I just wanted to THANK you all for your loyalty and lovely comments! I have to confess, I started making these videos with my Mom (Ofelia) for myself and my children. I know a lot of people don't get to pass down recipes or have the ability to learn to cook from their parents. I wanted to document our traditions so that I, my kids or my Grandchildren can see their Nani and learn directly from her. Thank you all for joining us in the kitchen and being a part of our family. It is truly a blessing to be able to invite you all in and share our memories with you. She is your Mom as well, if you were here, she would treat you as if you were... Peace and Love, Maria
I enjoyed your video so much, Maria, especially the talk and laughter between you and your mother. What a wonderful treasure you are creating for your family to always have as a reference in the future. I would give anything in the world to have the same from my grandmother. But personal computers were not even around in her days. And I doubt very highly she would have let me film her. It was hard enough to get a photo of her. lol I've already added a broom handle to my shopping list. How long does it need to be cut, like your mom's. It looks like about 12" or so. Is that about right. Will you ask your mother if they need to be sanded afterwards or can I use it as is, after cutting? Thanks again! :)
Meat & Potatoes, Recipes and More! I Love Your Family. Your mother is so cute. Im an eyeball measure person to so that works in my favor. Everytime i try to cook from a box it never comes out or even a step by step recipe unless i just get super lucky. Lots of love from Texas God Bless and keep you.
I feel like Im washing a friends family home movies. I recently lost my dad and lost my mom 11 years ago...I enjoy and appreciate you sharing your personal family heritage so generously. 🧡👍🏼😊
Love you two, so sweet. My mother never liked to cook, though she does do it. Cleaning was her thing and still is. She was sure meat had to be cooked to old leather. If it wasn't for cookbooks - before the net- I would never had learned how. I really enjoy seeing parents sharing their secrets with folks. I have just the skillet for you tortillas. Thanks so much.
Finally, found the right recipe very similar to my mom's. Thank you so much...my mom never used measuring spoons always used the palm of her hands. God Bless you..
sammy dominguez hi Sammy it has been I ers 15years since I made these but I tried someone else's recipe and it kinda came out allotment rubbery and I used a normal rolling pin can u Gove me some advice mine came,out somewhat I thought:(
Thank you for sharing this. A great recipe and demo of your grandma's method. I actually got a little teary-eyed watching this because I could feel the love and pride your Mom feels for your family radiating through. Bless you all.
I love your mom. As a young kid I lived in a Mexican neighborhood. Skinny, blonde, and of German descent I was apparently under nourished in the eyes of all my friends mothers and grandmothers. I got stuffed everywhere I went as a result. In fact I had to run by certain houses because if any Abuelitas saw me they'd drag me in and feed me even if I'd already been stuffed a block away. Well, I never got fat and there's nothing like Mexican cooking and hospitality. For my first few years I thought I'd grow up to be a Mexican. Well, my taste buds did. Congratulations to both of you and that lucky little kid I heard in the background.
Thank you for your recioe. This is day w of homemade flour tortillas. My mum used to make them for us every day. Beans rice and flour tortillas. My mum has since passed away God rest her soul. This has certainly brought some great memories for me. And I know her presence is in my kitchen. Thank you kindly
My great grandmother Rita used to make these with papas con caldo and frejoles when I was a kid growing up in Texas in the early 70's. Thank you so much for bringing back those memories for me.
I've just made these tortillas and it definitely beats any other recipe I've tried before. Thank you so much for sharing this. You are so kind and such nice people. X
I love watching this over and over again..oh my...terrible missed my mom..Not just the traditional style but the laughter while doing the whole thing..Thanks for uploading this video, love you both..
I love your demo! A few days ago I made them and they were perfect. I will NEVER buy store bought again. They have three paragraphs of bad ingredients. These are wonderful. Thank you❤️
Thank you for refreshing my memory of my grandma making tortillas. She never use measuring spoons either, it was always with the hand or fingers (for the lard) I'm tired of the store bought tortillas. She taught me how to make green chili and beans and of course tortillas. She said I would never go hungry because of the things taught me. My wife and friends love my green chili and pork. She made hers on a coal and wood stove. THANK YOU for sharing. UHENIO ALVAREZ
Excellent instructional video ladies. I am a 60 year old white guy that has never tried this before and I think you were great teachers. Here goes nothing!
