- ■ If you live in a drier State you might have to use less baking powder and shortening, if you feel them a little hard, then use only 1/4 tsp baking powder and 2 Tbsp shortening...try which works best for you.❤
Tortillas are a sure thing in most Tex-Mex cooking,they are a great accompaniment to almost any dish and are the basis for soft tacos and burritos, and are a must for sopping up. Homeade flour tortillas are superior to store bought, they are rolled with a rolling pin and baked on a comal (flat griddle) one by one. Tortilla techniques can be mastered with practice over time. Five basic ingredients make the best flour tortillas; flour, shortening, baking powder, salt and water, and one of the best tips for making the BEST flour tortillas is to let your dough rest 15 to 45 minutes before rolling. Flour tortillas can be refrigerated for days without little or no loss of flavor.
INGREDIENTS
3 C. All Purpose Flour
1/2 tsp Baking Powder
1 & 3/4 tsp salt
3 Tbsp shortening
1 C. hot water (not to burn you)
■ Depending on where you live, you might have to make an adjustment with baking powder and shortening if they are a little hard on you...use 1/4 the baking powder istead of 1/2 tsp and 2 Tbsp shortening instead of 3...I adjust between Texas and Ohio. ❤

Rachel.. I was 5 years old when I learned to make masa. By the end of the year, my chore after school was to make 1 dozen tortillas for supper, every day! By age 6 I could spin out tortillas like you do now, and they no longer looked like Texas or Florida! Then I'd go to my grandma's and make two dozen for her about 3x a week I loved it, I learned Mexican cooking very early in life, and it served my own family well when I married and had my own children. I'm 73 now, widowed, but occasionally cook for my precious son in law, that loves Mexican food, especially tortillas, beans , rice, carnes con chili. God is good! Once more a great show! Thank you!.
Jesus Nova, I LOVED reading your post!!!! How delightful!!! You are an awesome person!!!
I loved reading this ❤️ thanks for sharing!
You must have very good memories!
I've made them with Lard instead of shortening. Which do you think is better?
Loved the beautiful story you shared. May God continue to bless you.
I once asked my friend how she made her tortillas so soft and delicious. She said, "If you think mine are good you should try my mother's." I asked what was her recipe. She said, " It's the same, but Mom thinks about her children while she cooks."
Rachel, you are lovely. You do cook with love. Thank you.
I’m going to make these today
Beautiful story about thinking of her children!! I love that!
Oh Rachel you reminded me of my mom, she would always give us one tortilla with butter and the rest were for dinner, my mom was so sweet and kind, i did the same with my kids and our ten grandchildren and two great grand children. I’ve done so many tortillas, not so much anymore.thank you.
I'm sure you were appreciated while you were serving them! NOW it's your turn! Be blessed ❤❤
I'm a 60yo Hispanic male. I once told my mother that I wouldn't het married until I found someone that could make tortillas like her. She laughed and took my hand and led me to the kitchen. She told me that she was going to show me how to make tortillas because I wouldn't find anyone that could make them like her. I never married but you make tortillas like my mother taught me. I may use 2 tsp of baking powder because I like a little more rise in my dough. Great video.
I love how detailed you are. Normally people just share the recipe and leave a lot of things up in the air for you to discover yourself. I love how you explain everything throughly.
I've just been watching this channel for about a month and I love it, some recipes I make like that. ❤️
I love you. I need to know how to find the things you make
Sweet comment, I try my best to keep up...thank you so much. ❤️👍
Rachel is my favorite person to teach anything I want to learn,she is calm and explains step by step what you need to know! Don’t you just love her personality? 👍👏❤️
you are right Margarete she is good cook and explain step by step how she put thing together
I absolutely love her! She is such a wonderful teacher and explains things so well. I've learned so much from watching and listening to her explain the items she's cooking. Thanks to Rachel and her videos, I've learned to make my husband's favorite breakfas t , Huevos Rancheros! It took a couple of tries for me, but he says they're wonderful. I can't wait to try making tortillas now! Who needs cooking shows when we have Rachels?Rachel's?!
I agree, love her channel and have learned so much!
Margarete, yes Rachel is a doll, I love calm people that teach step by step. I watch all her videos and although I'm 74 now I'm ready to keep learning, it's so hard to cook for one person, because it's just me and my little dog. When married I had a husband and children so I cooked in large amounts. Now it's just me unless I can share with someone.
