You have asked for another substitute for lard or shortening and here it is. Soft Butter Flour Tortillas are just as delicious and just as soft. You can eat these all on their own or use them for tacos or chimichangas.

TIPS FOR SOFT TORTILLAS
*Be sure the dough is moist and tacky before kneading.
*IF dough is too wet add flour one Tbsp at a time until workable
*Be sure to knead for 5 to 10 minutes dough should be smooth and soft after kneading
*Be sure to rest for at least 15 minutes to allow the gluten in the flour to relax which helps the tortilla to bubble while cooking
*Try to roll out your tortilla thin
*Over use of flour during the roll-out process may change the texture

You should write a book. You know how to cook and you’re so good at explaining your recipes. I appreciate your work and dedication to your craft.
Yup, I'll preorder 2 copies stat!!
Put me down for one, but I'll probably have to order several!
This channel is getting me through young adulthood 😂😂 a book would be the butter in the tortilla 😂😂
I'd buy that.
She always has well explained recipes. She tries to cater to everyone's tastes and likes. Or maybe it is calorie counters and vegans lol
I remember getting home from school to my mom making fresh tortillas, always a pan of refried beans nearby. Didn't matter if main dish was fried chicken or spaghetti..always had beans n tortillas. YUMMM! Thank you for reminding me.
My mom never made these, matter of fact I never had a flour tortilla until I moved out but she always made pierogies,(mother is German, Italian and Sioux Indian) fresh breads and cakes. So I understand that smell of coming home from school :)
omg same except my mom hated refried beans. We always had charro beans nearby ready to be dejuiced and thrown in her fresh tortillas with whatever leftovers we had (ive eaten leftover fried chicken in tortillas, leftover pork chops, leftover spaghetti sauce and meatballs without the noodles which is oddly good, even leftover broccoli and cheese and potatoes and cheese which was also very yum. Tortillas make leftovers better lol. I didnt even know we were poor till well into my late preteen years cause we ALWAYS ate like kings and queens in mamas house
Anyone who grew up on tortillas and beand is good in my book. Im positive it builds character.
@@litbopeep5726Same, Beans and tortillas here🙋♀️. So now during this pandemic I say, as long as we have beans and tortillas we'll be ok.
Exactly , getting home from school there was always frijoles , tortillas & chile in the molcajete...
Some of my favorite memories are of walking into my grandmother's house on a Sunday afternoon, after church and the smell of hot, fresh tortillas would fill the house. Getting one straight off the comal and slathering it with butter💖💖💖
Same. My grandma made them just about every day. So good.
Girl!!!! Thats the best!! And with freshly made refried beans
mexigrl75
What a great memory. My mom would make many many tortillas for us and they were the best
As for my grandmother ..I wish!! She hated all 8 of us sad hu (heard she was afraid of the dark before she passed)
I can't imagine hating mine ❤
@ohh geee
Thank you I don't let it get me down.
I really like your comment tho and your memory of your Grammy 😍
You're correct! I've used butter, margarine , oil, & Crisco, they all come out fine.
Really?. First I only used butter but doesn't work. Do I really need a rolling bat for tortilla
Do you think Crisco butter flavor shortening will work an get the same results
My favorite childhood memory is walking home from school and immediately recognizing the smell of tortillas being cooked, from neighbors or from our home. Love, love, love that so much. Be safe and thanks for those memories.
I love how she mentions H.E.B thats a texas thang
Spot on. HEB is Texas shopping
I am making tortillas today for Cinco de Mayo. Can’t wait to see how they turn out. Viva San Antonio, so H-E-B is our only big grocery store.
Yes ma'am. HEB is my store. I am in south east Texas
God, I miss HEB.
@@charlesfkessler LOL, I feel for you.
I seriously need to try this. Just dawned on me that I haven't eaten homemade tortillas since my mom died. 15 years.
Gosh, sorry to hear about your mom. 💜
Prayers..🌿🙏☦️📿🕯️💜🦋
Sorry to hear. 💗💞💖
Mas Chingon I’m there with you. Sorry.
Mas Chingon nice picture! Space ace was the best!
