Homemade Flour Tortillas Recipe
3 cups all-purpose unbleached flour, 3 Tablespoons lard, 1.5 teaspoons salt, 1 cup warm tap water.
Four ingredients!
They taste better than storebought tortillas.
They are healthier.
They cost 8 cents each.
And luckily they cannot be used as a cement alternative.
Before we make them, let’s talk about ingredient #2 up there: lard. Be honest, are you magnetically repelled from lard and anything that even remotely resembles it?
That’s OK, it’s a tough word to swallow.
Lard.
I am biased because I use it all the time. When done right it can be one of the cleanest fats out there. It’s balanced more towards unsaturated fats, so it actually has more in common with olive oil than it does with butter. At the very least, it can be considered an equal alternative to conventional fats and oils.
Please try making homemade tortillas with good quality lard at least once in your life. Yes, you can make them with conventional oils, just know that every time you do you are causing Mexico to shed a tear. (Here’s a version made using olive oil.)
Most local butchers, and some gourmet stores, will carry farmer direct lard in their freezers. This is a good option for your first batch of homemade tortillas. Here’s what it looks like in my butcher’s freezer:
Of course, you can always make your own lard too. It’s super easy and will keep in the fridge for months.
That’s what we are using today, but it’s definitely not a requirement for these homemade tortillas. (Here’s a step by step tutorial on how to make your own lard if you want to try it eventually.)
The least attractive option for lard is the baking section of your supermarket where you’ll find shelf-safe lard that’s loaded with hydrogenated oils. This isn’t a viable long term solution for your blossoming lard needs.
OK, got your lard handy?
Stir the salt into the flour. Add the lard and use your hands to mix it in.
Coat each bit of lard with flour and squish it between your fingers. You’ll feel it disintegrate into the flour mixture.
Once all the lard is mixed in, add the warm tap water.
Stir it as much as you can with a spoon and then dump the whole thing onto a flat surface.
Knead this clump into a ball and keep adding the stray bits of flour. Continue kneading until you have a cohesive ball.
Cover and let rest for 30-60 minutes. This will make the dough less elastic when rolling it out.
After resting, divide into golf ball sized chunks and roll them between your hands.
Dough balls this size will make tortillas 5-6 inches in diameter. If you have time, let these rest for another 15-30 minutes. It’s OK if you don’t, they will just be a little more elastic when you roll them out.
I like to roll these out super thin, to the point where you can almost see through them. Using a tapered rolling pin will help as it’s easier to push into the middle of the tortilla, but a standard rolling pin works fine too.
Keep flipping them over and rotating them so you are always rolling in opposite directions.
If they are sticking to the surface or the rolling pin, add a light dusting of flour onto the rolling pin.
Don’t worry about making them into perfect circles. It’s impossible to do, and if they have irregular shapes they will taste better.
Heat up a comal or skillet to medium-high temperature. On my stove 6 out of 9 on the big burner does the trick for these tortillas.
Add the tortilla to the comal. Cook until you see bubbles forming:
Ideally, this will happen in 45-60 seconds. If it’s taking longer to bubble raise the temp of the stove. If they are bubbling instantly then lower the temp.
When you flip it over you’ll see some light brown spots. Perfect!
Cook the opposite side for the same amount of time and set aside to cool.
Continue with the rest of the batch, but be sure to take a moment to do some quality control:
This batch made 14 thin, light, delicious flour tortillas.
Using an ingredient list that was 4 entries long.
These will keep in the fridge for at least a week but they come with special permission to eat as soon as possible.
If you botch a few of them don’t fret, it just takes a few tries to get the heat and timing of the stove right.
Once you’ve got that down you’ll always have the option of making a batch of these beauties.
Use liberally for your tacos, enchiladas, and late afternoon snacks. Not recommended as a cement alternative.
Enjoy!
(Update: I recently tried making these flour tortillas with bacon fat and was pleasantly surprised by them. See here for results.)

The lard from my local supermarket here in Edinburgh, UK seems OK. The only additive is rosemary extract which apparently is an anti-oxidant. The flatbread which I made previously weren’t particularly good but using lard really does make a big difference. Thanks for your tip.