Yes! I also enjoy her calm personality!! And her purposeful movements and she is very easy to understand ! I hav3 watched her a lot. ,
Goodness I love her content! It's her personality, her sweet nature, so soft spoken. What a sweetheart 🤗
And her recipes for Sure!☺
I know it’s like your favorite Tia teaching you with love and patience
What a nice thing to say, you made my day. Thank you so much for your comment. ❤
Thank you for your sweet words. ❤
Thank you for your support. ❤
Hi Rachel my Daughter was just telling me that she feels like making some flour tortillas so i hooked her up to your tortilla recipe shes gonna get hooked to your channel like i did lol and I know how to cook but i like to watch your channel all your recipes and im 72 yrs old Thank God for Rachel, somebody has to carry the torch my mom and grandma passed away already im next your recipes are a gold mine its a Art to know how to cook ,God Bless you Rachel ❤
My grandma could make tortillas like you , she had a big family of eight kids and taught them to do the same. She then taught me how to make tortillas. But when she died I and stopped making tortillas, making them hurt too much.... but after seeing you make these, the pain went away and I started making tortillas again and I donate my extras to food pantries for homeless people. Watching you inspired me thank you for you warm persona and smile😊
What's shortening please, I want to make these but have no idea what it is
@@AD-53 shortening is fat used for baking
@@AD-53 in stores in brand is Crisco
Reminds me of my grandma/ mom's tortillas when I was groing up .. I haven't had her tortillas since 2013 when she passed away .. ima gonna make these and I can't bet its gonna make me cry and remember her .. thanks you
Awwwe how sweet
You touch my heart Rachel ! I was crying because the way you made the tortillas remind me so much of momma 🥲 she just past this February in her sleep but one things I learn from her was how to make tortillas . She was 88 yrs old . God Bless you Rachel ❤️ RIP MOMMA .
Aww, I'm so sorry for your loss my friend, may she RIP, keep your precious memories of her in your heart. Blessings, comfort and peace.❤⚘
Danny... My own mother passed in her sleep in 2014. I still miss her terribly! Be comforted knowing you'll see your precious mother again when we're all resurrected. And yes! I still make tortillas to this day! God bless you love, smile and remember all the good things your sweet momma taught you, God's blessings to you and your home!
Miss Nova
Sorry for your loss.
Hey Danny,
I know exactly what you mean, My mom also past on few years back and do miss her. I remember when I was young boy watching her make tortillas being flour or corn made the kitchen smell awesome. I guess there's a little of our momma in Rachel cooks with Love as our momma did.
So sorry for the loss of your Mamacita. May God give you comfort and peace, and may God's perpetual light shine upon her.
My mom used to have them ready for us after school with butter or refried beans with hot chocolate on cold winter days. Delicious 😋
They wanted almost $5 for tortillas at the dollar general down the street. I turned around, left the store and pulled up this video. Your an excellent teacher, they came out great! Thank you for the inflation busting recipe!
Same here!!!!😺
Thanks just found your channel.... off to try...
My wife loves the way you talk ,& explain in a very articulate manner. I love my moms flour tortillas & her Mexican dishes. She tells me one day I won’t be around who will cook for you. I’m starting to write all her secret ingredients down, good thing there’s CZcams.
Thank you so much for your comment my friend, blessings. ❤
Watching your video brought tears to my eyes! I can so well remember the smell of fresh tortillas in the kitchen which my mother made every day. She would give us one with butter also. I never learned her recipes before she passed andI have NEVER been able to make good, soft tortillas. Maybe if I follow your recipe I can enjoy the heavenly taste and smell of home made tortillas. Your video is so clear and you are a good teacher! Thank you!
Aww, I'm so sorry you don't have your mom, recipe is a little different depending on where you live, if they get a little firm on you, add half baking powder and shortening. Thank you so much.❤⚘
Hello 👋 i hope you're safe over there? I hope this year brings happiness prosperity love and peace 💞❤️🕊️🕊️ all over the world 🙏🌍
I'm originally from Canada currently living in Key West Florida and you where are you from if i may ask?
Being raised with the best home made tortillas anywhere I enjoyed this video also. Most Mexicans I know here in Florida use store bought Masa. All you do is mix it with water and to me it was like store bought tortillas. Love home made ones. They are hard to mess up. basic recipes even if they vary give an awesome result.
You can do it but use lard not shortening, they taste better.
Isn't wonderful when you see something and it transports you back in time where you can smell and feel the experience as if it's reality! 💜❤💜
just like my grandma! i'm starting my tortilla journey at such an older age but i will be king.
