Steph I have been making your tortilla recipe since the 5lb recipe came out 😊 I make them about every 2-3 months I hand them out to family and friends who love them. They are always so surprised at how soft they are after they pull them out the freezer. They don't stick together at all makes it easy to just grab 1 at a time. Sending you ladies loves & hugs from Texas.
I’m Native American - Navajo. We make tortillas as well but they are a little thicker. We use baking powder. This is interesting. I’m definitely going to try. They look so goood! ❤❤
I am a guy and I’m working on my round tortilla game. I believe I have rolled out a tortilla map of each of the 50 states so far. Thank you for this video.
Hello...I absolutely love authentic tortillas. Ive made them one time and gave up. Ive been CRAVING shredded beef enchiladas and it only is great if i can make the tortillas myself. I do not have the lard, but i do have unsalted butter. You expressed we can use butter. I hope that they will be just as great??? I wish my sweet husband was still here with me to help enjoy this meal..or just be the rock for me as he used to be. One day I will see him again...thanks to a change of heart..he became a christian before he passed away..So, in short..this recipe is dedicated to my man.."Biker Bob"!!! Thank you for sharing...Jody
I have never in my life tried to make my own tortillas from scratch, until watching this video. I do have some baking experience, just no experience with making tortillas. As a 53y.o. man I struggled with this. All the while telling myself that at the end of the process I will be wiser and more knowledgeable for my effort. I used butter instead of lard. In the future I may try to use lard so that I have a frame of reference for comparison. Before making the small dough balls I weighed the large ball of dough, so that I knew roughly how to evenly split it up into equal parts. I had roughly 653g of dough so I broke it into roughly equal parts of 65g, or 10 smaller balls. If I make them again I might aim for somewhere between 70-75g for a 12" tortilla. My tortillas ended up closer to 10 inches. the extra 5-10g of dough I believe would have helped in making the tortillas a bit larger. Overall, I consider this a success even though I struggled. I learned a lot from my experience and moving forward I have the benefit of what I learned along the way. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe with us all in this wonderful video. 🙂
Renee here. Steph and Cloud! You were NOT kidding when you said this was an easy recipe! It was o easy to follow along and make them with you/video. They are WONDERFUL! They came out just like yours! I had made flour tortillas a few times prior with other vloggers and they had come out to thick and not soft. So when I viewed your video, I felt confident I could make them with your instruction. One of the things that made such a difference to me is the way you explained what each step should look like, feel like and why. So helpful. My husband LOVES them and it is truly true that once you make them at home ( with y’all’s recipe, of course !) you’ll not buy another tortilla from the store. Thank you both oh so very much!❤️ R
Yay!!! Real authentic tortillas simply and clearly explained. You have no idea how hard it is to find someone who knows what they're doing. I appreciate you 😊
I ve been a baker for 40years and never made tortillas until today. Wow are they good! Your recipe turned out tender and melt in your mouth texture. Thank you so much!
‼️‼️Oh my Goodness‼️‼️. I am 64 yrs old. I am pretty good making tortillas and I usually I make them every day. I wanted to try your recipe just to do something different. ‼️OMG‼️This Masa is perfect. I don’t remember the last time I made masa this soft. It’s like whipped cream. I can’t wait to cook them and taste them. 😘. I am going to have to show my tias how this is done. 😅
My mom is Navajo, she taught me almost exactly how to make flour tortillas like you… she taught me with butter! My older brother uses crisco, but I don’t like vegetable or seed oils and prefer animal fats. Awesome video!
@@clarkepi2011 I use 5 1/2 tablespoons per two cups of flour… I live at 6,000ft elevation if that makes any difference. I use bobs redmill organic all purpose flour, it makes really good tortillas!
After many failed attempts at making tortillas, your video has helped me finally make a successful batch of flour tortillas! ❤️❤️ This recipe is awesome , I used butter in mine and they were amazing! Thank you so much! You've saved my sanity 😅
Im a pure Cajun. We never learned this here. Tortillas come from Walmart we thought growing up. Last few years I have learned to cook a lot. I am learning to cook tortillas. I love this video and even more awesome from you. Thank you.
Girl this recipe is everything. I used butter and my tortillas turned out fabulous. I let the dough rest for about 1-2 hours while I cooked dinner and it came together so nicely. Such an easy recipe and best one I’ve tried so far.
Ya butter all the way! It’s the most natural and healthiest option. I use butter for tortillas and it’s so yum. Salt or non salted doesn’t matter. You would just add more salt if it’s unsalted.
@@clarie91s we just made them and did use butter. We used the same amount as the lard as I am not a baker and wouldn’t know any better. Dad and daughter project instead of store bought. They turned out delicious!
i’m a quarter native mexican. my dad’s half, grandma is full first generation. i’m not too loud, but proud to carry that with me. i was not taught a lot though about our language or food. especially not cooking. to feel like i’m learning from family, and the kindness, the love in the video. i immediately subscribed. it means everything to me.