For the first time in over 20 yrs since my mom passed I felt like I was with family who was teaching me to make homemade tortillas. Thank you so much and God bless you all.
I'm a Texan also was born in San Antonio Texas, you made the tortilla dough just the way I was taught and still make them the same ,they come out delicious I love them . Yes I learned by my grandma. I also use my comal exactly like yours . I loved watching you preparing the tortilla dough and cooking the tortillas,reminds me also of my mom how both of would cook in the kitchen for 12 children of course I would be her helper she was a great cook. Thanks for the tex mex style tortilla .uuuuuuummm delicious AMEN
My mom always calls her food Tex-Mex because that's what is authentic to HER (us). If you make food and call it "authentic mexican" the critics will jump all over you. I'm so glad you watched it and felt good! PS-I have 27 FIRST COUSINS on mom's side.
This is so cute. Mom and daughter enjoying cooking together. I had a Mexican neighbor who taught me to make the ones shaken in sugar and cinnamon. I love this. Thank you so much.
This lady is great. She has a good sense of humor and she and her daughter get along very well. Those tortillas look great. Thank you both for making and posting this video.
WOW! I watched several videos of women giving their version of a Mexican or Tex-Mex Flour Tortillas and your mother was the most authentic. Starting from the rolling pin to the way she rolled the tortilla. My dad made my rolling pin out of stainless steel. He was a welder.
Hey Doll, I don't know you but your mom is adorable. I lost my mom to cancer in 2013 but I watch your video over and over. She so "Motherly" if that makes sense and really makes you feel awesome with her video presence. Thanks again, I'm going to try her recipe
OMG!! These are LIFE CHANGING!!! I will never buy another pre made store bought tortilla again!!! I was HOOKED on Old Ell Paso (they are good but SOOO UNHEALTHY) which is why I wanted to try to make my own. I've watch more how to make flour tortillas videos than I care to count for weeks now. Well, I guess today was my lucky day!!! I started searching again and came across this video. Something about your mom's energy grabbed me through the screen!! After watching 3 times I decided to give it a try and they are AMAZING!!! The only change I made was using coconut oil because I didn't have any shortening. They are SOOOO DARN GOOD!!! Thank you guys so much!! I am over the moon 😊😊😊😊😊💞💞💞💞💞
I have been needing a solid recipe like this since my great grandma Rodriguez passed this year, she had very bad Alzheimer’s but could always cook but never teach you recipes unless you observed closely, she hadn’t made tortillas recently before her passing, but now I’m happy I can wake my family and brothers up with the same goodness of fresh tortillas as I did.
Hello I love this it reminds me so much of the way my mother made bread. thanks for this recipe. peace and good old natural cooking go together so well.
thank you thank you!!! My dad grew up in S Cal, and when I was a kid he used to make corn and flour tortillas for us in Wisc. Dad has passed, but I have been trying to figure out a good recipe for years. Just did this and it worked! And it's soooooo tasty! I feel like I have a piece of dad here :)
6 years later and still going strong! Made this for the first time, and I am so excited that I can have fresh tortillas in the house now. You two are amazing, thank you so much!
What a helpful and delightful video. I am so sorry that some people were unkind in their responses. How I wish I could have made a video of my mother making her spaghetti. What a treasure I would have. You , your children and succeeding generations will enjoy watching this.
Awesome! My wife is Latina and she makes them but I know it can be hard for her after work so I've started to try and master this tortillas. The video was a big help! Now if you can make a video on rolling them out lol that would be great, I would watch it for sure!!