Patrick
Awesome, great to know Keith! Sounds like you already have a good option to get some quality lard, but don’t forget that it’s super easy to render your own and a single batch tends to last for months in my fridge. Good luck!
Chantel
These are delicious! I substituted the lard for coconut oil and they turned out fantastic. Even my 2 year old loved them, and that says a lot! Thank you for the recipe!
Patrick
Wow thanks much for the feedback Chantel, really good to know they work using coconut oil. Glad they were a keeper for you 🙂
Paul
I’ve heard that it works better with fats that are stiff at room temp, like coco, lard, or butter. I like to use half shortening, half butter. Such beautiful pictures on your website, really nice. Thank you.
Patrick
Hey Paul thanks for your note! Cheers.
Lisa
The trouble with rendering your own lard is trying to find the proper fat. I went to three local butchers and all of them told me they cannot get leaf fat because pigs are now bred and raised to be so lean that there is little to no excess fat on them to sell separately. I was very disappointed, as this was something I wanted to try. Fortunately, there are some artisan lard and tallow makers now and I can always find it at Whole Foods or similar stores.
Patrick
Thanks for your note Lisa! Wow this is kind of surprising to hear. Can I ask….were you looking for only leaf fat or did you ask about back fat as well?
Seb
Hi there, I made this as described (well 1.5x ingredients). Tasted awesome, but I had trouble with thickness; I couldn’t roll them out nice and thin…seems to thick or too elastic.
Full disclosure… I didn’t measure exactly, but close. And resting time was not as suggested (many others things going on in the kitchen).
Any suggestions why? Too much lard? Resting time not correct?
Patrick
Hey Seb, thanks much for the tortilla trip report!
I know exactly what you’re talking about as I’ve been there. I don’t think it was the lard — I’ve tried this recipe with more lard before and it didn’t affect the thickness but they did come out quite greasy.
Letting them rest a bit longer should help as I never have trouble with them snapping back or being elastic when rolling out. But most importantly I think it’s worth pushing the boundary when rolling them out as it’s kinda surprising how thin you can get them. Rolling from the center outwards seems to help (as opposed to rolling all the way across) and I use a tapered rolling pin to dig into them but you can get by with a standard rolling pin too. They’ll almost turn transparent when rolled out super thin and I like them best this way.
Hope that helps a bit. Let me know if you have any other questions.
P.S. What lard did you use?
seb
I have a wooden press from mexico I wanted to try out. With this recipe, it was fairly useless. I ended up resorting to a roller pretty quick. I didn’t have a tapered one on hand. I will try again… maybe with a little less other stuff going on in the kitchen (..this may have been an issue).
I found “Dana Elsita pork lard Manteca” in the mexican section at my grocer.
Thanks
Patrick
Yup I’ve been seeing those wooden presses around lately too, you will probably have better luck with it when making corn tortillas.
Sounds like it might be worth a Round Two to test the thinness boundary. One other thing to consider….when I first starting making tortillas at home I had visions of making ultra-thin burrito sized tortillas on the cheap. Over time though I found it easier to make thin tortillas in the soft taco realm, i.e. not as wide. I found that these were much easier to manage and still tasted great. So reducing the dough ball size can be a good way to experiment with how thin you can get them.
(Okay good just wanted to make sure you weren’t using the lard from the grocery’s baking section.)
Yvonne Fitzpatrick
Just curious Patrick, why do you discourage baking aisle lard?
Patrick
Hi Yvonne, I usually don’t buy the baking aisle lard because it’s been hydrogenated to increase shelf life and can be a bit trans-fatty:
https://www.healthline.com/health/ways-to-avoid-hydrogenated-oil
If you have the option of buying lard from a local butcher (usually in the fridge or freezer) then you’ll usually get a cleaner product.
Hope that helps a bit, let me know if you have any other questions. Cheers.
Blanca
Tortilla pressers are for corn tortillas , not flour tortillas 😉
Cece Ortiz
The absolute key is to let the dough balls rest covered for at least an hour more if you have time. This allows the fat to rise to the surface of the dough ball and soften it. If you try to roll them out as soon as you make the dough they will just spring back. Once the “masa” has rested get a small plate with flour flatten dough ball and dip in plate dusting both sides. Another tip, roll out as round as you can then pick up and stretch the tortilla into a thinner circle.