My grandma passed away when I was young after being sick for many years and I was not raised with my mother for many years. I never learned to cook Mexican food till late in life. Coming from a family of terrible Mexican cooks I never learned to cook the food of my culture. I had to learn on my own mostly from fine chefs on You Tube like you who generously share family recipes tips and tricks on how to prepare traditionally and properly real Mexican food. You are doing a service to us all we must not let our culture die and there recipes disappear. Thank you.
Rachel, I enjoyed this recipe with you because I have been making tortillas since before I was ten years old and my elbows went down into a deep bowl. I made them daily for ten people so they stacked high on the table. We were poor so we ate refried beans and tortillas often and never got tired of them even today and I am 78 years old. Your recipe is the closest that I have ever seen to the one that I was given. I freeze mine all the time and they never stick and are always flexible. Nothing cooks tortillas like an iron grill or frying pan. If you use non stick they seem to shrink back to a smaller size whereas the iron pan causes them to stick a little enough to keep them stretched to the right size. I do not like store bought tortillas. And taco stands never have fresh home made tortillas. If you go to Arizona into Walmart they sell tortillas that probably taste just like yours. But here in Florida the tortillarias (places where they cook nothing but tortillas.)cannot compare to one home made tortilla like you make. I love home made tortillas and home made refried beans not canned. We use a sauce with chunks of pork that would melt in your mouth. And we pour it on our beans. My mother was Polish and her recipe for enchiladas was the best. My dad could cook beans and tortillas he was Mexican born in Texas and went about it the right way and loved this country. Enjoyed watching this.
Hello 👋♥️♥️♥️♥️
Hello Merienne
I did it!!!! I DID IT!!!! I MADE good tortillas! If it were physically possible, I'd do cartwheels!
I tried it yesterday and they were like hockey pucks. Dough looked great till I rolled it out. After MUCH thought about what went wrong, I realized they needed to rest again after I made the balls.
I don't know if it's because I'm in Northern Utah and it is DRY and high altitude. But today, after letting them rest for an hour between steps... I DID IT!!!!
Thank you so much Rachel! This has been a goal of mine for years. I bake bread all the time and just couldn't figure out why I couldn't get these right!
Yippppeeeeee!!!!!
Yayyyy!!!! Try using less baking powder and shortening as I mentioned in the description box and see how that works for you and dont leave them on the griddle to long or they will dry up...not to low heat either, and make sure dough is not dry.❤😘⚘
When I was in college, my boyfriend invited me to visit him and his family over spring break. He lived in a town north of Chicago, and his last name was an ordinary American name. So I was surprised when I went into the kitchen and his mother was making tortillas from scratch. I was fascinated since I had never even eaten a tortilla, much less seen how they were made. She told me that she was born in El Paso, Texas, she was bilingual (Spanish and English) and had been making tortillas since she was a child. I wish that I had paid more attention at that time and asked her to teach me more about Mexican cooking. I married her son, but we lived in Georgia and they moved to L.A. so we didn't get to visit again. Thank you for teaching me to make tortillas as authentic as my late mother-in-law would have done.
I find it interesting how so many cultures have created family traditions around bread items. My Granny used to fix biscuits from scratch and when they were fresh out of the oven, she would hand me one filled with a dollop of butter & send me out to play. Fond memories. Thank you for bringing that memory to mind after so many years have passed. Also the little bit if dough you had left that you set aside reminded me of my Granny as well. When she made biscuits, she would have a tiny amount of dough left. She would make a tiny biscuit that she said was just the perfect size for 5yr old me. Gosh, I'm tearing up. Good memories, thank you again. I'm in my 50's & my Granny has long passed, so it's nice to remember those little things that she & I shared. She helped raise me, so we were very close. I love your recipes, just subscribed.
It took me three tries but they turned out so good, thank you. I have set here and watched you on my tv half the day for three weeks learning from you I have made your Pork Tamales in red sauce, Chimichangas, Beef lovers Enchiladas, Everyday Salsa, Pozole, Chili Rellenos Casserole, Cilantro Lime Rice, your Seasoning, tomorrow it's Chicken Cordon Bleu. your cooking has brought so much joy to my Family. we live outside of Detroit and we haven't been able to go to Detroit to get Mexican food because of the Pandemic, now that I've made your food we will be eating at home.I've asked my Family to support you, you should see a lot from Michigan...........Thank You
What a wonderful comment my friend, thank you so much for your sweet support of my channel, I'm so happy to know that you have enjoyed my video's...God willing things will go back to normal soon for all of us...use a little pinch less baking powder in the tortilla dough if you want and if it helps, my Ron and I were so Happy to read your comment my friend, it made our day, let me know if you have any questions, and I'll try my best to respond quickly. Many blessings and please take care, thank yiu.❤

You are the best teacher. You make everyone feel they can do it.
