So I have been trying to make my own tortillas. I’ll found a recipe online that was flour, water, oil, and salt that seemed decent but wasn’t very good. I essentially made tortilla shaped crackers. I’m high altitude, but with nothing rising I’m not sure that matters? Anyone have a good recipe they can share? I’m kinda going for authentic styles that you would get at a taco shop.
Thanks!
Sounds like they might be drying out, maybe while they’re waiting to be cooked. You can keep them under a moist towel while waiting if that’s the issue. They might also be cooking too long. I don’t have a great sense of what doneness looks like for tortillas, but I imagine knowledge mostly comes from experience.
Post pictures when you get a good batch!
I think both of these might be problems. I definitely didn’t cover the dough and the ones I cooked at a higher heat for a shorter time did come out slightly better.
Thanks for the tip. I’ll be sure to post again if I get anything worthy. 😁
