When I have the time I like to make our tortillas from scratch. They don’t really take a lot of time, but sometimes it’s just easier to open the taco box.
Tortillas -makes 8 small
2 c flour 3/4c water
3T oil 1/2t salt
Mix everything in a bowl, adding enough water. Knead until smooth and let rest for 30 minutes.
Divide into 8 and roll out into circles (about 8 inches).
Dry fry over medium heat for about 45 seconds per side. Stack and cover with a tea towel to keep them soft.
See, they are that easy. I really should make them more often 🙂
The other day I used these tortillas to make quesadillas. A good way to use up leftover roast beef. AND it’s something Ella will gobble up.

Paula – silly question – do you “deep” fry, or just pan fry the tortillas? Looking at your picture it looks like just “pan” fry since they are not immersed in oil.
No Bev, it’s dry fry not deep fry. That means you just heat up the pan with nothing in it. No oil or anything.
My hubby loves when I make tortillas, which isn’t very often. He insists though that I must use lard and not oil! LOL!!