Thank you so much, they are easy and we can all make them, I hope you get to try them. Thank you so much for your comment. ❤

I'm going to try them tomorrow .
Many blessings be with you and yours as you go . 🙏🏻♥️🌹
I know huh. I thought I would try one today but I'm always in a hurry. I got 2 of her recipes mixed up in one but it came out so good anyway. Lol
Nice
I learned how to do this with a friend of mine in Tulsa about 40 years ago. I haven’t made them in about 25 years. Thanks for the refresher! I think I’ll try it again soon.
I also have a video where I use oil, and that's the recipe I use when we're in Ohio, thr weather and humidity is different then when I'm in Texas.
Rachel my childhood friends mom tried to teach me how to make tortillas when I was 14. They always came out like rocks when I would try on my own and now I know why. Knead that dough and let it rest 😊 You’ve given me the courage to try again. I’ll let you know how they turn out 🥰
Hello wonderful woman
How are you doing today??
You are an excellent cook and Teacher! Thank you! Your recipe list has all the recipes of foods I love thank you again!!
Sweet memories!!!! I'm 54 and my grandma would make tortillas and chile de tomatillo every single day growing up. ❤️❤️❤️❤️🇲🇽
If not Gold medal
Do you ever DIFT THE FLOUR.
As a treat for my sons, I filled my flour tortillas with peanut butter and jelly and rolled them on up. They used to love them this way they thought they were the best and still do as adults. I could always get them to drink all their milk this way too.😉
That sounds way better than peanut utter and jelly with store bought bread
We didn't have bread. So tortillas was what we use.
Ooomg one of my greatest memories was waking up at 5am from the smell of my Grandma making tortillas 🥹
When I was a young child living in SoCal, the neighbors on the corner two doors down made homemade flour tortillas. I can still taste the amazingness of the soft flour tortilla in my mouth. As I recall, they were very poor and had no furniture in the house but their hearts were full of love Felix I miss you!!
You’re a GREAT teacher! My mom made tortillas nearly every day and yet I never learned or tried to make them on my own. I was really I was too young I think at the time to pay close attention to the details. So thank you because she’s gone now and I miss those wonderful tortillas. Hers were thin and fully cooked, soft, warm and always delicious! I’ve never had anything come close to how good hers tasted. This looks like a great method and I’ll give it a try.
She too would treat us to a sample at the end -sharing the way you demonstrated or making what she called “hard tortillas” for us when she was all done. Those tortillas were cooked a bit longer and cracker like and she served them with warm butter or occasionally with peanut butter and jelly then sent us out to play too. It was just something to make us feel extra special--something we’d always wait for…
Thanks for sharing I’ve enjoyed your videos! I will definitely look for more!
You remind me of my own regret of never learning from my Dad, a butcher by trade. I never learned how to cut up a whole chicken, sharpen a knife or even how to carve a roast or turkey. If I had asked him, he would have been happy to teach me. It's too late once these skilled people are gone. Just sayin'. ✌️
Memories of my Mom making tortillas, I tried a couple of times but they were more like cracked. I'm going to try you recipe tomorrow for my grandchildren. Thank you
Brings back memories of my grandma making tortillas on her comal and all the buttered tortillas she'd give us. Wonderful video.
Mine turned out horrible.
@@charliemolis3951 Try again. Don't give up! Be sure to really watch her hands AND listen to her words. You CAN make these tortillas, Charlie Molis!
Your introduction is right to the point and you get started cooking. I love love love love watching you and I found you by accident. I’m so glad.
Just want to say my sincerely thanks for helping me making the real tortillas.. if all people like you ... the world will go round
I think of my old friends fondly when I make their recipes from long ago. My tortillas are turning out great thanks to you! Making them reminds me of a trip I took with a coworker friend 46 years ago to stay with her family in a small town in New Mexico (from Washington). I love the memory of her sweet mother standing at the stove cooking tortillas, smiling as her brood laughed around the kitchen table. Thank you Rachel!
