Mmmmm😜 I Just walked in the door with a new bag of flour to make tortillas and I have a pot of beans to make refried beans and getting ready to make green chile. I bought fresh roasted green chilie today to put in my freezer. I’m a little excited because I haven’t bought fresh green roasted in about 3 yrs because my husband was SOOO sick. He’s in Heaven now, so in His memory I’m making the Works 😜👩🍳 I hope I can still make tortillas 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
My condolences ma'am., been trying to learn, is why I'm here and happened to come across your reply!, I know it's been a while, but do hope your batch turned out scrumptiously delicious🤗...
I have traumatic brain injury and your video is so clear and calming! I can follow you easily without my head hurting! Thank you so much!!!!! I just made your tortillas a few minutes ago and my kids are loving them!
Rachel thank you for all your recipes. Now I know how to make flour tortillas. When I was a teenager my mom put me in charge of cleaning our house. Today I keep my home clean But, Mom didn't teach me how to cook. As Mom to my two children I was a bad cook Bless their hearts and they ate what I put on the table. I now 75 years old and you have taught me how to cook some of your dishes. Althought, they are now married , I can show off what I can cook when they come visit me. I even bought an apron to feel like a real cook. Thank you for the way you teach cooking. Only, I am not as calm as you cooking. I still get nervous. Ha!
I remember coming home from grammer school and finding my mom making flour tortillas. she would make them at 4am to make my father's lunch and at 4pm for dinner. I would ask her if I could help she would say ok roll them. I tried but, they looked like states and then she would tell me go cook them in the comal then I would be burning my fingers and then she would say ok you go play.....
Oh Josie, that is almost identical to my experience with my grandma. She let us "help" but we could never get the tortillas to roll out perfectly. Yep they looked like the state of Texas. Thank you and Rachel for bringing up a sweet memory of my grandma.
Hello Rachel,. You are an excellent at what you do! I have learned so much from you! My sister and I have spent 2 plus hours watching your program this Sunday afternoon. Thank you so much for your time that you give us the viewers. Toni Mazur and my sister Jeanne Truhan, St Clair Shores, Mi
When I was a kid, my grandmother tried to get me to learn how to make her homemade flour tortillas. She would say, “Come learn how to make homemade tortillas so when I die, you would know how to make them.” As a kid, you never thought your grandmother would ever pass away anytime soon, back then. So, I would never really watch and learn. I would just help her make them. After she passed, I became an adult. I tried making her homemade tortillas from whatever memory I had. It would never come close to hers. I tried watching videos and whatnot, and every time I would try to make them, they never came out to how they were supposed to. A couple days ago, I attempted and it was a fail. I came across your video and I gave it another attempt before I would give up. As I was about to mix the dough I asked my grandmother, “If you’re here with me, help me to make these.” I wasn’t able to make them her way, but I was pretty damn close. I made MY flour tortillas. Thank you so much for this video because now I can teach my daughter and/or hopefully her future kids how to make homemade tortillas. It’s not only about how to make homemade tortillas but to make memories and leave something behind for when I pass. Thank you so much 🙏🏻
Thanks so much for your videos. I am 67 both my abuelita and my mother were from Mexico and I miss their cooking. I have rediscovered many of the dishes they used to make watching you. So many great dishes. My mother used to make an unusual albondigas it had hard boiled eggs, raisins and serranos in the middle of the meat balls. Love all the videos you have made.
I made these tonight after my husband went to bed. His family is of Hispanic descent and have always made Mexican food by scratch. I didn’t want at him to see if I flubbed them up, but I didn’t! Awesome and delicious! Next are your refried Beans and then Mexican rice! Thank you so much!
@@RobynDavis-sj9tcyall Crazy 😂😂😂😂 I need my family right there … they my biggest critics 💯🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿💪🏿💪🏿 if anybody gon tell you the truth ….. they will fa shoooo!!! Especially the kids hahahaha ..
Ok girl, here it is. I tried the shortening tortillas the other day. They were very good. A tiny bit salty, but good. I figured out why my tortillas were SO bland. It was the baking powder. I didn't think it changed the taste of the tortillas but IT DOES. I was putting way way too much. I thought it was what made them bubble up. But too much of a good thing wasn't so good. I have tried both recipes, and I wouldn't have guessed it, but I actually think I like the ones with oil better. I've always used vegetable shortening. My whole family ❤️ loves your recipe. My husband said "mm.. they're soft" lol. Ya I had that problem occasionally too. Stiffies. So I think this is it. I have found my new recipe. Thank you so much from my whole family. I love that it is such a simple recipe too. 😋 your the best. I refer to you often. Next one I'm gonna try of yours : those Refried beans girl! I love them. And yours look so good. Ok. Have a blessed day. Thanks again!
I recently started watching you and today I drove all over town looking for a bowl like you mix your Masa in to make tamales. You’ve inspired me to cook more Mexican with the confidence that it might actually taste good. Thank you for explaining things so well.