Pardon my Texan, but HOLY $hit!! I am 41, live in Austin and I’ve always bought my tortillas from H‑E‑B or restaurants because they always got too dry when I tried to make. Your tip I tried today- about not adding flour! I made a batch with your recipe, but half butter and lard and no extra flour and they were delicious! Iced in today, and wanted tacos but had no tortillas till now! Thank you!
I made this recipe again tonight. Recipes like this will help us get through this tough time.
I like that you use what you have it works with a budget
About 1994 I was in Mexico City working in Chapa-De pic and the foreman on the job spoke no English but he made us breakfast every morning and he would make tortillas on a piece of pipe 10in or 12 around it had a little fire going in the bottom of the pipe and then he would tap his hands together with the tortilla in it and then get it thin enough and put it on top of the pipe and then turn it when you got done on that side it was real neat and tasted awesome
Amen ! Folks from other parts of the world use their discarded food cans to cook. Pots and pans are a rich mans thing. God bless and praise God we can cook with running water inside !
I just made this today and they are awesome! Thank you for another spot on recipe! I was born and raised in Texas and live in Idaho now and miss HEB and awesome Mexican restaurants. Thanks to your channel, I can learn to cook it myself! Blessings 😀🕊
Absolutely love how you engage your viewers, so real. Your recipes are so easy to follow. Thank you!
My mom never had a recipe. She had a big metal can. She put all the ingredients in a small well in the center. Worked it around and a ball came out ! God bless our family members who cooked wit love ! From scratch!
My mom never did either. When I'd ask her what she used she'd reply a little of this, and little of that. How do you make it? Just out it all together.
As an adult she asks why I dont know how to cook. Loved her food as a kid.
Thanks for the recipe. Perfect timing. It's raining today and I don't like driving in the rain. I'm out of tortillas. I have all the ingredients to make tortillas except shortening, I've never heard of using butter but going to try this recipe right now.
Itza Mee let us know 🤔
How did it turn out with the butter.
How was it?
As my mother used to say, "it's easy when you know how." I like to experiment with different recipes and play with my food. These are great tortillas, whether taco or burrito size.
I saw this video on my feed and started watching. I was born in Honduras and I remember watching my aunts making these tortillas every night. You just brought so many memories of my childhood. Thank you!
I was my best friend's honorary sister. Her mom made the best tortillas that I've ever had. Her husband made a press for her and a big thin metal disc to cook them on. She measured her flour using her cupped hand & pinches of stuff😄 My friend resorted to grabbing her handful of flour & tipping it into a measuring cup to try to get a recipe from her😄 ❤ your channel!
Hi, love your videos. I just made these and they came out great. I've tried making them in the past and they would come out dry and hard. I let them rest for a good while until I was ready to cook them. I used very minimal amount of flour to roll them out. Thank you so much. Your voice is warm and soothing. You stick to the topic at hand and don't divert into other areas. Keep up the good work.
Hey, Angela! I'm so happy! I've been trying to make perfect flour tortillas for 3 years now and anytime I feel I need a refreshing in how to make them I come watch your videos. I FINALLY made perfect, beautiful, soft tortillas. Not almost perfect, but perfect! I owe it to you cause each time I watch you I learn something new. Thank you, thank you, thank you! ❤
I’m 23 years old and I’m trying to impress my husbands side of the family with cooking an amazing Easter dinner cuz my suegra makes the most delicious food every holiday. I honestly don’t know what to make for Easter but I know that carne asada can never go wrong after forty days of no meat. Could you post a video of how you marinate your carne asada? And maybe some good sides? I’m definitely going to make these tortillas. Thank you for your videos, I love them so much
Nyx Elizondo what did you end up making and how did it go?
I always make deviled eggs or a homemade creamy Mac and cheese.
You can marinate carne asada with 1/2-1 can of beer
Lime juice
Garlic salt and light pepper
I love how you’re so inclusive. I agree, just use what you have. Hugs from NZ.
Thank you for posting your GREAT videos and including your family recipes. I love that you are flexible and offer substitutes with measurement adjustments. I made the butter tortillas for the first time. I added the hot water in slowly and used a hand blender tool instead of my hands (I had hand surgery). They turned out great 👍🏼 ! Thank you again, you’re so talented.
