I tried the recipe but I made the mistake of pouring the oil before the water :/ I tried to fix it by adding a little bit of water and flour. I hope they come out good!

I have a question. Why do my tortillas spring back when I roll them out? Do you think they spring back as I roll them because I mix the dough too much? Does anyone know?
My homemade tortillas that I have made for twenty-five years taste great! The only thing is that when I roll them out they spring back (shrink as I roll them) so rolling them is the hardest part for me. It’s a chore. They taste great, but never look very good. I even had my friend from Mexico come to my house to teach me. She made it look very easy, but she refused to measure anything as she was making them. She did use very hot water and lard in her tortillas. She rolled them out with a roller, not a rolling pin, but a piece of wood 1, 1/2 inches in diameter by about 12 inches long. She said rolling pins are for making pies, not tortillas. The roller seemed to push and press the dough, not roll it. She put the dough on a counter to roll it out and she dusted the top only with a tiny bit of flour as she rolled it out. She would only cook it on a very hot stove top in a cast iron skillet. She wouldn’t even consider using my pancake griddle to cook them on.

You can’t beat a Texas tortilla.

These are delicious and super easy to make. My daughter found this recipe and I had them at her house and decided that I would make my own instead of buying them at the store. Used them in a Chicken Enchilada recipe and it truly made the dish. I also used my kitchen aid instead of mixing by hand…worked FABULOUS and I didn’t have to get my hands dirty…a plus for me!

Just made these, and they were so good. Took a lot of self control to finish the batch and make quesadillas for the kids, instead of eating them all as they came off the griddle. I rolled some of mine out too much and they were funny shaped. But I will definitely make them again, and again, and again…thank you!

OMG! You make that look so EASY! I tried once before and for the last time and it was hard and my Tortillas came out hard and looked all different shapes and sizes and not so round and tasted not so good. I am Hispanic and should know how to make these and Mexican Food but I do not. I rely on Rosa’s Tortilla Factory for my Tortillas!!!!

Have to say that this recipe was perfect, easy and the tortillas were so much better than store bought.

They look awesome but Trader Joe’s homemade tortillas are so good, I think I’ll save the time and just buy them!

I followed the recipe as indicated. They were very bland tasting. Maybe I will use lard next time.

I grew up on these, and I must say, it might sound odd but Cream Cheese rolled up in theses is the best!