Put this recipe in your prepper pantry with the pan. Boy-O-Boy, if you don't have bread, this will be a lifesaver. You don't even need yeast. Thank you so much for sharing 💐🙏🇺🇲
Ms Rachel I want to thank you so much at 65 I've lost my touch as my son said, I just couldn't get it right but after this video I finally made tortillas that came out perfect thank you, God bless you ❤️
Hi Rachel! I have to say, I’ve been following you for a few months now and my goodness, the few recipes I I followed came out delicious! I’m asian, from Laos.. I live out here in Az and been eating Mexican food since I can remember. I love making it as well. I’ve cooked many dishes, but I’ve never once made tortillas before.But since you made this video. I will have to tempt to make them.. I will have to update you once I do. Thank you for sharing and may God continue to bless you with your special gift, of cooking! 🙏🏼😊
Omg perfect re recipe. Thank you for sharing you help me teach my son how to make them perfect just like I did before my stroke. I’m paralyzing my left side and I cannot use my left arm anymore so I thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.❤ I was able to show him exactly how I used to make them just like you do😊from Irvine California
Dear beautiful Rachel… You make such a fabulous dough… WHY through that extra little dough🤯😱😨😥It was still a great piece of dough‼️ I can’t stand to see wasting ANYTHING. Right now, I am so hungry for a piece of bread…. If I were at your home right now, I would BEG you for that smaller dough you discarded. I would have you make it into a tiny tortilla and I would eat that in one bite with butter…. That dough of yours deserves to be ALL used. It would be SO GOOD…that one tiny morsel 😱😨🤯😥 YOUR dough should be savored. I’m without all the ingredients to prepare tortillas right now…have no transportation …disabled & 82 yrs of age. I have to wait on a family member to give me a ride when she gets off work. Love your recipes.
Hello Ms Rachael Growing up as a military brat my best friend Irma was Mexican we were like sisters ❤ Well if we rode the bus home her house was closer than mine and her mom would make us homemade tortillas and I liked mine with butter And after school we were always hungry 😋 If I’m visiting my sister-in-law Alydea She will make them also & my son and I enjoy the refried beans with a little cheese …so tasty ! Yours took me back years ago and sparked memories of my best friend and made my mouth water too 😋 I truly enjoy all your videos Ms Rachael Your an amazing cook & awesome teacher 👍 Thank you Brenda
I love flour tortillas my mom used to cook them for me with carne con chili beans and rice because I used to love to eat burritos I would always ask her if I could have one before dinner with butter that was my favorite 😍 thank you Rachel you brought back a lot of memories stay blessed 🙏🌹❤️🌹🙏🥞🧇🎂🍜🍔🧇🍜🍔🥞
Ive always wanted to learn to make flour tortillas for my kids their all grown up now but its never to late to learn now i have a surprise for them when they come visit me thanks to rachel you made it so easy for me where were you 40 years ago i was in . So much in tears i was so proud of self this is lisa ill keep watching thank you so much for teaching everyone love you
Ms Rachel - Your channel is awesome! You COOK with love 💗 and I EAT with love ❤️! Will definitely make your flour tortillas as each of your recipes that I have prepared is always delicious! 👍
AND she makes it look so easy! I'm sure practice practice practice helps. Love that her instructions are clear and concise & how she says "anyone can do this!" Empowerment! I'll bet all (boys too)are good cook's! The way she often says "see" & "just like this" leads me to believe, she's taught a lot of new cook's how! She should start a class! (I Know that's basically what this is) but some people need a "hands-on" approach. I'm going to try this one out very soon. It Looks easier than making bread & I can do that.
Always wanted to make these. I even bought all the tools including a warmer a long time ago and never started. Thank you for doing this. In bedridden and needed this for family survival
We made some earlier this week after watching one of your videos. I found it difficult to roll out the tortillas while I was also trying to cook them. Ordered a press and it was delivered today. That should speed things up! You are so inspirational and build my confidence in cooking real Mexican food. Your explanations are always so good and it's like having my own personal teacher. I let your videos run as I'm cooking to remind me of things I may have forgotten to write down. You are a marvelous teacher and I am so thankful for your channel. Blessings to you and your Ron. ♥
Thank you so much, comments like yours keep me doing what i love...a tortilla press is used for corn tortillas and a rolling pin is used for flour tortillas...just take your time and practice and you will do great. I appreciate your comment. ❤️
@@7chellejann6 If you mean the press, I put the dough between two pieces of heavy plastic, so no treatment needed there. If you mean the cast iron griddle I cook them on, it's well seasoned and I just use it dry. I hope that answers your question.
Those look so beautiful and soft. Not only are your recipes the best, but everytime you say a Spanish pronunciation, I repeat the word, so you're teaching me that too! Thank you for your heart warming videos.
Hello Rachel, I just have to tell you that you have given us some great recipes. I just discovered your channel a few months ago and my goodness do me and my family love them. Thank you for the inspiration. You really should look into writing a cookbook with your greatest hits recipes. I know that people would love that and I would buy two extras for my kids for when they get older. 👍♥️
I just made your recipe and I cannot “Thank You” enough. I have tried several recipes and my tortillas always come out with one issue or another. I’m very pleasantly surprised that your recipe is awesome! Thanks for sharing!!!!!
