LOVE LOVE LOVE YOUR STORY! I’m almost 58 yrs old. I TRIED making flour tortillas a couple yrs ago and they came out like Crackers!!! 😂 When Covid hit I decided to try again and again & again until I mastered the Art! I finally succeeded after making countless dozens. I do watch different U Tube videos to help me get to where I make them Exactly the way I want. Which is soft & thin. GOD BLESS YOU TWO ON YOUR NEW FOUND SUCESS. I’m a fan and will continue to follow your videos. 👍🏽👍🏽

Lovely. She watches down on all of you.

This is one thing that culture brings to this country. Every culture has specialties, and you have no idea how good it is until you eat an authentic, cultural meal hand-prepared by someone from that culture. I'm not Latina. But I've been making tortillas for more than 40 years. I originally learned from a Mexican immigrant. 20 years ago I suffered neurological damage and I couldn't remember how to make tortillas. I've had to relearn, but my tortillas are better than ever now. So, I can appreciate how there is a fine-line between a good tortilla and a so-so tortilla. It takes real intuition to know when it is exactly right. No recipe works 100% of the time, you have to go by feel. And that takes real talent. Hope your business continues to prosper, because there is a real need for cultural cooks to help fight prejudice. Food helps bring us together.

Mixing the salt in with the water is a new concept for me. Thanks for this.

I finally was able to do this after this video and not make a mess!!! Getting the dough just right, not over hydrating, and mixing the salt into the water first, and kneading the dough until right was key. I added enough salt until the water tasted salty which worked fantastically! Mine came out perfect! No more store bought or eating out where you have no idea if the tortillas are fresh or what they are made of. Just simple all purpose organic flour, salt (i use sea salt), leaf lard I render myself from organic farmer, and water. No preservatives. No hydrogenated fats. My own measurements were 2 and a half cups flour, 3 to 4 tablespoons leaf lard, almost 1 and a half cups water(by feel as dough hydrates and you knead), and roughly 2 teaspoons salt. All salts vary, so taste the salted water. By the way, THANK YOU for this video 👍🙏

@starrebornalpha

Trick is that when you're mixing it all together, it has to be on the dry side--eventually the flour will fully hydrate and be perfect. I use King Arthur bread flour (blue) all of the time. 450 grams of the flour, about 90 grams of lard (real lard not the hydrogenated kind), 210 ml of water, and 5 grams of salt. When you're making it, the dough may appear to dry, just keep on kneading it until it comes together---better to have it slightly on the dry side. Eventually when it's resting it'll be very soft and pliable. Works perfect. Once the tortillas cool down I put them in a ziplock bag and they stay soft the next day then I reheat them. They never make it past the 2nd day because they're so good so I don't know if they last longer than the next day. I measure the dough balls to be about 45 grams--this equates to about 150 calories per tortilla. I too make them very thin.

Adding Lard is the key to the flour tortillas richness. Handmade tortillas are the best.

Lard is considered a healthy fat due to its high concentration of monounsaturated fats, which help to lower blood cholesterol levels and maintain healthy cells.2 It is also rich in oleic acid, the same fatty acid found in olive oil, and has no trans fats.0 Lard has 20% less saturated fat than butter and is considered one of the healthier options of the group.3 However, it is still high in saturated fat, like butter, so eating a lot of it is not really good for you.5 Lard is a perfect combination of the three types of fats: monounsaturated fat, saturated, and polyunsaturated.1 While past research has linked unsaturated fats to heart disease, more recent ones suggest that eating healthy unsaturated fats could actually improve heart health.