Vicki
These were wonderful. I did use coconut oil because I didn’t have lard when I saw this recipe. I have never made tortillas before but now I will always make them fresh because they are so easy… and only four ingredients! I can’t wait to try the chipotle tortillas too. Thank you for sharing.
Patrick
Thanks much for your note Vicki! I’ve gotten a couple emails from people using coconut oil in this tortilla recipe and it makes me curious! Might have to try a batch….
Angela
Great recipe! I’ve used one like this in the past, but the rest period for the dough truly is a major key to success, and patience rolling the dough will also result in getting to a larger, thinner tortilla. Seems to me that letting them rest after you roll them out as well helps a little more with the way they cook. I rolled 11, 9-ish” all at once keeping them between was paper until I could cook all at once. Beautiful!!
Patrick
Awesome, thanks much for your notes Angela! Sounds like your patience paid off — that can be the hard part, especially when you’re hungry!
shirley k smith
OH boy! I made these this morning WOW love them reminds me of my mexican friends Mom’s tortillas when I was growing up down Houston way! Love this its a keeper and I am looking forward to more recipes from your site and hope to purchase your cookbook too.
Great wording and photos to keep me interested.
Hubby is out making me a special wooden rolling pin as I type 🙂
Patrick
Hi Shirley thanks much for the feedback, I’m glad they are keepers for you — makes me crave a batch!
shirley k smith
oops you do have a cook book right? I did sign up for your emails great! Hubby liked tortillas so much he decided to make me a roller specially for them this morning how cool is that!
Patrick
Ha that is awesome. Yeah I have an e-book on Amazon that you can find through the Ebook link in the main menu of this site — no hardcover book yet but it’s on my list!
Thomas
Well, tried the ethnic markets and none of them sell pork fat or lard, just the hygrogenated stuff; the same with the high-end gourmet markets. Luckily, the local, high-end butcher shop sells pork leaf fat, and it turned out that the local mid-range supermarket sells pork back fat; though, the leaf fat was less expensive than the back fat, for some odd reason. But all is well, and I’m looking forward to making some flour tortillas in order to make some beef taquitos (with some Wagyu beef a friend gave me). I’m assuming that I can use my tortilla press, which I’ve been using to make corn tortillas.
Patrick
Hi Thomas thanks much for the lard trip report — I remember noticing the same thing, i.e. the hydrogenated stuff everywhere but real lard and back fat being very scarce. Seems kinda backwards. And that is kind of strange that the leaf fat would be cheaper as usually it’s the opposite.
I think you’ll be very satisfied though if you make a batch of flour tortillas with some home-rendered lard, they are scrumptious! Also keep in mind that you won’t be able to use the tortilla press with the flour tortillas. Those work with corn tortillas but it is easiest to get the flour tortillas thin by using a rolling pin. Good luck!
Diane
Tortillas, oh what an art. I have been around homemade tortillas my whole life, my aunt made her last batch of tortillas at 97 two years ago, rolling away and cooking on a placa( iron hot plate). Two people in my life time my Abuela and my Tia, two of the best flour tortilla makers. I can only hope to be that good someday, it has not happened yet after 55 years. Never give up, keep trying, even if they look like the moon or the cow, they taste great. My grandfather did make his own lard and we also had chicharones tasty. A metal pipe cut to size cleaned over and over before use, or the end of a broom handle cut, sanded and seasoned well as a rolling pin, just the right size. Happy Rolling!
Patrick
Thanks for your note Diane. Now that you mention it, a heavy metal pipe might be really handy in getting the tortillas super thin!
William Smith
Hi,
I’ve tried to make the tortilla following mentioned procedure but I found it difficult to make the dough non-sticky. When I first made the dough, it was too sticky and after adding some extra flour on that, it was so difficult to roll. Can you please give any solution on this? Thanks in Advance
Patrick
Hi William thanks for your note — trust me I’ve been there. Getting the dough consistency can be a pain the first couple times you make tortillas. Sometimes adding the water incrementally will help you find the right balance. So for example, this recipe uses 1 cup water. Start by using just 3/4 cup water and combining as much as you can. Most likely it won’t form into a dough because there’s not enough water yet. Add an additional 1-2 Tablespoons of water at a time until it forms into a cohesive dough. This should prevent it from becoming too sticky, i.e. too much water.
