This homemade tortillas recipe offers a simple and delicious way to make soft, warm tortillas from scratch using common pantry ingredients. With a blend of all-purpose and whole wheat flour, a touch of baking powder, and the richness of avocado oil, these tortillas cook quickly on a skillet and serve as a versatile base for a variety of dishes.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 8 tortillas

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups (240 grams) all purpose flour
  • ½ cup (60 grams) white whole wheat flour (or substitute all purpose flour)
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons hemp hearts (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ¼ cup (50 grams) avocado oil
  • ¾ to 1 cup HOT water (180g to 240g), usually ¾ cup is enough

Instructions

  1. Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, white whole wheat flour, optional hemp hearts, baking powder, and kosher salt until evenly combined.
  2. Add the wet ingredients: Pour in the avocado oil and 180 grams (¾ cup) of hot water to the dry ingredients. Stir with a fork until the dough comes together in a shaggy mass. If the dough feels too dry, add extra water by tablespoon increments until it holds together well.
  3. Prepare dough: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 1 minute until it forms a smooth ball that is neither sticky nor overly dry. Divide the dough into 8 equal-sized balls, cover them with a slightly damp towel, and let rest for 20 minutes to relax the gluten.
  4. Preheat skillet: While the dough rests, heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot and ready for cooking the tortillas.
  5. Roll out and cook tortillas: Roll out one dough ball at a time into an 8-inch thin circle on a lightly floured surface. Place the rolled tortilla onto the preheated skillet. Cook until bubbles form and the bottom develops light golden spots, about 30 seconds. Flip and cook the other side for 20 to 30 seconds. Adjust heat if the pan starts to smoke to avoid burning.
  6. Keep tortillas warm: Transfer cooked tortillas to a clean warm towel to keep soft and warm. Store leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat in a skillet or microwave for 10 to 15 seconds before serving.

Notes

  • Use a cast iron skillet for best heat retention and authentic texture.
  • Resting the dough is key for soft, pliable tortillas.
  • Adjust water quantity as needed based on flour absorption and humidity.
  • Serve fresh tortillas with your favorite fillings like grilled meats, beans, or vegetables.
  • Store wrapped tortillas in an airtight container or plastic wrap to maintain moisture.