AW WHAT A GREAT VIDEO...HISPANIC MOTHER'S ALWAYS PLEASING THEIR FAMILIES W HOMEMADE COOKING...LOVE THE LOVE BETWEEN SRA.OFELIA AND HER DAUGHTER MARIA....TORTILLAS LOOK DELISH...I REMEMBER WATCHING MY GRAMMA EN EL VALLE MAKING TORTILLAS..COULDNOT WAIT TO EAT THEM..RICE AND BEANS Y QUE NO FALTE EL CHILITO MOLCAJETE....ALSO WATCHED MY MOM GROWING UP..MAKING TORTILLAS...AFTER WORK..WITH A GREAT DINNER...LOVE YOU MOM...A.P.
Love your video. You and your Mother are so cute together. You are very blessed to have her with you and I hope you make more video's with her teaching us life lessons. I will def make some soon. Thank you!
thank you for this video. I needed a refresher on this. When I was about 10 the lady that took care of me was Spanish. She taught me how to cook, clean house, and dance. We made tortillas together all the time. I miss her so much.
Sounds exactly like Mom. I miss my Nani and many of my Tia's have passed. Mom is 1 of 10. My first memories were of her and her (7) sisters laughing, cooking and telling stories in the kitchen. Thanks... NOW I'M CRYING!!! Peace & Love!
I love the way your dad made you your rolling pin! that is so original and you have those memories ! I remember watching my paternal grandmother making her flour tortillas like this! thank you both for sharing! 😃
Hi Maria, I don't think I know you. I'm from NY. I'm 70yrs old and I'm from Puerto Rico. Love your videos and your mom! Thank you so much for sharing with all of us. God Bless.❤️👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
This is exactly how I was taught by my mother... awww memories. We were taught a little less baking powder, salt and little more shortening but same concept. I found if I use just little more then 3 tables spoons of the shortening they stay soft longer and warm up nicely. But then I make a lot more tortillas, I've got a big family. Thanks sharing and for the walk down memory lane. 😊
Thanks my Aunt is Comanche from TX and she cooks like you Tex Mex. There is nothing like waking up to the smell of fresh tortillas in the morning. Thanks for the Video.
I work at Rosa Mexicano Resturant in San Fransisco, Ca and the tortillas is the best. I won't tell them your recipe. Gracias y salud. You are the best!
She’s so cute... I like her . I am from El Valle de tejas I grew up there but my parents separated and my mom went back to florida with her family so we are here now but I miss Texas. So when I got married I had to learn to cook mexican and enjoyed watching your moms video thank you
OHHHH WOW !!!!! Thank you sooo much !! those are just like the ones my grandma used to make every day !! Dont worry bout what others say !! you did awesome ! A hispanic family spends time in the kitchen to hand down home made recipes and thats the way we were brought up as well ! Im still trying to master the corn tortillas lol but prefer flour with home made Menudo !! thanks for bringing back wonderful memories from my childhood !
This is one of the best videos I have seen. I laughed at when she said she was short. Well I live in the Philippines I am not tall or short. but here in the Philippines I am very tall. I have a problem with everything build being very low. Again very good video to watch very simple and down to earth.
I have come across your vlog, your mum was great she is completely natural in front of the camera. Thank you for showing us how it's done by a true professional
Your mom is PRECIOUS! I never realized how simple it would be to take my own tortillas! Thank you so much for the awesome video and give your mama a big ole hug for me!
Excellent! I was able to use this video and make perfect tortillas on the very first try! And I'm Irish! ;) I do love to cook though and I do lots of bread and baking. I used real lard for mine because I have a tamale recipe and the dough just doesn't have the same feel when mixing if anything else besides lard is used. as +Ann Hutcheson says, it's not a lot and moderation is the key! I don't use hydrogenated oils at all and I make all our bread and bread products as well as any other products that have hydrogenated oils in them. I noticed that you asked Mom if the bread was rising while it rested, and I thought I would offer my opinion/experience to explain in case someone would expect it to rise like a yeast dough.The resting period between mixing and forming when using a baking powder or baking soda dough doesn't necessarily rise the dough (it can expand a little but it doesn't need to) but the rest time does give time for the gluten to strengthen. SO, in case someone watching the recipe was waiting for it to rise, they will know they can move on. Mine rested for 15 minutes and it was perfect. Great recipe. Thanks Mom! :)
I wish I had filmed my mom! This is sooo precious that you have this video. My mom went to Heaven 22 years, 6 months, 30 days, and 8 hours ago and I miss her sooo much. That's how I cook, no measuring, using my hands. I cry when my food doesn't taste the same as hers and I wrack my brain trying to remember exactly what she did, I learned by watching. The DOWEL as rolling pin. Yes that is what she had. My mom's were perfect circles and we'd eat them right off the camal, she had to make 2 or 3 dozen. Thank You! for sharing a almost lost art and your lovely mother!!