I hope this helps a bit. I know it can be super frustrating when the dough goes bonkers but trust me it gets easier. Feel free to get in touch if you have any other questions. Cheers.
Greg
Hi, what is wrong with the lard that is in the baking section? I bought that before I read where you said not to use it, but, since I had it I used it anyway. Is that why the tortillas came out hard? I can’t really roll them into a burrito, because they break apart.
Patrick
Hi Greg, most lards in the baking section will have hydrogenated oils to make them shelf-safe — this puts them in the trans-fat realm and for health reasons I usually stay away from those.
This could also affect how soft the tortillas come out in the end — but keep in mind that it’s hard to make huge, elastic, burrito sized tortillas at home without adding any additional ingredients. I had the same idea as you and looked into this for awhile (like adding xanthum gum for elasticity) but then just kind of fell in love with the mediumish, taco sized tortillas and have stuck with that.
Hope this helps a bit, let me know if you have any other questions. Cheers.
Cindy Pruitt
This recipe is amazing! I will never buy store bought again, especially how awful they taste compared to these. I purchased a palote to roll them out with. So easy. I definitely let them rest at least an hour. Easier to roll for sure. Thank you for sharing amazing recipes!
Patrick
Thanks much for the feedback Cindy!
Kim Wilson
Can you use the fat left in the pan after cooking bacon
I always put it in a can in my fridge and eventually toss it.
Patrick
Ha I do the same exact thing! You could probably use it but I think you would end up with bacon tortillas as it has a much stronger flavor than traditional lard.
Jennifer Hall
Just wanted to say…we live in New Mexico my daughter’s boyfriend’s Nana makes her tortillas this way. Uses the leftover bacon grease along with little crispy bits remaining. They are tastey! I don’t know if it would exactly work for this recipe (may need tweaking) but I have googled and found at least 1 recipe for them.
Carrie Weeks
I used everything you said and followed instructions. They are a little harder than a local taco truck’s. Theirs are soft and fluffy. How do I get that texture?
Patrick
Hi Carrie, bummer to hear this as I normally don’t have that problem with this recipe — I wonder if maybe the heat was too low and they were on the stove for too long. About how long do you think they were cooking?
Leena
Thanks for a great recipie, i’ve even made homemade lard for the first time because of this 🙂
Small problem though, some of my tortillas gets hard/crispi either the whole one or parts of it. I forgot to check the time when cooking them. Have i used to much heat or cooked them too long?
Some recipies say that you need to keep the finished tortillas between two plates to keep them soft, but this tends to get them a bit wet as well. What do you to with the ones that are done?
Thanks again.
Patrick
Awesome Leena so glad you like them!
Yeah that usually means they have been cooked for too long, i.e. the heat is too low. I put my stove somewhere between medium and medium high and this will form brown spots in about a minute. If it’s taking much longer to form those brown spots then you know you need to raise the heat.
I usually just stack ’em up and lightly cover them with a kitchen towel as I make them. They will always be best right off the stove so lately I only make as many as I will use that day, storing the extra dough balls in the fridge and pulling them out as I need them. Otherwise you can store the cooked tortillas in a Ziploc in the fridge — to warm them up I usually put them in a hot, dry skillet (in a single layer) until heated through.
Okay hope this helps a bit, let me know if you have any other questions. P.S. Homemade lard, awesome!
Chardenae
Will Armour brand lard work? It says it’s 0grams trans fat… I just keep seeing all this talk bout lard and I’ve never cooked with it before this is my first time trying to make tortillas… So I’m not too familiar with lards… I can’t wait to give these a try! Thx for all the great tips and easy directions!