Ms Rachel, You make everything with such Love. I can see it each time during your tase test! Quick question…Would you by chance have a video that teaches us how to make our own “Refried Beans?” I don’t recall seeing one, so is their a link you could share with me with instructions? Canned beans just don’t have the same delicious flavor. How I would enjoy cooking along with you side by side. Are you passing through north MO anytime soon? I just know we’d become instant friends…. God Bless You & Yours Rachel, Sandy B. 🙏❤️
Hi Sandy, thank you so much for your question, I do have a couple of them, I'll post the links for you. In my video where I make a SPAM and egg breakfast I also show detail instructions for refried beans, I like adding a smoked ham hock or bacon to the pot of beans when I'm cooking them, then I like to refry them with bacon grease and I like to add some KNORR chicken tomato flavor bouillon for added taste. I bet we would be great friends, thank you. ❤ Hearty Mexican breakfast (Spam) ruclips.net/video/9Gj8GYqN2e4/видео.html How to make refried beans ruclips.net/video/7pzYN69OWMo/видео.html
@@rachelcookswithlove Thank You so much for the hints and links. Looking forward to watching and making them. Bacon grease is good in everything. I fry my potatoes in it and my son & husband request them often! Thanks again for answering me back. It’s greatly appreciated! Bless You & Yours and have a Wonderful weekend! Sandy B. 🙏❤️
I always thought I would have to buy a "tortilla maker" apparatus to do this! Thanks for setting me straight Rachel.... you're an awesome Godsend to home cooks like me🥰
Rachel I've tried MANY different recipes and your recipe was the one where I was finally successful. I think my husband falls in love with me a little more everytime I make them!😄 Thank you
Rachel you are so pleasant, I feel so relaxed listening to your voice and watching you cook! You are so informative with what you are making! Thanks for sharing this video, I will be trying this recipe out!
I'm certainly going to try Tortillas, For one thing it's a natural exercise. Kneading with love and passion, A vital ingredient for the preparation. Thanks Rachel for sharing your tips, Enjoy your Sunday a Hi to Ron💞👌👍😁
I can't wait to make these!!! I thought it was a much harder process. That's why I love your channel so much Rachel, you have showed me how to make so many dishes I only got at restaurants because I thought they would be so complicated and difficult to make. I love your channel so much!!❤️
Thank you so much for your comment, I'm so glad my channel has helped you. These tortillas are delicious and easy to make and I know you can do it my friend, just follow the stepscarefully...comments like yours keep me doing what I love, blessings. ❤
Tried these and they are AMAZING!!!!! I've learned so much about Mexican dishes from you and your channel! Thank you! I'm going to shock my family with homemade tortillas and can't wait!! 🥰
Thank you! I have to try & make these. My son loves quesadillas so he eats tortillas more than bread. He was raised in Argentina where bread is a daily staple but he prefers tortillas ❤ Besos y abrazos Rachel. You are the BEST!
Rachel, I was so happy to see your notification and even taken somewhat surprised, as this is the very recipe that I use. Decades ago, while living in NM, my neighbor taught me how to make these tasty and easy tortillas. You brought back such happy thoughts of Letty. 💖
Rachel really does cook with love! I really enjoy all of your videos. The recipes are always excellent and the way you guide us through them is amazing! Thank you!
Rachel Kama I have been a chef for 40 years and never really knew how to make tortillas. I'm very good at Mexican food but you have really help me understand so many things about the Mexican culture and the Cuisine and how are the associates to the culture. You help me understand peppers, All t, Tortilla tortillas, enchiladas, All the other things to do of made and I wanna thank you so much. This recipe for tortillas I'm getting ready to make right now I wanna tell you I cannot wait thank you so much
These look easy to make I have seen some that take more ingredients so I'm going to try this they will be better than what you get in the grocery store ! ☺️
Mom always used shortening for her tortillas and I was never able to get the hang of it but I'll definitely give them a try again after watching this. By the way - love your apron! You should consider selling them ... 😉
Thank you so much for your comment, I've made alot of tortillas with shortening and with oil, and I think they're both delicious. I hope you get to try them, and I may sell aprons one day my friend. ❤
Oh sweet Rachel how many bazillion tortillas did we eat growing up....lol! I love you describing in your introduction to the ingredients the sound of your mama's rolling pin as that's a noise I too remember well growing up. This really is a perfect for flour tortillas and although I still have trouble making them round at times, they are very tasty. This my dear is a perfect tutorial on tortilla making as you are always the perfect teacher. May this new week that lays in front of us bring you and Your Ron great joy and even greater blessings. As always, sending you tons of love amiga.
Thank you so much for your comment my friend, all those sweet memories will stay with us forever and I can still smell them when I think about it. My dad always said that the shape didn't matter since they weren't gonna go down rolling lol!! As long as they taste delicious, nothing else matters. I hope you continue to enjoy them your way. Blessings to you and your love and enjoy every day.❤
"Hot" water! That's where I've been going wrong. Also, my arthritis makes kneading difficult... can I use my Kitchen Aid w/ dough hook instead? BTW, you have made me a super star to my family of authentic Mexican cuisine. You are always with me in my kitchen and I thank you so much for your knowledge and easy can-do approach to your recipes.
