HOW DO YOU MAKE HOMEMADE FLOUR TORTILLAS RECIPES

Steps:

• First gauge how 'wet' your masa dough is.  If it sticks to your hands you'll need to add some masa harina to dry it out.  I added 1/4 cup masa harina to 2 cups of masa dough.  Combine well using your hands.
• Separate the dough into golfball sized rounds, this will make the tortillas approximately 4 inches across.
• Flatten the dough balls using a tortilla press or a flat bottomed casserole dish.  Be sure to line each side of the dough ball with plastic or ziploc pieces.  The tortillas should peel off the ziploc easily; if not then you might need to add some masa harina to the dough.
• Heat a skillet or comal to medium heat.  Add a tortilla and flip after 10 seconds. Then cook each side for 1-2 minutes or until light brown spots are forming.  Alternatively, you can skip the quick flip and just cook each side for 1-2 minutes.
• Serve immediately, keeping them warm in a tortilla warmer or kitchen towel.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Stir in water and oil. Turn onto a floured surface; knead 10-12 times, adding a little flour or water if needed to achieve a smooth dough. Let rest for 10 minutes., Divide dough into 8 portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a 7-in. circle., In a greased cast-iron or other heavy skillet, cook tortillas over medium heat until lightly browned, about 1 minute on each side. Serve warm.