Aww, what a sweet memory, I read this twice and I felt it too. Thank you.❤

When I was a teenager I had a Mexican girlfriend we always went to her house when we got off the school bus her sweet mom always had fresh tortillas on the table I sure miss them days thank you so much Rachel for bringing back those memories .
I grew up with my grandmother making tortillas and they were the best. I learned recently from my aunt who lived with my grandmother that YOU CAN SAVE PART OF THE DOUGH in cling wrap and then put in a zip lock bag and take out the next day and let get to room temp and make the remainder of the tortillas if you don’t want them all the same day because they are so much better fresh. SHE ALSO SAID YOU CAN FREEZE THE DOUGH AND LET IT DEFROST AND COME TO ROOM TEMP AND MAKE TORTILLAS… I tried the freeze method and it today and it worked great!!!! She said don’t leave the dough too long in the fridge but I think it is great you can do that.
By far, this is one of the most enjoyable cooking videos I've seen in a while. I love how easily you provide instructions. Thank you for the wonderful tutorial and for bringing back wonderful childhood memories. Rachel truly cooks with love. Gracias!!
Hola Raquel! Just to tell you that I enjoy your recipes. My mom was a pro on doing this without a recipe. I always observe her doing them but, my masa never came out. I'm trying this receipe tonight.
I used to have to make 3 dozen tortillas everyday after school .. starting at around 6th grade. No measuring or anything! I’ve tried a good 10 times since I got married ... no go, no good 😞. I like the process and I see where I have probably goofed. I’m going to try this again. I enjoyed your video very much... I just might call you Tia! 💜😋😂
Aww, thank you, I hope it works out for you, follow the steps as close as possible and I think you'll be happy with it, please let me know how it turns out. Thank you so much for your comment and support of my channel. ❤
@Melissa Flores I did the same thing in the 6th grade as far as I can remember, and no measuring, but as I got older and started buying them, they didn’t come out as good. Gotta practice more I guess. Nothing like fresh homemade tortillas. I love this lady and her channel. She has the sweetest personality too! ❤️

Not because it’s my mom but she makes good flour tortillas ❤ I asked her for the recipe and she said, I cannot give you measurements just watch 😂 and till this day I cannot make the tortillas like hers. Practice makes perfect so I will keep trying.
😂 i hear you that's how my mom showed me just watch & learn, and you put this much see it's easy😅
I have made flour tortillas using other recipes and they were pretty good. But, this recipe out does them all. My family goes on and on about how good these are . Thanks Rachel
good morning Sherri Rulz how're you doing today and how is the family
Very cool Rachel! My mom was a chef/Baker from Germany. She brought us in the kitchen very young teaching us European cooking. My friends mom was amazing at Mexican cooking... So she taught me in grade school and I taught her recipes my mom taught me. I love to learn new ways. You are awesome the way you teach! Thank you!
Hello dear❤️🌹
good morning Christine how're you doing today and how is the family
Our neighbor Vickie is Mexican and made delicious food. She always made tortillas and tomalies and would share with us. She moved to Nebraska and we moved from Ohio to Florida where we now live. Really miss our good friend who taught much. Sharon and Bill
I made these for dinner yesterday and they were spot on! My family loved them and the everyday salsa recipe as well.Tasty and nutritious,home made goodness.Bless you dear Rachel!

HI Rachel! I made your tortillas a couple weeks ago. It was the first time ever making them and they turned out so good thanks to your pleasant, patient and precise instruction. I can't imagine buttering up a store bought tortilla and enjoying it like I did these! There is just no comparison so thank you for sharing your knowledge. (I just took cinnamon rolls out of the oven, can't wait for them to cool!)
I love making tortillas. I love eating tortillas. 😊
Thank you Rachel, I started making flour tortillas by age 13, my mom taught me how to make them, and I am proud to say that they were always nice and soft....brings back many memories of being in the kitchen with mom..
I'm so glad you explained the role out process. It makes it so much easier.
Hello Marie!
Beautiful
Hi Maria. Actually all dough is correctly rolled out from the center outward as she does... this way.
Rachel, you are thoroughly detailed when you explain the your techniques in cooking, baking. The fact that your tortillas are still soft. After storing them in the fridge is what I have been searching for. I will be making these.
How you spread the butter on the tortilla brings memories of when my mother used to make them early morning, and I would run and grab a warm tortilla and spread the butter and enjoy! Sometimes I would spread homemade Chile my mother would make also. Thank you for the memories! GOD Bless! ❤
Thank you for showing a recipe. My mon taught us just to make them. But my kids want recipes. I've told my grand-daughter over the phone she did a good job, very proud of her.Thanks again. I'm going to tell her to watch your show.