I am the same as far as not being taught about the culture and food. I am mostly self-taught by research and watching Stephanie now. I laughed when I saw Stephanie making her tamales with guajillo chiles and putting the sauce in her tamale dough to flavor it. I did the same thing when I learned to make them.
I love your new easy recipe! This recipe is as close to my mothers tortillas as I remember them. She cooked them on a comale outside and would add a touch of ash from the wood fire, did not use a rolling pin only her soft beautiful hands from making tortillas for so many years. Thank you, I am close to tears finally finding a recipe that is spot on authentic. Mine came out perfecto!! I cook alot and there is nothing that brings the kind of joy that making good tortillas and tamales bring, it is a quiet joy I know you know what I mean.
I so love you 2. I have told many of my friends about your channel. My grandmother was Spanish Basque. I never knew about Mexican food until we moved to the US. Unfortunately, many people believe that all Spanish speaking people know how to make each others food. In my world, a tortilla was always an omelette with potatoes. Now I have a great place to send my friends to learn about Mexican food in a knowledgeable and kind way. I love flour tortillas, so it will be nice to try making them at home. As my grandmother always used to say, "Hija, hay que rezar." All the best for your journey. 💛
I can't thank you enough for this recipe, I traveled 30 mins just to get Morrell lard because I wanted to get these right for my Texan husband and he is THRILLED with the tortillas I made with this recipe. We live in Florida and can't get any good food lol I'd only made tortillas once or twice before and they just weren't right. Also a side note,while he's a grateful man, it's hard to impress my husband with food which keeps me on my toes since feeding people is my love language. So it means so much to me when he was just blown away by these, he says "well we don't have to buy tortillas anymore!" Thank you,thank you, thank you !God bless!
Hi Steph I've been a secret watcher to your videos I'm Mexican Indian-Aztect that is. And I admire the love an passionate that you put into you recipes and honestly I made a whole book of your recipes just for my personal use only and my book will later on in life be pass down my grandkids ❤ all because of you. I love you for what you do so thank you for sharing your love to us and teaching us have a bless day my friend. God bless you and your love ones ❤
Stephanie you look absolutely stunning. I love how she explains step by step how to cook her recipes, it makes it easy for a single dad like myself. God bless and much love ❤️
I am sooooo grateful to have found this recipe! My husband is from Honduras and loves a good homemade baleada but my tortillas just never came out right. I even followed his mom and paternal grandmother’s recipes but they would never stretch out right or they would get rough and get cracks. I followed your recipe and my husband was in heaven! I was too due to how great these rolled out, kept its shape, never shrunk in the heat, and they even stayed super soft in my tortilla holder! I could hug you so tightly right now! Thank you thank you thank you!!! ❤
These were legit the best tortillas I’ve ever had. Not that I’ve ever made. The best I’ve ever had! These will be in my permanent recipe collection!! Thank you!!
This is my second comment but i just had to come back and tell you how grateful i am for this recipe and your instructions We are enjoying shrimp tacos, they are so good on these tortillas! .
OMG, OMG!!!!! Steph, this recipe makes the softest and tastiest tortillas I have ever tried. A piece of advice, DOUBLE the recipe. You will be left wanting more. They taste and feel so good :) I have a family of 6 and the tortillas disappeared within minutes. xoxo, you ladies are awesome!
Hola Steph ! :) Hace 5 años, encontré tu canal cuando solamente quería una receta para salsa. Pero tu pasión y amabilidad me traen de vuelto cada vez. Es maravilloso que yo tenga la oportunidad de ser un miembro de la comunidad increíble que has hecho. Espero que muchas más bendiciones te pasen, lo mereces. ❤
Your flour tortilla recipe from two years ago has been my go to and the only one that has given me beautiful, flexible and tasty tortillas. (The video where you gave north to south directions for laying them on the comal). This recipe looks to have both a higher moisture and fat ratio to flour. I’m definitely going to try these. Thank you!
Thank you for the shout out to us guys out here, meant a lot to me. Also for the words of encouragement. Think it's been a rough year for a lot of people, praying for you and yours this holiday season. 🙏 P.S. My Turkey turned out fantastic! Thanks for the lessons in cooking. 😊
So thankful for you, woman!! It’s taken years for me to get the nerve to do this! And you ARE the BEST teacher! Every time I go to try one of your recipes, I enter such a stress free zone! How freeing to not beat myself up when I cook with you! Thanks again for giving me the confidence to mature in my cooking! ❤
My hubby followed your turkey recipe for thanksgiving and it was absolutely AMAZING. May I add it was his first time making turkey and he stole the show. Thank you ladies you guys are awesome. Cheers to happiness and health in the new year to come. Xoxo ❤
Loved this video! Thanks for being vulnerabile too about wanting to grow closer to God. Praying for you on this journey - and saving this recipe for when it's tortilla time!
I wanted to share with you that I made this 2 days ago and it was done right, delicious, soft and I’m very proud of myself from learning it from you. Ty so much. After 26 years of attempting to make this for my Hispanic husband, I finally succeeded. I just want to say, I’m very grateful for your videos, your time your shared to make sure it’s done right and the laughter, stories you bring along with it.
