My wife like them so much I made a second batch two days later.

I have these ingredients at home (planning to try butter instead of shortening) and definitely going to make these this weekend! Thank you so much for the easy recipe and great video, especially the slow-mo kneading action!

Whirled until smooth and topped up with warm water to make the 1/2 c needed plus 1 Tbls extra water to make up for the displacement. I formed 6 tortillas for sandwich wraps. So pretty and yum!<br /><br />I'm guessing red flour tortillas can be made by blending tomato paste into the water. I'll try that next time!Toshiko Suiseihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11184767388509193436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-34142368320946301272015-12-12T23:15:33.401-05:002015-12-12T23:15:33.401-05:00Hi Chef John, I've been enjoying your flour to...Hi Chef John, I've been enjoying your flour tortilla recipe for some time now, but I just wanted to mention that today I tried it with virgin coconut oil (which is solid at room temp). They turned out the same as when I use veg shortening, except with a very faint scent of coconut. Filled with grilled carnitas and other toppings, I didn't really notice the coconut scent anymore unless I tried.Toshiko Suiseihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11184767388509193436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-57687954083548905032015-07-01T12:12:54.728-04:002015-07-01T12:12:54.728-04:00Thanks much Chef John for another great recipe.

I decided that I hadn't rolled out the first couple quite thing enough, so I really laid into the remaining ones -- and found that it was really quite hard to over-roll these, and the thinner I rolled them the better they turned out.<br /><br />My main problem, though, was that these tasted so good that they almost out-shined the carnitas pork that I had spent five hours slow cooking! I'm sure I'll make these again, but I will have to time it for one of those nights where my wife is trying to feed me turkey tacos.<br /><br />Seriously though, thanks for a great and easy recipe Chef John!<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-48538110865878934922013-06-29T04:42:49.289-04:002013-06-29T04:42:49.289-04:00Hubby made me a tortilla press for my birthday and...Hubby made me a tortilla press for my birthday and I just tested it out!

I just made them for dinner and my husband (who is Mexican) said that they were nearly identical to his mom's delicious tortillas. We filled them with scrambled eggs, potatoes, chorizo, fresh salsa, and avocado - AMAZING! The only change I made was to make 6 tortillas instead of 8 so they were a little larger.
