Time 1h27m

Yield 8 (8 to 9-inch diameter) tortillas

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for kneading
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup lard, cold
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cold
2/3 cup warm water, about 98 to 100 degrees F

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the bottom blade, add the all-purpose flour, wheat flour and salt and pulse 2 to 3 times to combine. Add in the cold lard and butter and pulse until the mix resembles cornmeal-like texture, 5 to 6 (20-second) pulses. Add the warm water and pulse until a dough ball forms.
  • Turn the dough out onto a well-floured board and knead until the dough is elastic and smooth and no longer sticky, 3 to 4 minutes. Form into a small loaf shape, about 6 by 4-inches. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature for 1 hour.
  • Cut the dough into 8 equal pieces. Working with one at a time, roll into a ball, about the size of a golf ball and dust lightly with flour. Repeat.
  • Place the balls, one at a time, into a well-floured tortilla press, press down and remove. You should have a 6-inch disc at this point. Place the disc on a floured board and roll out to 8 to 9-inch in diameter and almost paper thin, lightly dusting with flour and turning as needed. You can stack them, separated by waxed paper.
  • Heat a cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add the raw tortillas, one at time, cook for 30 to 45 seconds per side, or just until the bubbles puff up, then turn and repeat. Keep the cooked tortillas in a towel, covered, to keep warm and pliable.
  • Special equipment: tortilla press.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my tortillas turned out really tough. I think I might have over-mixed the dough.

These tortillas were a bit dry, but they still tasted good. I think I'll try adding a little more oil or butter next time.

These tortillas were a bit too thick for my taste. I prefer them thinner.

Not worth the effort. I could have bought better tortillas at the store.

Not bad, but not great. The tortillas were a bit dry and didn't have much flavor. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

These homemade flour tortillas were an absolute delight! They turned out soft, pliable, and had the perfect amount of chewiness. I was impressed with how easy they were to make. I'll definitely be making these again!