I recently started making tortillas a couple months ago, they’d come out good but some times I felt like I lost touch if I didn’t keep doing them every week. But this recipe has been the best I’ve used! They came out so good! Thank you ❤️❤️
I was convinced I could not make tortillas to save my life girl. I tried this recipe and I was completely blown away by how perfect they came out. I definitely took my time kneading the dough thoroughly and they came out absolutely delicious! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!
Today was the first time ever making tortillas and they were delicious! I moved to Montana a year ago and have been craving and missing these kinds of tortillas (and all Mexican food) so I thought I’d try it out for myself. This video was so easy to follow along, thank you! Mine also weren’t even close to being perfectly round, but that didn’t bother me 😅.
I’ve made many tortilla recipes but this one, along with explaining why you do things, is a real keeper. They are exactly what I imagined a perfect tortilla should be.
I never thought I’d be able to make tortillas. After moving to Mississippi from San Diego, CA. I was dying for really good authentic tortillas to have around the house. They were so easy to get in SD. I followed your recipe and your wonderful directions/tips and tricks and they turned out AMAZING. My boyfriend (with high tortilla expectations, from SD as well) loved them and so many people were shocked I could make tortillas! Lol. Thank you, girl!
Hi …I just want you to know how much I appreciate your hard work from you and your team …the recipes you share and make easier by showing step by step have really made a difference in my cooking abilities… thank you so much
Thank you so much for the awesome tutorial. I'm a guy btw. Living in the southwest my whole life, I have tried a couple times to make tortillas, and have failed every time. You make it look so easy... I am going to try again with what I learned from you. Thanks!
I love how everything is just boom done and you understood the whole thing! And yes, please do it!! Let us know! I think I'm on my fifth or sixed "attempt"... lol Not unedible... but I've never had a fresh tortilla to compare it to! And I'm from El Paso! 😅 Sad right!
Omg steph your recepie is AMAZING HANDS DOWN, im probably going to gain weight but for anyone who failed any other recipe please listen to this amazing you lady she knows what she is talking about when it comes to recipes!! 🙏 thank you steph ❤
I’m an over the road truck driver. What I miss most is to have fresh tortillas. Thanks to you I’m on my way back to eating my meals. With tortillas instead of a fork or spoon. Gracias and GOD BLESS 💯❤️🙏🇲🇽
I made these today and we’ve almost finished them already lol I’ve tried making tortillas so many times and just felt like there was something I was missing. Well, I was missing something - lard - or in my case butter. I got a little excited and added everything to the stand mixer at once, then played the video for the second time and voila, I didn’t follow the instructions. lol. But I continued anyway and these were literally the best tortilla I’ve ever eaten. I’ve probably had billions of tortillas at this point BILLIONS. I did have to add about a 1/2 cup extra flour after replacing equal parts lard with butter (salted). I rolled mine out thicker than those shown in the video (because that’s the best I could do) and they still turned out thin and sooooooo good. Thank you!! I’ll be making these weekly.
Thank you for the shout out to the men out there that cook, after splitting up and being a single father I definitely embraced cooking especially for a athletic son who is 14 now trying to bulk up for baseball 🤦♂️, we do it to... appreciate your videos very much 💪food always looks amazing.
This is the first time I finally make good and soft tortillas! Honestly this is the best recipe and method. I am happy that I did most of the kneading on my stand mixer. But the dough came out perfect. Thank you!
Hi, so I made this recipe with the Armour Lard. You’re right about it being to sticky. So I ended up putting the dough in the stand mixer and gradually adding about half a cup of flour until the dough passed the window pane test and was smooth with a little bit of tackiness. (about 5 minutes in the mixer) I crossed my fingers hoping for the best as it rested. The dough turned out great. Super soft, pliable, thin ,and flavor was on point! I love you’re tortilla recipes. They are the only ones I use! 👌
I'm back and oh my goodness, they came out amazing and yummy! I used Crisco Veg Oil Lard and your exact measurements that made the softest dough, easy to work with. Not as thin as yours, yet! The tip on rolling a 'sandal' shape first, gave me nicely round tortillas. Thank you for this wonderful video! Warmest Aloha from Maui!
Thanks Steph for the consideration of us guys learning your Fabulous recipes! I really do enjoy making your recipes for my family even tho the wifey gets alittle jealous cuz supposedly I watch your videos alittle to much! But then I do throw it in her face when how much she enjoys eating the food you showed me how to cook! You & cloud have yourselves a Great Day!!!
Steph, I made this recipe tonight. It was the first time making tortillas. I've baked bread all my life (a long time!) so I was excited about how soft and lovely this dough was, not to mention how good the tortillas came out! Thanks so much for this video, you taught this old dog a new trick and my husband says NO MORE store bought tortilllas and I agree with him! Blessing to you and Cloud 😊
You guys exuberante warmth and kindness. Thank you for continuing to show up and share your talents with the world! Now off to get some tortilla ingredients!😋 I’ve never been good at making my mom’s recipe (she uses oil). But darn I’m determined to make them!