Yup, it’s the truth , this recipe makes me a official tortilla maker! Finally thank you. It’s the step by step that makes a difference, Gracias!
Yayyy!! I love success stories like this, I know tortillas can be tricky, but you have now mastered it, it's ok to use a little less on the baking powder, but not ok to use more than directed and always knead very very well and let it sit covered for awhile and you'll always be happy. Thank you so much for your comment and support of my channel. ❤👍⚘

I loved watching this. The flour Tortillas that I buy are so thick and get so doughy in your mouth. Thanks for sharing the how and the "why" details. It makes a difference😀 for us newbies at this.

I love watching your cooking. My grandmother taught me how to cook and make tortillas. I really don't like going out to eat cause you never know what they put in the food. I'm learning new ways to cook with your show ❤
Thank you so much Miss Rachel. I just moved to Central Asia and have been needing a good tortilla fix. Tonight, I get to eat good food, thanks to you.
My dear friend was Abuletia to my children. Her tortillas were soft and delicious. She never put them in the refrigerator, but kept them covered in a basket with a clean kitchen towel. My kiddos would stop at her house after school and have cinnamon sugar tortilla for snack. They never got hardb she made them about once every 3 days because she sold dozens to neighbors. Thanks for the memories. 🎶💐💖
I love how you teach! You are so loving and kind. You make everyone feel like they can cook as good as you! I plan to try your recipe, thank you for sharing it!
I hadn’t heard the word “testal” in a long time. It brought back so many memories of my mom. Love your videos. Thank you for teaching us your recipes. Love your cooking.
I grew up in New England and was welcomed into so many friends homes where mom’s and grandmas were just like you. But we’re Irish, polish, Italian cooks who loved sharing meals. I went to college in AZ and worked with a carpenter 20 years my senior. He was a wonderful man and invited me to his home and I felt I was part of his family. Mexican American and he used to make breakfast, always from scratch, and his tortillas, pancakes, sauces were incredible. I tried a few times to make them after writing the ingredients down as he prepared a meal. My turned out ok, but we’re hard as frisbees after ten minutes. Will try yours as the memories are as wonderful as the food. I truly believe if more people ate meals with others it wouldn’t be so dysfunctional. Great memories of a happy life.
Beautiful memories are wonderful to have! 😊
When you put the 🧈 on the tortillas, you took me back to my childhood. The restaurants in my area didnt serve salsa and chips when Iwas a kid..They served hot homemade tortillas with butter. Then later on they served Chips and salsa and took away the tortillas!😮 I missed the homemade tortillas and 🧈!! Now Im going to make my own! Thanks Rachel!🎉🎉
First, I want to say "thank you" Rachel for your cooking video's, you remind me of one of my tia's who does all the special cooking.
Now, my mom just passed a couple of weeks ago, my family can tell you she made the best tortillas in the family, she would have to make at least an extra two dozen if not more for outside family members who would come by to get their share when they heard she was making her tortillas lol.
With bean and cheese with butter with breakfast or dinner, they were the BEST!
It looks like you make them the same way mom made them, it brings a tear to my eyes.
Thank you so much for posting this video, if you ever are in southern California, please bring me a dozen 😊😁😋
I got to watch my grandma then my dad make tortillas, but I never knew the correct ratio of ingredients so each time I've made them, it's been an experiment! Thank you!
Hello
I made tortillas since I was ten. My sister and I and my mom took turns. There were six of us in the family. We always had to have tortillas ☺️I don’t make them as much now but when I do they disappear fast lol. My recipe is the same as yours. Best tortillas to me ☺️Thank you for bringing up that memory ❤️
When I was a little boy in California, a wonderful lady from ensenada Mexico lived with my family. Her name was Rosie. She took care of my brother and I while my parents worked. Nearly every day that we'd come home from school; she'd have homemade tortillas waiting on us for snack. Like your mom, she'd brush them with butter and give them to us and sent us out to play. They were so good. I miss her so. This video reminded me of her. I've been wanting to recreate those tortillas since. Looking forward to trying your recipe.
Watching you make them showed me what I was doing wrong. I wasn't kneading long enough and letting it rest. My tortillas were coming out looking like all the states. You have saved me because my husband wants breakfast burritos and I don't feel like going to the store to get tortillas. You are an awesome cook and I am going to try your other recipes.
