tortillas for so long and not being able to do it that I almost gave up !! came across ur video and I decided to give them another try !!! And let me just say Thank you for sharing ur recipe I have made 3 times in this week alone !!!!!!!!! It was a hit since try one !!! My family loves them !!!!!!!!! Can’t wait to try more of ur recipes !!!!!!
There is nothing like homemade flour tortillas. I grew up with freshly made homemade tortillas everyday! Now that mom is older and her family is grown she does make them anymore. I've tried over and over again and they never taste like hers. I'm going to try your recipe and especially the King Arthur brand of flour. Thank you for the recipe and I really enjoy your videos!
I have no idea how I managed it but my dough is so sticky compared to yours. Had to add nearly 2 more cups of flour to get anything even close to that consistancy. It's sitting now. So I guess we will see what happens.
I tried to make these for the first time and utterly failed. I used crisco buttery shortening. I couldnt roll them round. You make it look so easy! Im jealous.
Thank you, Claudia, they turned out perfect! I'm eating these now with bowl of fresh made frijoles in crockpot with aguacate, cilantro, onion, an jalapeños! 😉😋😊💞
First recipe I looked at, and I’m not even going to bother to look at another one! Really nice job. Thank you! after years of eating store-bought tortillas I can’t wait to try.
I wish you would use weight measurements for flour when it comes to dough recipes. Most professional cooks acknowledge that a cup of flour is 120 grams but the weight of a cup of flour can differ dramatically depending on how tightly the flour is packed in the cup. Your recipe calls for 4 cups of flour. If we were to assume that to be 480g then add the 2 cups of water (473g), we are talking about a dough with almost 100% hydration! That is not what I see in the video. A 100% hydration dough looks almost like a batter. Most flour tortillas recipes I’ve seen have a dough hydration of 50-60%.
Missing the fixings of beef and beans and we're set for lunch..! Easy Peasy recipe! Thank you!! I was lucky enough to see and eat Tortillas made by hand. She used a gas stove top to "bake" them. They were awesome, because they had a Whole Lot of Love Baked In...
I have been trying to make Mexican tortillas for years. I made excellent bread but tortillas never turn soft and are always too dry. I have seen many many videos and yours is the best. I am trying your recipe right now.
It’s perfect! My go to recipe for flour tortillas it is very sticky at first. Which is why I don’t dump all water at once. Pour little by little! Enjoy!
I initially tried this tortilla recipe about 2 weeks ago. Since then I have made tortillas using this same tutorial 3 times. I must say, these are delicious!! I had never made my own tortillas....but this video and recipe made it so simple, even for me. Thank you Claudia 👍
@@sarahs7253 Good question.....actually the answer is no. I found it to be a little too much water for the mix. My strategy is to add a little water at a time up until I get the consistency I want.....hope this helps
I like how easy you make it look. My poor dough balls get rolled out into what looks like a flour-based ink blot test. Between that and the fact that they snap/shrink back to half their size when I pick them up has me flustered a bit. I’ve tried all sorts of different resting timings, amounts of flour when rolling, different recipes…but still struggling. I can only hope there are some irregular shapes that didn’t make the production reel :). Despite the irregularity, mine do taste very good. Love this channel…learning so much! Well, I’m not giving up…so onto the next batch. 😂
Yaaaaaas!!! Lard! I don't care what people say! It's a level up in flavor. (I miss Puerto Nuevo. No.1 made the best tortillas because the used lard.) Thank you for sharing.
I tried this today ... kind of spur of the moment ... and it's fantastic. I had some rounds and some squares ... but all were very very tasty. Thanks. :)
@@angelicaramirez915 Yes, it worked beautifuly for me, I'm in Canada and our flour is made from harder wheat so maybe that is why? I thought it was a great dough, so easy to work with ... I did add more flour while kneading (if you've made bread before you know the 'feel'). I thought it turned out fantastic, will definitely make it again. Probably this week.
Made these a few weeks ago and they were an instant hit with my family …making them for a birthday party tomorrow…thanks,so much for sharing…stay blessed
I LOVE this recipe! The tortillas are soft and delicious. I use butter instead of lard. I was thinking about using milk instead of water. Has anyone tried that? These store really well. I had some leftover dough balls, and they kept well over-night. I made sure they were well covered in plastic. This is a great recipe!
These were sooooo good!!! I work for the Boys and Girls club and they want to make these. I’m using your recipe 💯!!! It was my first time using shortening. I think it made them stay softer even after refrigeration.