Steph, I love that you SHOW all the little things you've picked up over the years. Your tips and tricks that absolutely PERFECT a dish for your family. When I tell my kids, I added LOVE to my ingredients, THAT is what I'm talking about 🥰❤️
These are the best ever. I live near the border in San Diego and I don't have to leave the house anymore to get tortillas. These are flawless. I'm so grateful.
Latino here, but not Mexican. I love cooking all types of Latino meals, and I have an extreme soft spot for spicy, so Mexican meals are a regular part of my cooking regime. I was previously using another recipe which I thought was great, until i stumbled upon this recipe. The lard and proper melding with the flour and water makes this masa sooooooo easy to work with, I could never have rolled the previous recipe I was using out as thin and transparent as this amazing recipe. I am now going to make a batch of these each and every Sunday, for the coming week. Gracias, q dios te bendiga.
Greetings from Texas, thanks for acknowledging your male audience too. I'm new to your channel and love your content it brings back so many memories of when I was growing up eating all the wonderful comfort foods that my mom would make. Keep up the good work and great recipes, I will be making these tortillas (attempting to) because I never make soft tortillas. Que Dios te bendiga e Cloud e Familia.
I can't believe that even after all that food, and I know you worked hard yesterday, we still get a vid today?!!!! You guys are the best! And not just any recipe, HOMEMADE TORTILLAS?! Chica! I'm in bed with a heating pad. Lolol. I'm IMPRESSED!!! Thoroughly impressed.
Made my first tortillas today. Thanx for the recipe, they were great and I was pretty proud of myself. Your tips and tricks were super helpful. Keep rockin!
I’ve been looking for this kind of recipe, I’m from Sinaloa and we do not use baking powder with our tortillas de harina, all the recipes that I found have baking powder, thank you for sharing this recipe 😊
Thank you for making this video 🙏🏼 I have 2 questions. First, if you use butter instead of lard, will the tortilla last as long? Is there something different you need to do? Second, I LOVE your apron 😍 where did you get it! Again, thank you! I hope to make these soon!
I love your approach to Mexican cooking, Steph. You make the process easy to follow and I'm anticipating making a batch at some point during the week. You've inspired me. Cheers! Darryl
I made these tortillas for the first time today. I have attempted four tortillas once before and they were hard as a rock! This recipe made soft, really thin perfect tortillas!!! I was unsure if I would make them like you did. THEY ARE AWESOME!! Thank you so much for not only giving the recipe, but the tips made all the difference! Again, thank you!!! I can't wait to make them again
Best tortilla recipe in RUclips HANDS DOWN. You were so insightful, I had no idea the brand of lard I had was bad for tortillas. Butter made them so good. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Every year you and Cloud always go out of your way in making comfort food videos, so that you can help us put smiles in our families lives. You both are such selfless beautiful women, and there is never a dull moment with you two. You are so inspiring Steph and your videos have motivated me through some of my high and low moments in my life. With that being said thank you for all you do and I hope you continue to find spiritual healing within, although you are already a wonderful and humble person Diosito has a plan for you and your future! Happy Holidays beauties❤🙏😇🌹🌹
I am in the same boat!! She makes it look easy and I have all the ingredients in my pantry and refrigerator. Good luck. Maybe we can share our results!
Hi mija, I made your turkey recipe with the mayo and ranch. Needless to say, it was lovely! I don’t like to make tortillas but getting tired of buying them. I’ve decided I’m going to make yours! We adore y’all as well 💜💜💜
Stumbled upon this video. You did such a great job explaining the process, I feel like I can try these and they’ll come out decent. I’ll keep trying until I perfect it. Thank you!🤞
Thank you so much….. my grandma passed before I could learn anything. I’ve been trying to make tortillas for years. Especially because we moved to MN and there is no good Mexican food up here…. I follow a lot of your recipes…. ❤️❤️
They look so good. We have to be gluten free now. So still waiting to see when a decent gluten free flour tortilla comes out. I realize the corn tortillas are great, but sometimes one just needs a flour one.
My mom made homemade tortillas for seven kids plus dad! She would stretch out 3 dozen or so every day for supper. I refuse to eat at any Mexican restaurant that doesn’t make their own tortillas in-house!
Thanks! I tried your other recipe for my first time and it was great. I’m gonna try this one now. Can you freeze the dough too for later? Or to make a big batch? Thanks again! Your tortillas are the best. I’m a guy too so appreciate the lessons!
Hello, I wanted to make flour tortillas from scratch so I watched a lot of videos and ultimately went with your because I liked what they looked like after being cooked. I laughed when I looked at my current container of lard and it was Armour. When I use someones recipe I try to use the same brand of most of the ingredients. The main thing was to find Morrell lard. I luckily found it. Before making the tortillas, I made a batch of refried beans. I used the Morrell lard this time instead of the other one I already had. The beans were the best I ever made and the only difference was the lard. They were so creamy and didnt have a weird taste that Armour gives it. We made tortillas later that night. We make smaller sized ones than you did here but they were very good. I am sure each time we make them they will keep getting better. Thank you for the nice video!