If you have a stand mixer, you can mix your masa with the dough hook….my husband uses the mixer, I like doing it the old way….but as I’ve gotten older, my hand do hurt after kneading and rolling them out.
The reason hot water was used was because the Flour Tortilla was made with left over Grease (Lard) the hot water melted the fat into more of a liquid, but it also helps the Baking Powder activate. I would try the Mixer !, I have one and I think I don't let it knead enough, I watch the mixer go round an round, but it doesn't actually "Push and Stretch" I've tried turning up the speed so it whips the dough and slaps it against the sides of the bowl, but you have to watch out because the Mixer shakes all over the counter, so put your hand on top of the mixer and let it go crazy for a minute or two. My Mom has arthritis too she's fine with kneading closed fisted, push then fold over, push fist, then fold over you only need mildly smooth dough, anything YOU make fresh is going to be better than anything store bought and I KNOW your Family would LOVE whatever you can make...I hope I helped.
Those look amazing, Rachel! I’ve made flour tortillas, but not for a long time. I bought a gorgeous wooden tortilla press last year, but haven’t used it yet. 😱 This video gives me inspiration & motivation to finally do so. Do you think avocado oil would work in this recipe? Thanks much & God Bless you & My Ron. Have a great day!
Thank you so much, I've only used vegetable oil or canola, so I can't say...a tortilla press works better for corn tortillas, I've never used it for flour. This is an easy recipe and I hope you give these a try. ❤
of course avocado oil would work, as would coconut or real lard. Rachel please make original version with unprocessed (not hydrogenated) lard for us purists, and have you experimented with whole wheat? thank you, so glad you are teaching us!!
DO NOT use a Tortilla Press with Flour Tortillas !!!! the gluten in flour needs to be STRETCHED ( Rolled or Pulled) I broke 2 expensive Tortilla Presses trying to squeeze the Flour Ball into a Tortilla. A Pastry Chef explained to me how gluten works years ago after my 2 disasters . Corn Tortillas are COMPLETLY fine with a Press, Corn has no gluten and that's the best way to make home made Corn Tortillas.
Hi Rachel, this was great timing, was thinking about tortillas this morning. I watched your video awhile back on corn tortillas ( my personal favorite) I got a tortilla press and even the same corn flour you were using. I got it about a week and a half ago but haven't made them yet. My husband prefers flour tortillas. I noticed you rolled them out, does that mean you don't use a tortilla press for flour tortillas? I love your channel, everything always looks delicious.
Hi my friend, a tortilla press is for corn tortillas, and flour tortillas are made round with a rolling pin, I hope you try them both, just follow the steps carefully and you will be able to enjoy both. ❤
Hi Rachel but also there’s a electric tortilla press for tortillas de harina too. As well the one for tortillas de maíz. Congrats for all you do for us ( recipes ) 💕🙏
I just want to thank you for teaching Me so much in the last few months. Growing up in the suburbs of Chicago in late 70s . There wasn’t to many place to buy tortillas, now they are everywhere. I always watched the ladies in my family making corn tortillas but never flour. I’m going to try to make flour tortillas thanks to you! I’m not going to stop until I get them right! Gracias!
Rachel. these are a work of are. they are just beautiful and watching you calms me in a way I cannot even begin ti say. Thank you for all you do. I have made several of your rice dishes and they turned out great mostly in part due to your step by step instructions. I am so happy I found your channel and thank you for not always trying to sell us something. Robin
Rachel I love the way you cook my grandmother Eva would always make these but she used butter and it was so good Rachel .your are also good I've just made some I hope mine come out good ,thank you for your recipe.
I can smell them! Mmmmm. We had a Mexican babysitter that introduced us to buttered tortillas! Then growing up we had Mexican friends whose mom's made tortillas! We were very fortunate to grow up where we did in the Nebraska panhandle
Hi Rachel, i just want to thank you for this recipe. I’ve been in Germany for several months and craving good Mexican food & flour tortillas. Even though they didn’t look perfect like yours they tasted so yummy 😋
this is the exact recipe my aunt gave me 30 years ago.. I never buy store bought..i love it.. this makes me happy ..she was a fantastic cook.. everything she made just like you do.. made with love and tradition..
I enjoy watching you cook, your passion for food and teaching is awesome! It feels like home 😊thank you for sharing your secrets with us. Not everyone had the opportunity to learn to cook from from their mothers or grandmothers, your kitchen is warm and your heart shines through. God bless you and your family ❤️
This is so well explained and the tip about pressing them from t middle out helped me w the shape. It Never before came out so round, and delicious! Thank you, thank you!
Hello again Rachel! We actually couldn't wait until tomorrow. So we made them immediately. They turned out perfect!!! Soft & delicious!! Tony & Sonja from Alaska 👍🤗
This is my favorite video. I really like fresh homemade tortillas and love the making of them. So when I can find nothing new to watch I watch you making tortillas.