Patrick
Hi Chardenae — yeah it can get confusing because there are so many varied opinions out there about lard. There’s also different labeling conventions for partially and fully hydrogenated oils — that’s why you’ll see some brands claim to be trans fat free even if they contain hydrogenated oils. Here’s some good info on this:
https://www.thespruceeats.com/do-hydrogenated-oils-contain-trans-fats-2246050
I use lard all the time but I usually render it at home. When buying lard I will only buy it from a freezer or fridge, usually from a local butcher. I stay away from lard that is shelf safe (in the baking aisle) as it needs to be hydrogenated to be kept at room temp.
So while I think it’s okay to use any brand when getting familiar with the process of making tortillas, I think it’s best to find a source that you trust if you’re going to be using it regularly.
Okay hope that helps a bit, let me know if you have any other questions. Cheers.
Dave in SoTex
Two questions : will fat rendered from pork belly work as well? And what about duck fat?
Patrick
Hey Dave! I’ve never tried these tortillas using pork belly or duck fat but maybe it’s time to try it as people ask about it frequently. I guess I feel like the pork belly fat is going to taste too bacon-y and I don’t want that flavor in my tortillas.
Sorry I can’t give a better answer but if you try it please let me know how it goes. Cheers.
Update: I tried making them with bacon fat and was quite happy with them. See here.
Ella
You did not put in baking powder ? how come your tortillas have bubbles ?
Patrick
Hi Ella! I like my flour tortillas super thin so I rarely use baking powder as it seems to thicken them up. But even without baking powder you’ll get those brown spots forming (bubbles) — it’s a good warning sign to give ’em a flip! Cheers.
ella
thanks for your all natural recipe. I got mine Donets your instructions . My totillas have some bubbles, not much as yours. It also got little crunchy after 5 minutes cooked. I don’t know how to make it soft and a lot of big bubbles like yours.
Patrick
Hi Ella! Do you mean 5 minutes of cooking time? That probably means the heat is too low and they’ll get dense if they cook for that long. I usually use medium or slightly over medium temp on my stove and this will have them bubbling up with light brown spots forming in about a minute or so. Cheers.
Laura
Thanks for the recipe…and the great read! 🙂
Meg
I’ve made homemade tortillas a few times, but never let them rest that long, what a difference it makes! So much easier to roll out. Leaving out baking powder is new to me too, they came out nice and thin. However they were sort of heavy and dense. What could cause this?
Patrick
Hey Meg! I feel like that happens when they cook too long ie the heat might be too low. If it’s taking a while for brown spots to form then I usually raise the heat a bit.
Meg
Great recipe overall, ate with your charro beans, mmmm!
Patrick
Nice, thanks Meg!
Jo
OMG I’ve only ever had the plastic rubbish from supermarkets and just tried this recipe and ‘mind blown’. Adapted the recipe to make enough for two people and worked amazingly well. Huge cudos!!
Patrick
Thanks Jo, so glad they were a hit!
Lena
Great recipe! The dough is maximum pliable and they taste great!
Patrick
Thanks Lena!
Andrea
Have you tried using whole wheat floor with any of your tortilla recipes? Or white whole wheat flour? I need to up fiber content of.my food, so am curious how WW tortillas would workout.
Patrick
Hi Andrea, I haven’t tried whole wheat flour with my tortilla recipes yet but it’s on my list! Cheers.
Jan
I made your tortillas today with fresh ground spelt and einkorn berries. I did not use any fat but they still turned out wonderful. Am going to get some back fat to render my own lard, just tossed the tub from the store with the bad stuff in it.
Yesterday I made a different recipe and used my home canned tomato sauce in place of water, very good and kinda pale red. I like the fresh ground flour and will use bacon fat in the next batch until I can get the back fat.
Thank you for a great recipe and site, will be looking around some.
Patrick
Thanks much for your note Jan! So good to know that they turned out well without any fat as I have never tried that before. Cheers.
Trina Carlisle
Thanks !!😋😙😍
Debbie
I tend to shy away from rolling dough because I am terrible at it. I’m sure it helped that I was reading and distracted and the dough rested in both stages for 30+ minutes, but this dough rolled thinly beautifully, and tasted so good when cooked! So easy I will never buy flour tortillas, although I never did because they were awful. I bought lard from Fatworks because I called several butchers and could not get the backfat to render my own. I have found a source now at a farm store an hour or so away so I will be heading there soon. Also plan to try the bacon fat version next.