These look perfect…I can’t wait to try my hand at it and with your great directions I think I got this! Thank you so much and happy holidays to you and your sister and your family xox
Whenever I get it in my head to cook something, I look up and watch as many videos on the dish as I can to get a good feel for it. Yours was far and away the best one for tortillas.
Just started making tortillas. I’ve watched other vids to see how others make them. A couple of them said to get the comal or skillet really hot and one even said “screaming hot”. Now I know why mine are crispy. Thank you.
This is mom's exact recipe, that she's been doing her entire life and they are the best tortillas ever. The only problem we have is that they don't reheat well, they almost get stiff and are not good anymore, so everytime she makes them they're fresh. I wonder what she is doing different so that we can't have some prepped already and just reheat them.
Thanks for sharing 🤗! Right when the tortillas are cooked I removed them. When I reheat them, they taste like they were freshly made. Hope this helps ❤️
Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Matthew 6:33 I can attest to that... all glory to God. Be blessed.💕

Is that like the fry bread they make tacos with it

Good to know ! Thank you
Great idea. Do you use the hook or paddle attachment?
@@abbynmjI personally used the paddle at the beginning and once it started to get less sticky I used the hook.
I ve been a baker for 40years and never made tortillas until today. Wow are they good! Your recipe turned out tender and melt in your mouth texture. Thank you so much!
Thank you for taking us dude’s in consideration especially us single dads looking to make home made delicious food for our kids.❤

Unfortunately, many people believe that all Spanish speaking people know how to make each others food. In my world, a tortilla was always an omelette with potatoes. Now I have a great place to send my friends to learn about Mexican food in a knowledgeable and kind way. I love flour tortillas, so it will be nice to try making them at home. As my grandmother always used to say, "Hija, hay que rezar." All the best for your journey. 💛
Thank You and Cloud. Appreciate you two Primas!
I can't thank you enough for this recipe, I traveled 30 mins just to get Morrell lard because I wanted to get these right for my Texan husband and he is THRILLED with the tortillas I made with this recipe. We live in Florida and can't get any good food lol I'd only made tortillas once or twice before and they just weren't right. Also a side note,while he's a grateful man, it's hard to impress my husband with food which keeps me on my toes since feeding people is my love language. So it means so much to me when he was just blown away by these, he says "well we don't have to buy tortillas anymore!" Thank you,thank you, thank you !God bless!

@@AyDeona1999 beautiful comment 🤩
Stephanie you look absolutely stunning. I love how she explains step by step how to cook her recipes, it makes it easy for a single dad like myself. God bless and much love ❤️
O
Very pretty lady .
I am sooooo grateful to have found this recipe! My husband is from Honduras and loves a good homemade baleada but my tortillas just never came out right. I even followed his mom and paternal grandmother’s recipes but they would never stretch out right or they would get rough and get cracks. I followed your recipe and my husband was in heaven! I was too due to how great these rolled out, kept its shape, never shrunk in the heat, and they even stayed super soft in my tortilla holder! I could hug you so tightly right now! Thank you thank you thank you!!! ❤
I’ve been watching and practicing the views tortillas for about a year now and I have finally achieved soft and fluffy tortillas. Thank you girls!
I made your tortillas and chilli Colorado. My family said it’s the best dinner I ever made. Thank you kitchen goddess
@@Rachel-ul8et great job !
These were legit the best tortillas I’ve ever had. Not that I’ve ever made. The best I’ve ever had! These will be in my permanent recipe collection!! Thank you!!
This is my second comment but i just had to come back and tell you how grateful i am for this recipe and your instructions We are enjoying shrimp tacos, they are so good on these tortillas! .
OMG, OMG!!!!! Steph, this recipe makes the softest and tastiest tortillas I have ever tried. A piece of advice, DOUBLE the recipe. You will be left wanting more. They taste and feel so good :) I have a family of 6 and the tortillas disappeared within minutes. xoxo, you ladies are awesome!
Great idea!! You’re such a beautiful parent for creating these memories 💛they stay with us forever!!!
Hola Steph ! :)
Hace 5 años, encontré tu canal cuando solamente quería una receta para salsa. Pero tu pasión y amabilidad me traen de vuelto cada vez. Es maravilloso que yo tenga la oportunidad de ser un miembro de la comunidad increíble que has hecho. Espero que muchas más bendiciones te pasen, lo mereces. ❤
Que viva la raza 🇲🇽
Your flour tortilla recipe from two years ago has been my go to and the only one that has given me beautiful, flexible and tasty tortillas. (The video where you gave north to south directions for laying them on the comal). This recipe looks to have both a higher moisture and fat ratio to flour. I’m definitely going to try these. Thank you!
Thank you sooo much for this recipe. After so many tries, I finally got them right. I felt so accomplished!!! ❤
I use leftover bacon grease for this recipe! Perfect! It doesn't taste bacon-y. I just strain and cool it.
@staceycontreras4504 how much do you use??
My Native American mom did this, everyone loved her chumuth/tortillas. 🤤 I still can't quite replicate it..
