Homemade Flour Tortillas in 20 Minutes


Flour tortillas are surprisingly easy to make at home — and once you do, the store-bought ones just don’t hit the same.

You’ll need flour, baking powder, salt, a bit of fat (like butter, lard, or oil), and warm water. Mix, knead lightly, let rest, then roll out thin circles and cook them in a hot skillet until they bubble and brown.

The result? Buttery, flexible, warm tortillas that elevate any wrap, quesadilla, or breakfast burrito. They’re best eaten fresh, but they keep well in a towel or airtight container if you somehow have leftovers.

It’s a quick, satisfying kitchen win — and your tacos will thank you.

The Magic of Fresh Corn Tortillas

There’s something deeply satisfying about making your own corn tortillas — the earthy aroma, the warm puff straight off the griddle, the first bite that tastes like tradition.

To get started, you only need three ingredients: masa harina (a special corn flour), water, and a pinch of salt. Mix until the dough feels like soft clay, then roll into balls and press into thin circles using a tortilla press or a heavy skillet. Cook on a hot, dry pan for about 30 seconds per side — watch for the little puff, a sign they’re perfect.

Fresh corn tortillas are far superior to store-bought. They're soft, flavorful, and hold up beautifully to anything from tacos al pastor to simple beans and cheese.

Once you taste the difference, you’ll never go back.