Patrick
Awesome, so glad these worked out for you Debbie! And thanks much for mentioning Fatworks, they are new to me and I just checked out their site, will keep an eye out for their products and see how it compares to a home rendered version. Cheers.
Carol Turlington
Hi. I made these tortillas and they turned out great. Only one problem. Once they reach room temp, they become a little hard and tough. Any suggestions? I followed the recipe exactly. Even used store bought lard. Thanks!
Patrick
Hi Carol, I usually put them in a tortilla warmer or stack them in a tea towel to keep them warm and moist. If they ever dry out on you then you can usually wake them up again by putting them back in warm, dry skillet for a minute or so.
Okay hope this helps a bit. Cheers.
tony
Made these a few months ago as tortillas to serve with beans. A couple weeks later I made enchiladas with these. My wife, daughter and a friend raved about them. The leftovers did not last a day. They taste like the ones Nana used to make.
I misplaced the recipe and found it again.
These tortillas are easy to make and cook perfectly on my griddle, we own an old stove. Making enchiladas again and these will be the co-star, the lead is not good without a great supporting co star.
When I rolled them into balls I had cornmeal on my hands. I love the flavor of cornmeal and even as a child I could not roll or pat out tortillas.
Patrick
Thanks for the feedback Tony, so glad you found this recipe!
Lupe A Wyant
Best recipe I’ve found on line. My husband loves them…I’ve made them every day since I cant seem to keep them in the house.lol
Patrick
Ahh awesome Lupe, so glad they are a hit! Cheers.
Mhg
Hi Patrick
Sorry for killing your awesome recipe, with this question..Can i substitute almond flour or coconut flour to your recipe? Are the ratios for the flour the same? I hear the ratio for coconut is totally different.
Patrick
Hey Mary! Yeah I’ve had gluten free tortillas on my to-do list for a while now but haven’t tried them yet, so I don’t think I can give a good answer. Sorry!
Cynthia Maccioli
These are what my mother made. Is there anything better than fresh Roman beans, chili from New Mexico and tortillas made from lard? I don’t think so. I always have organic lard in the fridge, tried your recipe, done in 5 minutes. These put all tortilla recipes to shame. Ay chihuahua, magnifico!!
Patrick
Thanks Cynthia, good to hear this recipe stirred some memories for you! Cheers.
Raleigh Munoz
My Mo always added a tablespoon of bacon drippings to her tortillas
Patrick
Ha awesome! I tried a batch with all bacon drippings and was super happy with the results:

Paelyn
This were easy to make and delicious. I’ve found a few local SF Bay Area sources for leaf lard, but they’re always sold out, so I bought the Epic brand jarred pork fat that’s now available in most major supermarkets and smaller “gourmet” markets. I live in an area with a large Hispanic community, but it’s still difficult to find a good flour tortilla that isn’t made with bland or tasteless oils. So thanks again for the great recipe!
Patrick
Thanks Paelyn! Good to know about that Epic brand as they are new to me. Cheers.

Hi I love your website and all of your content! So much so, I wish there was more of it- example: more links to your favorite items that we can buy online (and maybe you get a kickback too if we buy from your link;). One specific example item: the tapered rolling pin,etc. I mean all kinds of links, I would love to buy the items you like the best! Anyway, that is so cool you went and lived in Mexico for 2 years, looks like you had a blast! Thanks for the website and all of the quality you put into it! Cheers!

C.duran
Best rcipe on the internet and I’ve looked and tried and my mother was Brown and her mother my Nana was born in “meh-he-co” ” meh-he-toe” that’s how she would tell me when I’d ask her where she was born. I have few memories of my Summers and Christmas’s with her in lil ol Holbrook, AZ. But one thing I do recall was her trying to teach me how to make tortillas. As I grew up I’ve tried like hells kitchen to remember exactly how she did it but could never remember all of it and she’s with God now so I can’t ask her. But this recipe filled in the blanks. I think I saw her nod in approval when they came out Perfect. Thanks.
Patrick
Hey thanks much for your note C, that is probably the best thumbs up I could ever get! Cheers.