Thank you for the shout out to us guys out here, meant a lot to me. Also for the words of encouragement. Think it's been a rough year for a lot of people, praying for you and yours this holiday season. 🙏
P.S. My Turkey turned out fantastic! Thanks for the lessons in cooking. 😊
So thankful for you, woman!! It’s taken years for me to get the nerve to do this! And you ARE the BEST teacher! Every time I go to try one of your recipes, I enter such a stress free zone! How freeing to not beat myself up when I cook with you!
Thanks again for giving me the confidence to mature in my cooking! ❤
My hubby followed your turkey recipe for thanksgiving and it was absolutely AMAZING. May I add it was his first time making turkey and he stole the show. Thank you ladies you guys are awesome. Cheers to happiness and health in the new year to come.
Xoxo ❤
Loved this video! Thanks for being vulnerabile too about wanting to grow closer to God. Praying for you on this journey - and saving this recipe for when it's tortilla time!
Thank you so much 🙏🏽🫶🏽 your prayers mean so much to me! Have a blessed day and a beautiful rest of your week!
I wanted to share with you that I made this 2 days ago and it was done right, delicious, soft and I’m very proud of myself from learning it from you. Ty so much. After 26 years of attempting to make this for my Hispanic husband, I finally succeeded. I just want to say, I’m very grateful for your videos, your time your shared to make sure it’s done right and the laughter, stories you bring along with it.
I recently started making tortillas a couple months ago, they’d come out good but some times I felt like I lost touch if I didn’t keep doing them every week. But this recipe has been the best I’ve used! They came out so good! Thank you ❤️❤️
I was convinced I could not make tortillas to save my life girl. I tried this recipe and I was completely blown away by how perfect they came out. I definitely took my time kneading the dough thoroughly and they came out absolutely delicious! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!
Today was the first time ever making tortillas and they were delicious! I moved to Montana a year ago and have been craving and missing these kinds of tortillas (and all Mexican food) so I thought I’d try it out for myself. This video was so easy to follow along, thank you! Mine also weren’t even close to being perfectly round, but that didn’t bother me 😅.
❤❤❤
I’ve made many tortilla recipes but this one, along with explaining why you do things, is a real keeper. They are exactly what I imagined a perfect tortilla should be.
I never thought I’d be able to make tortillas. After moving to Mississippi from San Diego, CA. I was dying for really good authentic tortillas to have around the house. They were so easy to get in SD. I followed your recipe and your wonderful directions/tips and tricks and they turned out AMAZING. My boyfriend (with high tortilla expectations, from SD as well) loved them and so many people were shocked I could make tortillas! Lol. Thank you, girl!
Hi …I just want you to know how much I appreciate your hard work from you and your team …the recipes you share and make easier by showing step by step have really made a difference in my cooking abilities… thank you so much
Thank you so much for the awesome tutorial. I'm a guy btw. Living in the southwest my whole life, I have tried a couple times to make tortillas, and have failed every time. You make it look so easy... I am going to try again with what I learned from you. Thanks!
Glad it helped! Please keep practicing and don’t give up 💛💐 you got this!
I love how everything is just boom done and you understood the whole thing!
And yes, please do it!! Let us know!
I think I'm on my fifth or sixed "attempt"... lol
Not unedible... but I've never had a fresh tortilla to compare it to! And I'm from El Paso! 😅 Sad right!
Omg steph your recepie is AMAZING HANDS DOWN, im probably going to gain weight but for anyone who failed any other recipe please listen to this amazing you lady she knows what she is talking about when it comes to recipes!! 🙏 thank you steph ❤
I’m an over the road truck driver. What I miss most is to have fresh tortillas. Thanks to you I’m on my way back to eating my meals. With tortillas instead of a fork or spoon. Gracias and GOD BLESS 💯❤️🙏🇲🇽
I made these today and we’ve almost finished them already lol I’ve tried making tortillas so many times and just felt like there was something I was missing. Well, I was missing something - lard - or in my case butter. I got a little excited and added everything to the stand mixer at once, then played the video for the second time and voila, I didn’t follow the instructions. lol. But I continued anyway and these were literally the best tortilla I’ve ever eaten. I’ve probably had billions of tortillas at this point BILLIONS. I did have to add about a 1/2 cup extra flour after replacing equal parts lard with butter (salted). I rolled mine out thicker than those shown in the video (because that’s the best I could do) and they still turned out thin and sooooooo good. Thank you!! I’ll be making these weekly.
You are the first person I've seen making the balls from your hand. My grandma taught me to do that! So easy.
Thank you for the shout out to the men out there that cook, after splitting up and being a single father I definitely embraced cooking especially for a athletic son who is 14 now trying to bulk up for baseball 🤦♂️, we do it to... appreciate your videos very much 💪food always looks amazing.
Our favorite recipe!!!!! Made this recipe with half lard & half butter. They turned out amazing!!! ❤❤❤ 🤗
This is the first time I finally make good and soft tortillas! Honestly this is the best recipe and method. I am happy that I did most of the kneading on my stand mixer. But the dough came out perfect. Thank you!