I’m proud of you and thankful for a “recipe “!! My Gramma would show ya and say these are the ingredients and this is how it should feel and look..... no measurement’s! ❤️
This is what I love about you...You always tell me to use what I have your the authentic type of cook that is my grandmother and mother type of cook.
All the tips you said in this video is exactly what I needed. The dry tortillas and how they snap back was my biggest problem! Thank you.
Made my eyes water thinking of my Grandma and hearing her make Tortillas in the morning. Thanks for sharing. 💜
Thank you so much for all of your recipes, it’s a pleasure to listen to you, you are great at explaining how to do all of the recipes, pleasure to listen to you 🙏🏻
I'm going to make these today! They look so good!! Also, thank you for being super real in your cooking advice. Not everything has to be set in stone, one way only. I love experimenting too!
I've made this recipe twice now and it comes out great everytime! I may never buy store bought again!
They look scrumptious! I'm gonna give this recipe a whirl! Thank you for sharing all of your wonderful recipes. You cook from the heart❣
I appreciate how you always educate and encourage your viewers. Thanks!
Recipe worked like a charm! Thank you for the positive motto of using what you’ve got!
I’m so glad I found your channel! I love how you emphasize to use what you have on hand, and your calm approach to cooking delicious food. Thank you for all that you do!
This recipe is seriously fantastic. I made it over and over again, so soft but springy to wrap!!! This is going to be the last tortilla recipe for me! Thank you for sharing
I never really learned from my parents how to make these things. Your channel has helped fill in the gaps. Can’t wait to cook with my daughter and teach her some of our culture that we seem to be losing.
I always buy my tortillas at the store thank you for showing how easy these can be made I will definitely make them at home.
So are you making tortillas at home now?
I am so happy I came across your channel today. Your way of explaining and demonstrating makes it feel like I am watching a friend teach me in her kitchen. Thank you for just being real and awesome to watch!
I'm a guy and I've been making torillas for a while now. I enjoy your videos. I will try this recipe today!
There's a bunch of us on here, because her recipes are a homage to our abuelas, and abuelos.
@@joequezada1279 my gramd mother use to make torillas with beans because thats all we had to eat back then and it was GOOD!
Absolutely, we had beans and tortillas, meat was a treat, I think back to those times and my kids will never know what real struggle or lack the will that we had growing up, I'm glad in a way that they are able be spoiled because I feel like we as people and Hispanics have taken a huge leap forward.
@@joequezada1279 I also think we have progressed but we must also ground these hispanic kids of today.
@@joseangelrivasjr.7710 you're right my friend.
I just want to say thank you so much you have been a life saver to my family and I .. I’m American and my husband is Honduran and I can cook tamales corn tortillas and much more but when it came to flour tortillas I struggled and watched so many videos but yours are the ones that helped me so thank you and you’re amazing 💕❤️🥰
I tried this recipe today. This is my first time ever for regular flour tortillas. They looked and tasted great...yes, past tense! Thank you for your explanations, especially about flour and even hanging the tortilla dough over the edge of the bowl! Loved it.
Thanks for sharing, I'm from El Paso and always hear lard was the preferred method. Good to hear butter works just as well. Keep up the great cooking presentations. Love your channel.
I love watching you. You truly are an amazing person, thank you for sharing. 💜
Im in a county where Mexican food does not exist and I am dying for it!! I know if these people had a taste of it..it would be a hit!! But I'm so glad I found your channel. I can definitely make this and only some of the recipes because they don't have any Mexican ingredients so I would have to find substitutes. Gracias!!
i love how you are so informative, you show us what things are suppose to look like and give us so many great tips. thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!
Omg, these look so good. Nothing like a warm flour Tortilla with butter. Thanks so much for sharing all your cooking techniques with us. Will definitely give this a try.
I made these today to accompany my carne guisada and omgeee sooo delicious! My first time making these and so fast and easy. I had two sick kids at home too and was able to do these so quick! Thank you for sharing this delicious tortilla recipe 💕
these were simple to make and turned out delicious! thank you for sharing!!