Wonderful video on tortillas I have search and tried dozens of recipes from the web (lots from professional chefs) and the end product tasted gacho! Lol. Your mom's was the bomb!!! Love your hairstyle mom and your adorable you remind me of my mom. I called her after watching your video& were getting together tomorrow and making a texmex dinner and the star will be your tortillas. Thank you. Keep making videos. God's love to your familia
Your Mom is awesome! I felt such a lovely warm fuzzy mom vibe from this! I kinda needed it! The stuff she said at the end was like a warm hug! Thanks for creating/sharing it!
I just wanted to THANK you all for your loyalty and lovely comments! I have to confess, I started making these videos with my Mom (Ofelia) for myself and my children.

Charming and funny you two are, what a treasure. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
Judy Bicknell
Love you two, so sweet. My mother never liked to cook, though she does do it. Cleaning was her thing and still is. She was sure meat had to be cooked to old leather. If it wasn't for cookbooks - before the net- I would never had learned how. I really enjoy seeing parents sharing their secrets with folks. I have just the skillet for you tortillas. Thanks so much.

I'm so happy to hear that!!! She's like "everybody's mom". I wish I was as good on camera as SHE is! lol
Take her care of her...she's awesome to show how to make tortillas. Very traditional that's what we need..

You may have overworked the dough.

Thank you for sharing this. A great recipe and demo of your grandma's method. I actually got a little teary-eyed watching this because I could feel the love and pride your Mom feels for your family radiating through. Bless you all.
TheBigVisionCoach my eyes watered up, too. My mother gave me two aprons on her last Christmas. I wear one and keep the other just to have!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Your mom is so cute...I loved hearing what your abuela taught her. Bless you all.
I love your mom. As a young kid I lived in a Mexican neighborhood. Skinny, blonde, and of German descent I was apparently under nourished in the eyes of all my friends mothers and grandmothers. I got stuffed everywhere I went as a result. In fact I had to run by certain houses because if any Abuelitas saw me they'd drag me in and feed me even if I'd already been stuffed a block away.

I love the naturalness of the video. Like making tortillas at home with my mamá. I loved this.
I love the way your Mom did everything by hand. A great cook always does that. Thank you for the recipe. God Bless
And same to you!

Thank you for taking the time to show us how to make these. I am looking forward to trying your recipe.
They look fabulous, my mother used to fry the dough also, you make it look so easy. I must say I had the best ever picadillo in Texas. Thank you
Tell your mom thanks for allowing you to post this video. I made tortillas for the first time with this video and lol my husband was very impressed.
Awesome!
What an Awesome mom. I also measure and make tortillas just like your mom. I am 65 y.o., and I'm still making handmade flour tortillas. God Bless !!!!
Thank you. This Irishman will be making these for our Family. You girls are awesome. Steve, Plymouth, MA
WOW! I watched several videos of women giving their version of a Mexican or Tex-Mex Flour Tortillas and your mother was the most authentic. Starting from the rolling pin to the way she rolled the tortilla. My dad made my rolling pin out of stainless steel. He was a welder.
That's awesome! I bet if you're making pie dough you can throw it in the freezer first! (Not that I make pie dough... lol)
my mom used vegetable oil since dad couldn't eat lard.
i use coconut oil and they turn out just like the lard ones.
loved the video.