You are the best no one explains the small things like when I roll out my tortillas they would shrink back to shape but now I know it’s because of the glucose see no one tells you the small things like that!! Thank you so much

Omg perfect re recipe. Thank you for sharing you help me teach my son how to make them perfect just like I did before my stroke. I’m paralyzing my left side and I cannot use my left arm anymore so I thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.❤ I was able to show him exactly how I used to make them just like you do😊from Irvine California
Dear beautiful Rachel…
You make such a fabulous dough…
WHY through that extra little dough🤯😱😨😥It was still a great piece of dough‼️
I can’t stand to see wasting ANYTHING.
Right now, I am so hungry for a piece of bread…. If I were at your home right now, I would BEG you for that smaller dough you discarded. I would have you make it into a tiny tortilla and I would eat that in one bite with butter….
That dough of yours deserves to be ALL used. It would be SO GOOD…that one tiny morsel 😱😨🤯😥
YOUR dough should be savored.
I’m without all the ingredients to prepare tortillas right now…have no transportation …disabled & 82 yrs of age.
I have to wait on a family member to give me a ride when she gets off work.
Love your recipes.
Should read: “why THROW that little….”
Rachel, you would make the best Home Economics teacher. Your instructions are so easy to follow. I love your channel. 😍
Comments like yours keep me doing what I love Thank you so much.❤
Hello Ms Rachael
Growing up as a military brat my best friend Irma was Mexican we were like sisters ❤
Well if we rode the bus home her house was closer than mine and her mom would make us homemade tortillas and I liked mine with butter
And after school we were always hungry 😋
If I’m visiting my sister-in-law Alydea
She will make them also & my son and
I enjoy the refried beans with a little cheese …so tasty !
Yours took me back years ago and sparked memories of my best friend and made my mouth water too 😋
I truly enjoy all your videos Ms Rachael
Your an amazing cook & awesome teacher 👍
Thank you
Brenda
Aw Brenda, thank you so much for sharing, I appreciate your comment my friend. 🥰❤️
You're teaching method is spectacular. Thank you!!
amazing video. a terrific way to eat inexpensively and so nutritious. A wonderful recipe for all homeless shelters . Thanks so much
You made them look easy! I definitely want to try.
You can do it my friend, thank you. ❤️
You remind me of my Aunt Ninfa she was a kind patient and amazing cook like you, she passed this year but she lived a long good beautiful life.
I love flour tortillas my mom used to cook them for me with carne con chili beans and rice because I used to love to eat burritos I would always ask her if I could have one before dinner with butter that was my favorite 😍 thank you Rachel you brought back a lot of memories stay blessed 🙏🌹❤️🌹🙏🥞🧇🎂🍜🍔🧇🍜🍔🥞
Thank you so much for sharing my friend, they are delicious and easy and I hope you try them.❤👍
Ive always wanted to learn to make flour tortillas for my kids their all grown up now but its never to late to learn now i have a surprise for them when they come visit me thanks to rachel you made it so easy for me where were you 40 years ago i was in . So much in tears i was so proud of self this is lisa ill keep watching thank you so much for teaching everyone love you
You are reading my family's mind by posting this. Nothing like fresh homemade tortillas 😋💖 Thank you for sharing the love! 🥰
You're welcome, I hope you try these my friend. ❤
You made me hungry 🤤
Yummy 😋 thank you so much for sharing. Everything you make is absolutely delicious 😋👏👍🙌🤝
Ms Rachel - Your channel is awesome! You COOK with love 💗 and I EAT with love ❤️! Will definitely make your flour tortillas as each of your recipes that I have prepared is always delicious! 👍
Thank you so much my friend, I appreciate your comment. Enjoy ❤
AND she makes it look so easy! I'm sure practice practice practice helps. Love that her instructions are clear and concise & how she says "anyone can do this!" Empowerment! I'll bet all (boys too)are good cook's! The way she often says "see" & "just like this" leads me to believe, she's taught a lot of new cook's how! She should start a class! (I Know that's basically what this is) but some people need a "hands-on" approach. I'm going to try this one out very soon. It Looks easier than making bread & I can do that.
Yum. You roll up the bollios like my mom did. Best smell ever is coming home from school and smelling fresh flour tortillas.
Having a stack full of homemade tortillas, what a beautiful sight 🥰
❤👍
I just love your recipes. Thanks so much. And your beautiful soul makes me smile as I learn how to cook new things at the age of 64😊❤ Thank you 💕
Always wanted to make these. I even bought all the tools including a warmer a long time ago and never started. Thank you for doing this. In bedridden and needed this for family survival
Thank you so much for your comment, I hope you get to enjoy these, take care. Hugs and blessings. ❤
Ms Rachel Love!Love! your recipes thank you for taking the time to share your recipes from home. 🙂
We made some earlier this week after watching one of your videos. I found it difficult to roll out the tortillas while I was also trying to cook them. Ordered a press and it was delivered today. That should speed things up! You are so inspirational and build my confidence in cooking real Mexican food. Your explanations are always so good and it's like having my own personal teacher. I let your videos run as I'm cooking to remind me of things I may have forgotten to write down. You are a marvelous teacher and I am so thankful for your channel. Blessings to you and your Ron. ♥
Thank you so much, comments like yours keep me doing what i love...a tortilla press is used for corn tortillas and a rolling pin is used for flour tortillas...just take your time and practice and you will do great. I appreciate your comment. ❤️
@@user-uq2sq5wg9b Sure! I ordered mine on Amazon - ARC Tortilla Press 10 inch, Roti Maker, Cast Iron Tortilla Maker
I see, I forgot about this one, hope it works for you my friend.❤️
Do you treat your comal before your first use?
