Flat iron steak fajitas tonight and my first run at homemade tortillas. What I learned. ..
Higher heat...400 dome wasn't hot enough
Roll thinner...they rise more than I thought
They were good and the family loved them...Jake ate 2 by themselves. I'll definitely try them again. Used the pioneer woman recipe which seems to be common. Even on my first try they were better than store bought.

My mil used to make great flour tortillas, but now heb sells great raw ones over by the eggs. She had stopped since then. Still makes killer tamales. When you are in salado, be sure to stick up, they are cheap.
Her recipe was flour, Crisco, and boiling hot water. Make small bollilos, then roll the balls into tortillas. If your using them right away, on a med-high skillet cook until bubbles just start, flip. Cook until white, flip, cook until just right. If storing for later, quickly sear each side and stack with paper towel peices to seperate.
Heb is similar, but uses beef lard. Ho lee sh**+++++++++++++++++++++++++++Austin, Texas. I'm the guy holding a beer. -

Nice looking tortillas. My wife has made tortillas once, I've never attempted it, but your pictures make me want to. I usually just go to a local Mexican restaurant and get them or go to Taco Cabana.

As every good thing in life, flour tortillas have an easy to make recipe. Ingredients are cheap and easy to get also. But the real secret comes with practice. Most of the best flour tortillas I've tried (and I've tried a lot since I'm mexican) are made without measuring any ingredient by the tortilla lady.So, start making tortillas once every week, or more often if possible, and after a year or so you'll have a very consistent execution, taste and texture on your tortillas.... and a few extra pounds... hehehe

A friend of mine found some uncooked tortilla flats at the store the other day and we pan fried them. I must say that they were a good tasting bridge in the gap between store-bought and fresh-made for the culinary challenged like myself.
