Flour tortillas are popular in northern Mexico, whereas corn is favored in the central and southern regions. It is just a matter of what grows where.

Corn tortillas are rarely used in Tex-Mex enchilada dishes, because unless homemade, they tend to break apart when trying to roll them up. I use them to make stacked enchiladas, which are found in West Texas and New Mexico.

Handmaking flour tortillas is not difficult at all. You'll need the ingredients, a rolling pin, spatula, and a skillet. Also, have a container ready to hold the fresh tortillas.

I am posting a basic recipe, plus 4 varieties of flavored ones: onion, garlic, cumin, and adobo.

See links below for adobo and taco seasonings, or purchase Sazon from a Latin grocery.

YouTube has several how make flour tortilla videos. If you're a novice, you might want to watch one first.

  • Basic Recipe:

  • 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 cup lard, cut in little cubes
  • 1 tbs. corn or veggie oil
  • 1 1/4 cup warm water
  • To the warm water, add one of the following, and stir well:
  • 1 tbs. onion powder (do not toast)

Инструкции

  1. Stir the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl, add the lard pieces and work the dough with your fingers (like biscuit dough), until it resembles fine meal.
  2. Drizzle on oil and stir in the water, forming a dough.
  3. Knead for 2 minutes on a work surface. The dough should be soft and elastic.
  4. Cover and let rest 30 minutes.
  5. Divide into 12 pieces.
  6. Turn the first piece of dough in a little flour, and using a rolling pin or dowel, roll the dough out from the center, keeping it in a round form, and roll until it is a thin 6 inch round.
  7. Brush off visible flour.
  8. Using a clean towel, put the tortilla on the towel, fold it over to cover it.
  9. Make the rest of the tortillas and add to towel.
  10. Heat a skillet or comal to medium high.
  11. Put 1 tortilla in the skillet and cook for 15-20 seconds, flip it over with the spatula.(Tortilla should puff up a bit and have pale brown spots before flipping it.)
  12. Repeat.
  13. The tortillas should be soft, supple. If they cook to long, they stiffen.
  14. Store in a plastic bag. Will freeze.