VERY thorough, & I loved how you played with one at the end to really show us the finished product 🙌. Great job girly 👍😘!
Thank u so much for sharing another great idea and video with us all! 💖
I simply love your videos, I haven't thought about it before until you said excuse me for my rant, but you and a select few of other you tubers are the only ones that can talk an not be annoying when you do so. You are a great cook and you explain things so well, thanks for sharing your knowledge and skills. I am heading over to check out your Merch hope you have aprons and coffee mugs, I am collecting them from my favorite RUclips Cooks!!
I absolutely love your soft flour tortillas and make them often. I'll try this butter one next. Honestly, I have NEVER had a tortilla I liked better than your soft flour tortillas. Thanks for sharing.
Its true..i made her tortillas and carne guisada
I love this recipe! Ive made tortillas with butter when I had nothing else. They came out delicious. Thanks for sharing.
I agree with everything you said. We cant please people. Hehe as long as you're happy with how you do a recipe, then that's fine! I love your channel!
Thank you so so much. Everytime I made them, they were so hard😂. I followed your steps and tips, and they came out GREAT!!!
This is my 3rd tortilla video I have watched from you and they NEVER get old!! Thank you so much for your videos!!!
I made the greatest meal in my entire life from your recipe!! And I watched A LOT of different videos before finally finding yours. Thank you so much!! ❤️
You have saved me 7 dollars in gluten free wrap costs the weekend. Made your butter recipe with ground oat flour..delicious! My grilled chicken fajitas were just perfect! I am so excited to have RUclips met you!!!!
Thank you! I am celiac; we love Mexican food, but my husband doesn't like corn tortillas. I've been scrolling through the comments looking for anyone who has used, or asked about using, gluten-free substitutes! I am now very, very happy.
Ok so THANK YOU SO MUCH 😊 I followed this recipe and my tortillas came out absolutely PERFECT!
I’ve tried so many recipes such as my moms, granny’s, and few others...... they just DO NOT come out like there’s or The way I would like. My husband tried mine after following this particular recipe and 🥰. Again Thank You 😊
I love your videos. Thank you! ❤️
I love how you teach. Thank you so much for sharing. I did these, followed instructions to the T and everyone loved them. ❤😊
Your video has helped me so much! I love how you explain your techniques! Your video solved all my tortilla issues and helped me relax while making them!
thank you for another great video, and talking us through the issues. I consider tortilla making to be my greatest failure after trying a few different recipes and none working out. You give this tortilla dyslexic hope!
You are welcome! I know it's a lot of talking, but I think if I can just remember tips or points that may help someone. I hope it all works out for you. 😊
Wow thank you so much! These are the only ones that have ever turned out for me. They are perfect!
I tried this recipe today and it was a success. I love the softness and butter flavor of the tortilla. Definitely it is a keeper! Thank you
This is by far the best tortilla recipe I've come across. Thank you so much.
I'm obsessed with you're videos! I tried your carne colorado recipe and my family loved it ❤ Thanks for sharing!
I just made these for the first time today and OMG They turned out perfect and tasted amazing!!
Thank you! They turned out perfect!
Thank you so much for this video!!! Totally explains why my tortillas are so tough!! You’re the best!!!♥️
Where have you been all my life??❤️❤️❤️❤️. My coworkers aunt would bring us a batch to work to “Snack on” omg !! Nothing is better then having them fresh thank you 🙏
Thank you! I have made my first batch of tortillas and they came out GREAT and delicious!
I will definitely try your recipe. They look delish! Thanks for sharing.
LOOKS WONDERFUL! I will have to try this for sure!
Thank you for this recipe!! I'm new at making tortillas and they always came out stiff. I just tried your method and they came out so soft! Thanks so much!!! ❤
These look incredible! Thank you for sharing!
I love your videos so much!!! I’ve learned so much from you!! THANK YOU
I made these for dinner tonight & it came out DELICIOUS!
I love your stove with the griddle, I've had a couple of electric stoves over my life time when I was younger but I would never go back, gas is the best! I will def. try this recipe as I don't do lard! Thx
I live in Austin Texas....we always shop at HEB.