I will definitely try these since I've always wanted to make homemade tortillas. Your step-by-step instructions make this recipe very easy to do.
Really.... when you are done trying your homemade tortillas hope it will be delicious because I will like to taste from it😋😋😋
Hello
How did they turn out?
Hello 👋♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Best recipe of tortillas I've seen, just like Grama n mom did em,thank you, May God Continue Blessing You Always Amen
I love & appreciate you taking the time to teach us! Every single detail matters!!! ❤
You’re welcome my friend, thank you for your comment.❤️
Hello Rachel how are you doing?
Thank you señora Rachel I was born in Casas Grandes Chihuahua. I learned to make tortillas when I was a little girl on a wood stove. My grandmother taught me how. It feels wonderful to hear how patient you are with everyone young or old alike. I enjoy watching you cook all the lovely Mexican dishes. Muchísimas gracias!
Hello 👋 Nora. How are you doing ? Hope are you fine. I'm Mark Clifford and am from Denver Colorado, where are you from. You seem like a real country girl
I’ve never made any tortillas, but my husband loves the flour type. I’m doing it for Christmas Eve with white enchiladas! Thank you, Rachel! 😘💪🏼
"white" enchiladas??? blasphemy!
Rachel, I enjoy watching you cook. Thank you for demonstrating recipes step by step. It is very helpful.
I’d go next door and watch my neighbor Rosie make tortillas every morning. I always got to eat one fresh off the griddle🥰
Thank u so much for sharing your knowledge I grew up in foster care and I’m Hispanic and didnt have that knowledge we get from our mothers as Mexican heritage usually is thank u thank u thank u 🙏 u are an amazing teacher and your patients is so amazing as well thank u from my family to yours
Hello
good morning iris how're you doing today and how is the family
I just made these, just now, and they are Fantastic!. I've never made homemade tortillas so I just made half a batch. It was so easy and fast. I will never buy them from the store again. The store-bought ones have a bitter taste to me. These are just like fresh baked bread. My family already ate them all! Thank you so much for making this video!
Im from South Africa and i love your tortillas and the way u talk very friendly women. 🎉❤
My mother-in-law's name was Rachel. She taught me to cook so many delicious recipes. I enjoy watching you. Now I want to go make tortillas.
Rachel I got up early this morning to make these for my husbands breakfast burrito and they came out so nice… these are the best tortillas I have made to date! I credit it to all the extra “tips & tricks” you share with us from your experience. I’m in Texas and I feel that little tweak of adding less of 2 ingredients did it. Now if I can only perfect the shape🤦🏻♀️😂 I’ll be a happy camper. Thank you so much. God bless you and your Ron.
By far the best flour tortilla tutorial I’ve seen on CZcams. The small details you include make all the difference!
I lived across the street from my elementary school .
I could smell mama s frijoles de La hola cooking . I knew that my snack would be tortilla y frijoles before dinner 😊
Wow I am all grown up but for me , we were rich , cause it was lobster and steak for the rich and famous . But for me I was rich and , no, can’t afford lobster and can’t afford much steak but as long as there is frijoles y potatoes, flour in the pantry , I am rich 😊😊
I still make in my home frijoles de la holla . Now I am Gona try my best to use your recipe for flour tortillas. Can’t wait . Yummy!!!!
Keep on cooking , I cook with love , too !
Seasoning from the glory of my lord !!!
Rachel I just made your enchilada sauce , all purpose seasoning and your flour tortillas and then made my beef enchiladas! I followed your recipes,, My tortillas are so soft and pliable! My sauce came out a little salty because I used chicken bouillon instead of chicken broth, I just added more water. My kids ❤ them.
I’ve seen so many videos on how to make flour tortillas, but I’ll say your video is the best. You are so clear and thorough. You made them just like my mom did. Thank you 😊
Your welcome my friend. Blessings. ❤
Hello 👋 i hope you're safe over there? I hope this year brings happiness prosperity love and peace 💞❤️🕊️🕊️ all over the world 🙏🌍
I'm originally from Canada currently living in Key West Florida and you where are you from if i may ask?
good morning Carlotta Romero how're you doing today and how is the family
I have seen family members make tortillas for years in the Río Grande Valley of NM. I have seen many videos on CZcams trying to help me learn my own way. But you have been the best teacher so far with a final product that matches what I remember. You give great detail and I cannot wait to try again. Subscribing!
Rachel kneads dough like a beast! I love it.