My husband and I have made these 4 times now and I am Obsessed. Thanks for bringing such an easy fantastic recipe to the table 🎉
Hi, so I made this recipe with the Armour Lard. You’re right about it being to sticky. So I ended up putting the dough in the stand mixer and gradually adding about half a cup of flour until the dough passed the window pane test and was smooth with a little bit of tackiness. (about 5 minutes in the mixer) I crossed my fingers hoping for the best as it rested. The dough turned out great. Super soft, pliable, thin ,and flavor was on point! I love you’re tortilla recipes. They are the only ones I use! 👌
Thank you! That's what I have on hand, so I'm glad to know it won't have to go to waste.
I'm back and oh my goodness, they came out amazing and yummy! I used Crisco Veg Oil Lard and your exact measurements that made the softest dough, easy to work with. Not as thin as yours, yet! The tip on rolling a 'sandal' shape first, gave me nicely round tortillas. Thank you for this wonderful video! Warmest Aloha from Maui!
Thanks Steph for the consideration of us guys learning your Fabulous recipes! I really do enjoy making your recipes for my family even tho the wifey gets alittle jealous cuz supposedly I watch your videos alittle to much! But then I do throw it in her face when how much she enjoys eating the food you showed me how to cook! You & cloud have yourselves a Great Day!!!
You should also watch "De Mi Rancho a Tu Cocina." She had some good recipes there as well.
I am so excited to try this! Where did you get your apron? I love it! I live in aprons, once I get home, I throw on my apron and I'm in my kitchen. :)
Steph, I made this recipe tonight. It was the first time making tortillas. I've baked bread all my life (a long time!) so I was excited about how soft and lovely this dough was, not to mention how good the tortillas came out! Thanks so much for this video, you taught this old dog a new trick and my husband says NO MORE store bought tortilllas and I agree with him! Blessing to you and Cloud 😊
Me too! I've mastered sandwich bread using my own ground flour. This was my first time cooking tortillas and I can't stop eating them.
I wish I could like this video again each time I come back to this recipe.
You guys exuberante warmth and kindness. Thank you for continuing to show up and share your talents with the world! Now off to get some tortilla ingredients!😋 I’ve never been good at making my mom’s recipe (she uses oil). But darn I’m determined to make them!
Do you roll the all the dough balls out & then cook? If so how do you store them between cooking each one?
Steph, I love that you SHOW all the little things you've picked up over the years. Your tips and tricks that absolutely PERFECT a dish for your family. When I tell my kids, I added LOVE to my ingredients, THAT is what I'm talking about 🥰❤️
What can I use instead of lard ? Where I stay lard is not available
These are the best ever. I live near the border in San Diego and I don't have to leave the house anymore to get tortillas. These are flawless. I'm so grateful.
🫶🏽☺️
After they are fried, can they be frozen? Or can the balls of dough be frozen?
Latino here, but not Mexican. I love cooking all types of Latino meals, and I have an extreme soft spot for spicy, so Mexican meals are a regular part of my cooking regime.
I was previously using another recipe which I thought was great, until i stumbled upon this recipe. The lard and proper melding with the flour and water makes this masa sooooooo easy to work with, I could never have rolled the previous recipe I was using out as thin and transparent as this amazing recipe. I am now going to make a batch of these each and every Sunday, for the coming week. Gracias, q dios te bendiga.
Greetings from Texas, thanks for acknowledging your male audience too. I'm new to your channel and love your content it brings back so many memories of when I was growing up eating all the wonderful comfort foods that my mom would make. Keep up the good work and great recipes, I will be making these tortillas (attempting to) because I never make soft tortillas. Que Dios te bendiga e Cloud e Familia.
I can't believe that even after all that food, and I know you worked hard yesterday, we still get a vid today?!!!! You guys are the best! And not just any recipe, HOMEMADE TORTILLAS?! Chica! I'm in bed with a heating pad. Lolol. I'm IMPRESSED!!! Thoroughly impressed.
Made my first tortillas today. Thanx for the recipe, they were great and I was pretty proud of myself. Your tips and tricks were super helpful. Keep rockin!
I was amazed at how easy it was for you to make those small dough balls. I will be making your recipe!
Hydrating the flour is the key for perfect moisture...thx for the tip I've been trying for years
I am making these now! Watched this like 5 times now lol I think i'm ready ha ha
You got this 🫶🏼
@@Viewsontheroad they turned out perfect and the hubby said I can’t ever buy store bought again! Thank you!!!
I’ve been looking for this kind of recipe, I’m from Sinaloa and we do not use baking powder with our tortillas de harina, all the recipes that I found have baking powder, thank you for sharing this recipe 😊
Thank you for making this video 🙏🏼
I have 2 questions. First, if you use butter instead of lard, will the tortilla last as long? Is there something different you need to do?
Second, I LOVE your apron 😍 where did you get it!
Again, thank you! I hope to make these soon!
I love your approach to Mexican cooking, Steph. You make the process easy to follow and I'm anticipating making a batch at some point during the week. You've inspired me.
Cheers!