I love the way she explains every step.
Thank you Tracey
I will try to make these delicious tortillas today
Yum! I have never made homemade tortillas other than helping my grandma. Thanks for the recipe, I will trying this soon.
Firstly, I want to thank you for sharing your recipe. I don't really like using too much lard in my cooking and I was already thinking about substituting with butter when I saw your original tortilla video. I also am grateful for that angle showing the tortillas rising as they cooked, at stove level 😍. And lastly, when you tore a piece off the cooked tortilla at the end, it just did some things to my taste buds. Oh my! ❤️
Thank you for truly simplifying Tortillas for the basic household cook. My tortillas turned out as if I purchased them from the store. I am now a subscriber and I shared your link with my Sister who also loves tortillas
your recipes are SO accurate & good -- they always come out well. my tortillas were dry & tough until I found you; now I make great tortillas. thank you!!! BTW, I weighed out all the ingredients (because as you mentioned, measurement by weight works best for baking) and for me, 3 cups of White Wings all-purpose flour came out to 410 grams and the baking powder came out to 10 grams. another reason I love working by weight when baking is that you don't have to get a bunch of measuring cups and spoons dirty (okay, I can be a little lazy)! THANK YOU AGAIN!!!
Thank you! You know somewhere on here someone commented that 3 cups to grams is 409 grams, so you are spot on. I think the biggest reason for my three cups being slightly less is because I really fluff and aerate the flour before scooping. I might just might retest it. Either way I'm so glad you tried the recipe. I appreciate you!🙏💖
I made these tonight. Omg so easy, soft, and delicious. I used you advice and used what I had which was 1/2 butter & 1/2 bacon grease. I'm a Texan too and keep a mason jar in the fridge tightly done with a lid to keep other smells out. Oh my goodness your recipe is good. I have problems with my hands so I did the main mixing & kneading with my kitchen aid. Thank you for sharing. ❤ 🏡
This is just the way my mother used to make four tortillas. They were always the softest and so deliciously good.
I remember my grand aunt using a little butter with lard to give the tortillas some extra flavor can’t wait to try this !!! Yum!!!
Thank you!!! I make these all the time the butter makes them taste super delicious and thicker❤❤❤❤❤
Hi, I found U and will try this recipe since we just love chicken enchilada casserole made in the crock pot with cut strips of tortillas. Baking in crock pot on high then to low for a total cook time of about 7 to 8 hrs. The tortillas become more so like the thick to 1/2 thin bread pieces and it soaks up the liquid, it is different then baking in the oven, we like to let sit a day to enquire flavor hehe kind of hard to do but we manage the time in quality tasting foods. Thanks Ur recipes are so good, we just love them and we live in the Philippines, from the Denver area, cant beat a good mexican chef!!!!
You are an amazing cook. I love how u explain everything. Can I just say I love your stove!
Made them. WOW!! It was amazing. Very easy to do. For sure will be making these again and maybe try making them for quesadillas. My error was not having the pan hot enough at first. And not rolling them out enough, but figured it out..and just amazing. Thanks for sharing this easy recipe.
Ive used butter when i didnt have manteca. And my mom uses oil when she makes dough for pumpkin empanadas. It all works.😊
Oh I love making your recipes for tortillas
Thank you for this, I can't wait to make them
I just discovered your channel tonight, and I am absolutely loving It! I definitely agree with your philosophy of use what you have. I've been cooking a long time, and I almost always adjust something in a recipe. People have different tastebuds, dietary needs, pantries, etc, and nobody wants to have to go out and buy a whole bunch of new stuff just to try a recipe! These looked SO good, I could practically smell them, and I will definitely be trying them soon. You made them look so easy, and I love that you fried that first one in real time. I am looking forward to exploring your channel!
My mouth is watering now! This is the next thing I want to master. Thanks for all the tortilla recipes!
You are welcome! Thank you!😁
Made these tonight! They were perfect! Thank you!
Thank you for your easy recipe. It was so helpful! I’m doing the tortillas now.
I love your video.all my questions have been answered.i made flour tortilla before and had trouble before.thank you so much for your tips. ❤️
I just made this tonight. Amazing!