❤️😘🥰

Rachel, you make everything you do look simple and easy. You are a fantastic teacher. Thanks for the time you take to teach us and make us feel comfortable cooking your dishes. Pam😊
Hi
I love how you showed the kneeding process in more detail and length. I don't want to watch a 5 min kneed but it was nice to see you working the dough. Mine is so sticky sometimes I think it will never consolidate. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your comment my friend, here is the link to my latest tortilla video, here in Ohio I change the recipe some due to the big difference in humidity, check it out and see what you think.❤️
Yummy that's how my mom would do us too. Tortilla with butter. Now go play. When I make mine I always eat the last tortilla with butter. That was what my mom always did for me she knew the last one was mine. My grandmother would mix sugar and cinnamon and it on top of the buttered tortilla. Good old days. Makes me miss my mom and grandmother even more. God bless you and your husband
Hi Rachel,
I found you about 8 months ago and sooo happy I did. Thank you for helping me out with several dishes. My favorite part of the show is the taste test you make me want to be there in your kitchen. I love Rachel cooks with love 💕♥️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Rachel: I am so happy that I found you on You Tube. You remind me so much of my Mamá and Abuelita. The dishes you make are what I grew up on. I've made many of the dishes that you have prepared b/c my Mamá taught me how to make them. Even though you put your own twist on some of them, they are delicious! I've even changed some of the recipes my Mamá taught me. Change is good. This is how we learn and create new meals by experimenting. I miss my Abuelita and Mamá so much! Your accent reminds me of them both. About the tortillas. This is one thing that I never could get right. I didn't realize that there was a step-by-step technique to making them. Your video helped me understand the "Why" and "When" to making the tortillas as sublime as you make them. I didn't make them right the first time, though. But today, I'm writing to let you know that I have now mastered your technique, and I am so grateful for your instruction. Keep those videos coming! God Bless!
Rachel, thank you for all your awesome recipes! I never learned to cook before I got married, so I am truly thankful for you teaching me how!
I just made these after trying tons of recipes from other sources and FINALLY, I don’t have hard, crispy tortillas! They came out great! This is the 2nd recipe I’ve tried out from her and I can’t wait to try out more! Thank you Rachel!
I love how she explains the process and.the reason why. She's great !
Watching your videos makes me feel like I'm a little girl again, learning to make baguettes and quiche in my grandmother's kitchen. Thank you for sharing your recipes and techniques!
Hello how are you doing, my name is josh mark and you? i bring you good news
Hello
This is the one thing I've never made. After seeing this, I'm going to do it. Thank you Rachel! 💜
I absolutely love watching your videos. You cover everything, which I love, and you do it with such love and encouragement. My mother's love language was food, and she was an absolute artist at cooking. Watching you is very comforting. Thank you for sharing your art.
I love your tips, I never thought to put then in the frig and I do make tortillas but sometimes they didn’t turn out so great but now I know why because of the techniques of mixing flour etc. I’m so glad I found you on CZcams. I’ve been loving all your recipes so thank you. I know if I was part of your family I’d love every meal and that’s the truth! 😊
Im so glad I found you ,you bring back memories of me and my grandma ,she would make tortillas and add butter too I could smell her as I watched you ty so much
Hello 👋 i hope you're safe over there? I hope this year brings happiness prosperity love and peace 💞❤️🕊️🕊️ all over the world 🙏🌍
I'm originally from Canada currently living in Key West Florida and you where are you from if i may ask?
Rachel, your buttermilk biscuits look amazing. I love the way you explain the process. You motivate me to get moving to make my own biscuits. Your process is simple and rewarding. When you take that bite with jam and the biscuit’s piping hot, I can almost taste it myself, so thank you. You really bake with Love.❤
Dear Rachel! This was my childhood! I watched my mom make fresh homemade tortillas at least three to four times a week. My dad would eat them up as soon as she would make a fresh batch!🤣. I loved watching her tortilla making technique. She was so skilled at that!! When I think of my childhood memories of watching her cook anything, I get teary-eyed!😢 I miss her so much! And not just her cooking but everything about her!!❤️🥰 Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes with us! You are so kind to share them with the public!!❤️
Thank you so much. I tried you video on making corn tortillas yesterday and they turned out perfect. I haven't had anyone to teach me. I love surprising my husband. He is Hispanic and i am Anglo. I love a little of home in my cooking. I will be following you and looking forward to your videos. Teresa
Wonderful!❤️
