Homemade Tortillas
Homemade Flour Tortillas made with simple ingredients. Soft, warm, and perfect for tacos, wraps, or fajitas in under an hour.
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1½ teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 cup water
- 5 tablespoons salted butter, cubed
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour and salt.
- Add the cubed butter and use a fork to work it into the flour until the mixture resembles a coarse meal.
- Add the water gradually, mixing and kneading gently until a smooth dough forms and all the flour is incorporated.
- Divide the dough into 20 equal pieces and roll each into a ball. Cover with a damp towel and let rest for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
- On a lightly floured surface, flatten and roll each dough ball into a thin round, about 6 inches in diameter.
- Place a tortilla onto the hot skillet and cook for about 30 seconds per side, until bubbles form and light golden spots appear.
- Remove and stack the cooked tortillas, covering them with a clean towel to keep warm.
- Serve immediately.