@@7chellejann6 If you mean the press, I put the dough between two pieces of heavy plastic, so no treatment needed there. If you mean the cast iron griddle I cook them on, it's well seasoned and I just use it dry. I hope that answers your question.
Those look so beautiful and soft. Not only are your recipes the best, but everytime you say a Spanish pronunciation, I repeat the word, so you're teaching me that too! Thank you for your heart warming videos.
Well great!! So glad you're learning some Spanish words, thank you so much for your comment my friend. ❤️
Thank you Rachel, watching you make these tortillas reminded me of my mother in the kitchen. I love all your recipes. ❤
Thank you so much for sharing my friend. ❤️
Beautiful chef Rachel I love all of your cooking and baking and recipes. Love you and thankyou.
Thanks so much for posting this, Rachel. I've been wanting to make my own tortillas, and you make it look so east! Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome, they are easy and you can do it. Thank you so much for your comment my friend. ❤️
Hello Rachel, I just have to tell you that you have given us some great recipes. I just discovered your channel a few months ago and my goodness do me and my family love them. Thank you for the inspiration. You really should look into writing a cookbook with your greatest hits recipes. I know that people would love that and I would buy two extras for my kids for when they get older. 👍♥️
I love how you explain things, and how calm and reassuring you are. And how much you enjoy the taste test! 🙂
Thank you so much for your comment my friend. ❤️
I just made your recipe and I cannot “Thank You” enough. I have tried several recipes and my tortillas always come out with one issue or another. I’m very pleasantly surprised that your recipe is awesome! Thanks for sharing!!!!!
Ms Rachel,
You make everything with such Love.
I can see it each time during your tase test!
Quick question…Would you by chance have a video that teaches us how to make our own “Refried Beans?” I don’t recall seeing one, so is their a link you could share with me with instructions? Canned beans just don’t have the same delicious flavor.
How I would enjoy cooking along with you side by side. Are you passing through north MO anytime soon? I just know we’d become instant friends….
God Bless You & Yours Rachel,
Sandy B.
🙏❤️
Hi Sandy, thank you so much for your question, I do have a couple of them, I'll post the links for you. In my video where I make a SPAM and egg breakfast I also show detail instructions for refried beans, I like adding a smoked ham hock or bacon to the pot of beans when I'm cooking them, then I like to refry them with bacon grease and I like to add some KNORR chicken tomato flavor bouillon for added taste. I bet we would be great friends, thank you. ❤

Thank You so much for the hints and links. Looking forward to watching and making them.
Bacon grease is good in everything. I fry my potatoes in it and my son & husband request them often!
Thanks again for answering me back. It’s greatly appreciated!
Bless You & Yours and have a Wonderful weekend!

🙏❤️
Flour tortilla, frijoles, queso y una taza de cafe, desayuno tipico y bien sabroso. Thank you.
I always thought I would have to buy a "tortilla maker" apparatus to do this! Thanks for setting me straight Rachel.... you're an awesome Godsend to home cooks like me🥰
❤👍
Thanks for sharing your recipe,I will try it 👋👏
Wonderful! Thanks, Rachel!
You're welcome my friend. ❤️
Rachel I've tried MANY different recipes and your recipe was the one where I was finally successful. I think my husband falls in love with me a little more everytime I make them!😄 Thank you
Que bueno Angelina dicen k el amor entra por la l estómago 😍🥰💕🙏
I’m going to make these this afternoon with my grandson! I love everything you make. 😘🥰
I have fond memories of making these with my Son years ago...
Thank you so much, you can do it, I hope you both enjoy them. ❤👍
Rachel you are so pleasant, I feel so relaxed listening to your voice and watching you cook! You are so informative with what you are making! Thanks for sharing this video, I will be trying this recipe out!
I'm certainly going to try Tortillas,
For one thing it's a natural exercise.
Kneading with love and passion,
A vital ingredient for the preparation.
Thanks Rachel for sharing your tips,
Enjoy your Sunday a Hi to Ron💞👌👍😁
Hi from both of us, enjoy my friend, blessings to you, enjoy this beautiful day.❤
Thanks!
You're welcome, thank you so much for your kind donation to my channel, blessings to you.❤️
I can't wait to make these!!! I thought it was a much harder process. That's why I love your channel so much Rachel, you have showed me how to make so many dishes I only got at restaurants because I thought they would be so complicated and difficult to make. I love your channel so much!!❤️
Thank you so much for your comment, I'm so glad my channel has helped you. These tortillas are delicious and easy to make and I know you can do it my friend, just follow the stepscarefully...comments like yours keep me doing what I love, blessings. ❤
Tried these and they are AMAZING!!!!! I've learned so much about Mexican dishes from you and your channel! Thank you! I'm going to shock my family with homemade tortillas and can't wait!! 🥰
This is the first time anyone has explained the gluten process for me to understand. Now my tortillas won't shrink up. Thank you ❤️
This recipe and method is the best I have seen the textures are perfect just like moms, nice to see they are not looking like uncooked dough,
It is so relaxing to see you cook! Thank you for your videos. My son and i are going to make the apple fritters recipe you put out the other day! 👍
Yummy!! Enjoy every bite my friend, thank you so much for your comment. ❤️
Thank you! I have to try & make these. My son loves quesadillas so he eats tortillas more than bread. He was raised in Argentina where bread is a daily staple but he prefers tortillas ❤ Besos y abrazos Rachel. You are the BEST!