Darryl
I made these tortillas for the first time today. I have attempted four tortillas once before and they were hard as a rock! This recipe made soft, really thin perfect tortillas!!! I was unsure if I would make them like you did. THEY ARE AWESOME!! Thank you so much for not only giving the recipe, but the tips made all the difference! Again, thank you!!! I can't wait to make them again
Best tortilla recipe in RUclips HANDS DOWN. You were so insightful, I had no idea the brand of lard I had was bad for tortillas. Butter made them so good. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Every year you and Cloud always go out of your way in making comfort food videos, so that you can help us put smiles in our families lives. You both are such selfless beautiful women, and there is never a dull moment with you two. You are so inspiring Steph and your videos have motivated me through some of my high and low moments in my life. With that being said thank you for all you do and I hope you continue to find spiritual healing within, although you are already a wonderful and humble person Diosito has a plan for you and your future! Happy Holidays beauties❤🙏😇🌹🌹
You give us such confidence to make our own flour tortillas. You are a patient gifted teacher Steph! thank you!
I tried your recipe tonight and they turned out perfect. Thank you for your step by step guide to soft tortillas. 🧡
Glad you liked it!! So happy the tortillas turned out perfect ✨💕😍
Love your apron. Glad you are connecting more to God and keeping yourself healthy in mind and spirit. Blessings from San Antonio, TX
Thanks!
Thank you for your kindness 💖
Thank you! I gave up trying to make tortillas years ago, but you make this look too easy that I plan on giving it another shot! 💖💕
Same
I am in the same boat!! She makes it look easy and I have all the ingredients in my pantry and refrigerator. Good luck. Maybe we can share our results!
Hi mija, I made your turkey recipe with the mayo and ranch. Needless to say, it was lovely! I don’t like to make tortillas but getting tired of buying them. I’ve decided I’m going to make yours! We adore y’all as well 💜💜💜
Stumbled upon this video. You did such a great job explaining the process, I feel like I can try these and they’ll come out decent. I’ll keep trying until I perfect it. Thank you!🤞
Thank you so much….. my grandma passed before I could learn anything. I’ve been trying to make tortillas for years. Especially because we moved to MN and there is no good Mexican food up here…. I follow a lot of your recipes…. ❤️❤️
Just made a half batch - wonderful and soft, going to make them into bowls and fill with goodness...thank you!!
They look so good. We have to be gluten free now. So still waiting to see when a decent gluten free flour tortilla comes out. I realize the corn tortillas are great, but sometimes one just needs a flour one.
Yah...carb free too!
I hear ya!
My mom made homemade tortillas for seven kids plus dad! She would stretch out 3 dozen or so every day for supper. I refuse to eat at any Mexican restaurant that doesn’t make their own tortillas in-house!
Thanks! I tried your other recipe for my first time and it was great. I’m gonna try this one now. Can you freeze the dough too for later? Or to make a big batch? Thanks again! Your tortillas are the best. I’m a guy too so appreciate the lessons!
The pink flower embroidered top is beautiful!
Hello, I wanted to make flour tortillas from scratch so I watched a lot of videos and ultimately went with your because I liked what they looked like after being cooked. I laughed when I looked at my current container of lard and it was Armour. When I use someones recipe I try to use the same brand of most of the ingredients. The main thing was to find Morrell lard. I luckily found it. Before making the tortillas, I made a batch of refried beans. I used the Morrell lard this time instead of the other one I already had. The beans were the best I ever made and the only difference was the lard. They were so creamy and didnt have a weird taste that Armour gives it. We made tortillas later that night. We make smaller sized ones than you did here but they were very good. I am sure each time we make them they will keep getting better.
Thank you for the nice video!
Steph your apron is gorgeous! 😍 Hope you and Cloud and your families had a blessed Thanksgiving! 🙌
These look perfect…I can’t wait to try my hand at it and with your great directions I think I got this! Thank you so much and happy holidays to you and your sister and your family xox
Just made mine and they are sooo delish muchas gracias Steph blessings on you💜💜 tried to input a pic but don’t know how they are soooo soft 😍
Whenever I get it in my head to cook something, I look up and watch as many videos on the dish as I can to get a good feel for it. Yours was far and away the best one for tortillas.
Just started making tortillas. I’ve watched other vids to see how others make them. A couple of them said to get the comal or skillet really hot and one even said “screaming hot”. Now I know why mine are crispy. Thank you.
This is mom's exact recipe, that she's been doing her entire life and they are the best tortillas ever. The only problem we have is that they don't reheat well, they almost get stiff and are not good anymore, so everytime she makes them they're fresh. I wonder what she is doing different so that we can't have some prepped already and just reheat them.
Thanks for sharing 🤗! Right when the tortillas are cooked I removed them. When I reheat them, they taste like they were freshly made. Hope this helps ❤️
1.01 million!
🙏🏽💕✨we are so thankful for y’all
Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
Matthew 6:33
I can attest to that... all glory to God. Be blessed.💕
❤
Easily the best recipe I've come across, exactly what I needed. These turned out amazing!
I have made her tortilla recipe a 100x... PERFECT every time!!