Thank you and your mother for sharing your family traditions. Blessings
Hey Doll, I don't know you but your mom is adorable. I lost my mom to cancer in 2013 but I watch your video over and over. She so "Motherly" if that makes sense and really makes you feel awesome with her video presence. Thanks again, I'm going to try her recipe

I admit, I selfishly started making these videos as an archive for family recipes.
I, for one, enjoyed this video. In fact, you guys seem like the kind of fun people we like to hang out with. Don't let the haters get to you.
Awesome! My wife is Latina and she makes them but I know it can be hard for her after work so I've started to try and master this tortillas. The video was a big help! Now if you can make a video on rolling them out lol that would be great, I would watch it for sure!!

This is one of the best videos I have seen. I laughed at when she said she was short. Well I live in the Philippines I am not tall or short. but here in the Philippines I am very tall. I have a problem with everything build being very low. Again very good video to watch very simple and down to earth.
I have come across your vlog, your mum was great she is completely natural in front of the camera. Thank you for showing us how it's done by a true professional
I'm going to try your mom's recipe this weekend. Thank you for the video; your mom is so sweet.
Your mom is PRECIOUS! I never realized how simple it would be to take my own tortillas! Thank you so much for the awesome video and give your mama a big ole hug for me!
My kiddos and I love tortillas so it'll be great to make than whenever we want them! Thanks for this
Thanks Beautiful Mom, you made this video 🙏🏼 blessings
Your mother is very sweet. Thanks ladies!
Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!!..
Thank you for the video.. I have officially learned how to make tortillias. And thanks for the, measuring by hand, tip.
Excellent! I was able to use this video and make perfect tortillas on the very first try! And I'm Irish! ;) I do love to cook though and I do lots of bread and baking. I used real lard for mine because I have a tamale recipe and the dough just doesn't have the same feel when mixing if anything else besides lard is used. as +Ann Hutcheson says, it's not a lot and moderation is the key! I don't use hydrogenated oils at all and I make all our bread and bread products as well as any other products that have hydrogenated oils in them. I noticed that you asked Mom if the bread was rising while it rested, and I thought I would offer my opinion/experience to explain in case someone would expect it to rise like a yeast dough.The resting period between mixing and forming when using a baking powder or baking soda dough doesn't necessarily rise the dough (it can expand a little but it doesn't need to) but the rest time does give time for the gluten to strengthen. SO, in case someone watching the recipe was waiting for it to rise, they will know they can move on. Mine rested for 15 minutes and it was perfect. Great recipe. Thanks Mom! :)
Gail Bender I'm SO glad it worked out for you! My mom is amazing, I'm still afraid to try the chicken and rice, but I request it all the time!
What a wonderful showing and a real delight to watch!
I wish I had filmed my mom! This is sooo precious that you have this video. My mom went to Heaven 22 years, 6 months, 30 days, and 8 hours ago and I miss her sooo much. That's how I cook, no measuring, using my hands. I cry when my food doesn't taste the same as hers and I wrack my brain trying to remember exactly what she did, I learned by watching. The DOWEL as rolling pin. Yes that is what she had. My mom's were perfect circles and we'd eat them right off the camal, she had to make 2 or 3 dozen. Thank You! for sharing a almost lost art and your lovely mother!!
Love you mom. I will definitely try this recipe. It is pretty close to how my mom made them. Thank you for sharing with us.
Awesome video I'm going to use this to make some for the wifey, thank you.
Wonderful! These look exactly like the ones my abuela used to make! ♥
Good Morning !
Thank you for sharing...Have a bless day ! 😊
Thank you for for sharing . My mom also used a broom handle to roll out tortillas . She did not measure. This is how my made them exactly.
Wonderful video on tortillas I have search and tried dozens of recipes from the web (lots from professional chefs) and the end product tasted gacho! Lol. Your mom's was the bomb!!! Love your hairstyle mom and your adorable you remind me of my mom. I called her after watching your video& were getting together tomorrow and making a texmex dinner and the star will be your tortillas. Thank you. Keep making videos. God's love to your familia