Rachel, I was so happy to see your notification and even taken somewhat surprised, as this is the very recipe that I use. Decades ago, while living in NM, my neighbor taught me how to make these tasty and easy tortillas. You brought back such happy thoughts of Letty. 💖
Thank you so much for sharing Letty, blessings my friend. ❤️
Rachel really does cook with love! I really enjoy all of your videos. The recipes are always excellent and the way you guide us through them is amazing! Thank you!
Nothing like homemade fresh tortillas 😋
Truth my friend. ❤
My fav way to eat a homemade flour tortilla is butter and a good homemade salsa, preferably green. The best ❤
Omgosh those look soooo awesome. We love love love tortillas in this household. You’re such a great cook. Blessings to you always🙏🏼
Thank you so much for your comment my friend, I appreciate it so much. ❤
Thank you Rachel Amazing very simple I love it I’m going to try this most definitely
You make it look so easy and yummy!! 😋
It is easy my friend, and thryvare delicious...I hope you give this recipe a try. Thank you so much for your comment. ❤️
Rachel Kama I have been a chef for 40 years and never really knew how to make tortillas. I'm very good at Mexican food but you have really help me understand so many things about the Mexican culture and the Cuisine and how are the associates to the culture. You help me understand peppers, All t, Tortilla tortillas, enchiladas, All the other things to do of made and I wanna thank you so much. This recipe for tortillas I'm getting ready to make right now I wanna tell you I cannot wait thank you so much
These look easy to make I have seen some that take more ingredients so I'm going to try this they will be better than what you get in the grocery store ! ☺️
Thank you so much, they are easy and delicious. Enjoy my friend. ❤️
These look like what my grandma and tias would make! Definitely giving them a try! Thanks for keeping our foods alive!
Mom always used shortening for her tortillas and I was never able to get the hang of it but I'll definitely give them a try again after watching this. By the way - love your apron! You should consider selling them ... 😉
Thank you so much for your comment, I've made alot of tortillas with shortening and with oil, and I think they're both delicious. I hope you get to try them, and I may sell aprons one day my friend. ❤
Oh sweet Rachel how many bazillion tortillas did we eat growing up....lol! I love you describing in your introduction to the ingredients the sound of your mama's rolling pin as that's a noise I too remember well growing up. This really is a perfect for flour tortillas and although I still have trouble making them round at times, they are very tasty. This my dear is a perfect tutorial on tortilla making as you are always the perfect teacher. May this new week that lays in front of us bring you and Your Ron great joy and even greater blessings. As always, sending you tons of love amiga.
Thank you so much for your comment my friend, all those sweet memories will stay with us forever and I can still smell them when I think about it. My dad always said that the shape didn't matter since they weren't gonna go down rolling lol!! As long as they taste delicious, nothing else matters. I hope you continue to enjoy them your way. Blessings to you and your love and enjoy every day.❤
"Hot" water! That's where I've been going wrong. Also, my arthritis makes kneading difficult... can I use my Kitchen Aid w/ dough hook instead?
BTW, you have made me a super star to my family of authentic Mexican cuisine. You are always with me in my kitchen and I thank you so much for your knowledge and easy can-do approach to your recipes.
Give it a try my friend, I know some people make them like that without a problem, enjoy! Thank you for your comment. ❤️
If you have a stand mixer, you can mix your masa with the dough hook….my husband uses the mixer, I like doing it the old way….but as I’ve gotten older, my hand do hurt after kneading and rolling them out.
The reason hot water was used was because the Flour Tortilla was made with left over Grease (Lard) the hot water melted the fat into more of a liquid, but it also helps the Baking Powder activate. I would try the Mixer !, I have one and I think I don't let it knead enough, I watch the mixer go round an round, but it doesn't actually "Push and Stretch" I've tried turning up the speed so it whips the dough and slaps it against the sides of the bowl, but you have to watch out because the Mixer shakes all over the counter, so put your hand on top of the mixer and let it go crazy for a minute or two. My Mom has arthritis too she's fine with kneading closed fisted, push then fold over, push fist, then fold over you only need mildly smooth dough, anything YOU make fresh is going to be better than anything store bought and I KNOW your Family would LOVE whatever you can make...I hope I helped.
Rachel. I love your demonstrations. You make everything look easy. You are a pleasure to watch and I look forward to trying this recipe. Thank you.
You are so welcome and thank you so much for watching 🤩🤩
Those look amazing, Rachel! I’ve made flour tortillas, but not for a long time. I bought a gorgeous wooden tortilla press last year, but haven’t used it yet. 😱 This video gives me inspiration & motivation to finally do so. Do you think avocado oil would work in this recipe? Thanks much & God Bless you & My Ron. Have a great day!
