You slow-cooked the most perfect taco meat all day long, and now, the house smells amazing, the avocado is freshly diced, the shredded cheese is ready to be sprinkled over the meat, and, wait. You forgot to buy tortillas. Sigh.<\/em> We’ve all been there. Luckily, homemade tortillas are one of many pantry staples you can make at home<\/a>. Your cast-iron skillet (along with flour, water and oil) will save taco night and give you beautifully browned, soft tortilla shells.<\/p>\n This recipe is for making flour tortillas from scratch. If you like your taco fillings inside soft corn shells, check out our tutorial for making corn tortillas<\/a>. And who knows, you may stop buying all your tortillas from the store once you discover how easy they are to make at home.<\/p>\n In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Stir in the water and oil.<\/p>\n Turn the loosely formed dough onto a floured surface. Knead it until a smooth dough forms, 10 to 12 times, adding a little more flour or water if needed. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes.<\/p>\n Once the dough has had time to rest, divide it evenly into eight portions.<\/p>\n On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a 7-inch circle.<\/p>\n Editor’s Note: <\/em>The dough should be quite thin, but not thin enough that holes begin to appear from stretching too far.<\/p>\n In a greased and hot cast-iron skillet (or other heavy-bottomed skillet), cook the tortillas over medium heat until lightly browned, about one minute on each side. Serve warm.<\/p>\n Refrigerating tortillas<\/a> isn’t exactly necessary, but it will help them last longer. Since these tortillas are homemade, they might go bad quicker than the store-bought tortillas you’re used to keeping on your counter. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.<\/p>\n Just like you can freeze bread, you can also freeze tortillas<\/a>! Allow your homemade tortillas to completely cool, then store them between layers of parchment. Wrap tightly, and store in the freezer for up to six months.<\/p>\n No, you don’t need a tortilla press (tortilladora<\/em>) to make this tortilla recipe. The tortilla press is a handy Mexican cooking tool<\/a> that creates uniform, round, thin tortillas, but a rolling pin will work if that’s what you’ve got.<\/p>\n Tortillas may not puff up if they are too thick or are cooked on a low temperature. Aim to roll thin, even 7-inch dough rounds and cook them over medium heat.<\/p>\n Flour tortillas can be used in many recipes, like cheesy quesadillas<\/a>,\u00a0fold-over tortilla bake<\/a>, or pretty ham pinwheels. And don\u2019t forget classic tacos made with\u00a0seasoned taco meat<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Beautifully browned, soft homemade tortillas are just four pantry ingredients away.
