Homemade Flour Tortillas
This week we just got back from our trip out west. It was a wonderful trip but I’m usually processing emotions, doing errands, and dealing with laundry after long trips away. Planning the week out for supper plans I decided we were going to crockpot chicken tacos, which are amazing. Jeremy and I have been talking about the flour tortillas we generally will buy and the ingredient list is over 30 ingredients (no joke, I counted) not only that they last nearly 7 weeks for an expiration date which is absurd to me. So I decided to make flour tortillas again and honestly I forgot how easy and delicious they really are!
I generally reheat mine before eating tacos, by buttering a pan and then cooking tortilla again 30 seconds each side. We also have froze these tortillas and taken them out as needed! Just let them cool down completely and then place in a ziplock bag in the freezer!
I’ve tried my hand at many tortillas and last nights were just out of this world soft and perfect. Maybe my next challenge will be no buying tortillas for a year?! Because just like homemade bread, there’s nothing like homemade tortillas! I think we will give that a go!

I have been hoping you would share this recipe, so thank you so much! They are so easy to make (coming from someone who just started make bread last month) and so dang good. My kids who never eat tortillas could not get enough of these.
love this!! this makes me so happy! there’s nothing like homemade tortillas!
Just started making these and I never knew tortillas could taste so good! I can eat them plain like candy! I’ve been batching a freezing the dough so I can make them fresh! They have literally been a game changer for dinner. So much more flower than store bought!
I’m so glad you love them as much as we do! here comes 365 of homemade tortillas! lol!
I’m so thankful for the time and thought that goes into sharing recipes that help another momma and wife provide nourishing meals for her home and family. First it was bread, now it’s tortillas and I am so thankful!!
This is seriously the sweetest comment! Thank you!