Thank you so much, I've only used vegetable oil or canola, so I can't say...a tortilla press works better for corn tortillas, I've never used it for flour. This is an easy recipe and I hope you give these a try. ❤
of course avocado oil would work, as would coconut or real lard. Rachel please make original version with unprocessed (not hydrogenated) lard for us purists, and have you experimented with whole wheat? thank you, so glad you are teaching us!!
DO NOT use a Tortilla Press with Flour Tortillas !!!! the gluten in flour needs to be STRETCHED ( Rolled or Pulled) I broke 2 expensive Tortilla Presses trying to squeeze the Flour Ball into a Tortilla. A Pastry Chef explained to me how gluten works years ago after my 2 disasters . Corn Tortillas are COMPLETLY fine with a Press, Corn has no gluten and that's the best way to make home made Corn Tortillas.
@@The_Timinator Thank you. 🙂
@@barneybearandlove6665 Thanks very much. 🙂
Thank you.. i was missing my Abuelita who made tortillas every afternoon. So good.
Hi Rachel, this was great timing, was thinking about tortillas this morning. I watched your video awhile back on corn tortillas ( my personal favorite) I got a tortilla press and even the same corn flour you were using. I got it about a week and a half ago but haven't made them yet. My husband prefers flour tortillas. I noticed you rolled them out, does that mean you don't use a tortilla press for flour tortillas? I love your channel, everything always looks delicious.
Hi my friend, a tortilla press is for corn tortillas, and flour tortillas are made round with a rolling pin, I hope you try them both, just follow the steps carefully and you will be able to enjoy both. ❤
@@rachelcookswithlove ok, I got it. Thanks for that, I was going to do both with that. Silly me 😜🌯
Hi Rachel but also there’s a electric tortilla press for tortillas de harina too. As well the one for tortillas de maíz. Congrats for all you do for us ( recipes ) 💕🙏
I just want to thank you for teaching Me so much in the last few months. Growing up in the suburbs of Chicago in late 70s . There wasn’t to many place to buy tortillas, now they are everywhere. I always watched the ladies in my family making corn tortillas but never flour. I’m going to try to make flour tortillas thanks to you! I’m not going to stop until I get them right! Gracias!
You can do it my friend.❤️👍🏼
Rachel. these are a work of are. they are just beautiful and watching you calms me in a way I cannot even begin ti say. Thank you for all you do. I have made several of your rice dishes and they turned out great mostly in part due to your step by step instructions. I am so happy I found your channel and thank you for not always trying to sell us something. Robin
Rachel, I tried your recipe 😋 and my tortillas came out very tasty. I grew up making them but I had to try your recipe. Thank you for sharing.
Rachel I love the way you cook my grandmother Eva would always make these but she used butter and it was so good Rachel .your are also good I've just made some I hope mine come out good ,thank you for your recipe.
I can smell them! Mmmmm. We had a Mexican babysitter that introduced us to buttered tortillas! Then growing up we had Mexican friends whose mom's made tortillas! We were very fortunate to grow up where we did in the Nebraska panhandle
I love making tortillas. I have such great memories of my grandpa making g tortillas and chile rellanos.
You are making me hungry. They look delicious. I will be making this recipe. Thank you ~
Hi , your video was a recommendation for me.. I love this,,can't wait to see more .
Enjoy my friend, thank you so much. ❤️
I’m going to attempt to make these tortillas. You make look so easy. Thank you for sharing.
She reminds me of my Douglas Arizona childhood when I would attempt to make tortillas for my family. Muy bueno
just made your corn tortillas recipe and wow, so delicious! I'm now moving onto your flour tortillas! Thank you Rachel, your so easy to follow!
Hi Rachel, i just want to thank you for this recipe. I’ve been in Germany for several months and craving good Mexican food & flour tortillas. Even though they didn’t look perfect like yours they tasted so yummy 😋
this is the exact recipe my aunt gave me 30 years ago.. I never buy store bought..i love it.. this makes me happy ..she was a fantastic cook.. everything she made just like you do.. made with love and tradition..
I enjoy watching you cook, your passion for food and teaching is awesome! It feels like home 😊thank you for sharing your secrets with us. Not everyone had the opportunity to learn to cook from from their mothers or grandmothers, your kitchen is warm and your heart shines through. God bless you and your family ❤️
Thank you Rachel - love watching your videos- thank you for sharing your yummy recipes. 💞 you are beautiful like my momma 🥰
I appreciate your sweet comment my friend, thank you. ❤️
This is so well explained and the tip about pressing them from t middle out helped me w the shape. It Never before came out so round, and delicious! Thank you, thank you!
Hello again Rachel! We actually couldn't wait until tomorrow. So we made them immediately. They turned out perfect!!! Soft & delicious!! Tony & Sonja from Alaska 👍🤗
This is my favorite video. I really like fresh homemade tortillas and love the making of them. So when I can find nothing new to watch I watch you making tortillas.
You are the best no one explains the small things like when I roll out my tortillas they would shrink back to shape but now I know it’s because of the glucose see no one tells you the small things like that!! Thank you so much
