Want to learn how to make Tortillas in your Thermomix? We've got the BEST recipe (and it's yeast free!) and ALL of the tips you will need to make perfect Tortillas at home.
One of the very first recipes I ever made in my Thermomix were these super easy homemade Tortillas. I used to make them pretty regularly in my pre Thermomix days, but it's one of those recipes which has been made so much easier.
We use these Tortillas in so many ways, filling them with everything from salads and cold meats, to being used as a light pizza base to filling them with chilli con carne - you could even fill them with Lucy's yummy Chicken Parma Bites!
I always seem to have a little helper hanging around when it comes time to roll these, and this is a pretty robust recipe if you decide to get the kids involved.
Tips for Making Tortillas in Your Thermomix:
- Your dough will be sticky, use some of extra flour to cover your bench and also your rolling pin to help you roll out the tortillas.
- It is normal for the tortillas to spring back a little after you roll them.
- You can use regular plain flour or wholemeal flour for this recipe if you wish - you may need to add a little extra water if using wholemeal flour.
- These tortillas can be frozen once cooked.
- To store, place into an airtight container and eat with two - three days.
- You can make your Tortillas larger or smaller, the cooking time will vary.

How to Make Tortillas with your Thermomix
Ingredients
- 370 grams bakers flour plus extra for dusting
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 180 grams lukewarm water
- 40 grams olive oil
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Place all of your ingredients into your Thermomix bowl and blitz on speed 5 for 10 seconds to combine.
- Set your Thermomix onto the kneading function and knead for 2 minutes.
- Tip the Tortilla dough onto a floured bench and using your hands roll it into a ball.
- Divide the dough into 10 even pieces (or 8 if you want to make larger tortillas) and roll them out into a circle as thinly as you can.
- Place a single tortilla into a preheated frying pan (you do not need to add oil or grease) and cook for 1 - 2minutes or until bubbles start to form on the surface of your tortilla before flipping it over to cook for a further minute on the other side.
- Remove the tortilla from your frying pan and place onto a plate and cover with a tea towel, or place in your Thermosever.
- Repeat until all of the tortillas have been cooked.

What was the first recipe you ever made in your Thermomix?
Kimberley Jepson says
Great easy recipe. A hit with the entire family. Be great to add some spinach and garlic. Will make these instead of buying.
Lucy says
Fantastic!
Mireya says
Hi! Thanks for the recipe, I made them yesterday and they’re really easy and good. Are they supposed to be hard after cooking them or rather soft and flexible? Mine were hard, maybe because of the flour of the working area or because of too much cooking? Thanks!
Anna says
Fab recipe ...just finished eating half the dough made into tortillas . I've. Seen comments about putting tortillas in fridge up to a week. How about keeping the dough in there ? How long would the dough keep please ? Thanks
Chantel Corless says
Easy to prepare and tasty, perfect addition to pulled pork.
Me says
Can I use all-purpose flour instead?
Lauren Matheson says
Yes, you sure can
Siobhan says
Oh my goodness, these are almost fool proof. Thank you so much. I will be making them using cornmeal tonight!
Lucy says
We're so glad you like them!
Siobhan says
Update: don’t use cornflour. It was a complete failure. However, playing with replacing some flour with cocoa and sugar to make a quick dessert tortilla is a winner!
Zoey says
These are so great and so easy I’ve made them three times now! Just wondering do you know how many calories each tortilla has?
Lauren Matheson says
Thanks so much Zoey, I don't know the number to calories in each I'm sorry x
Tan says
Perfect! Will never by store bought again.
Lucy says
We LOVE hearing this! Thank you!
Krista says
Very yum. Make them over and over again
Lucy says
Thank you so much!!!
Tammi says
I made some modifications based on another online recipe but used your technique with my TM5. Worked like a charm, so thank you!
For 8 medium tortillas, I used:
- 250g flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 35 g oil
- 120 g warm water
Lucy says
Fantastic!
Wai Hun Lee says
Hi, may I know how long can I keep in the fridge?
Lauren Matheson says
Hi, I keep these in the fridge for up to a week - they can also be frozen though.
Tamara says
Hi, great recipe! Do these keep (for next day lunches?) How is it best to store?
Thanks 🙂
Lauren Matheson says
Thanks Tamara! Yes they sure do keep for the next day. I normally cover mine with a tea towel and store in a cool dark place. However with the humid temperature we've been having here in QLD lately, I've started to keep them in the fridge xx
Claire Walker says
Can this recipe be doubled in the tm5?
Lauren Matheson says
Hi Claire, thanks for your message! I wouldn't double it, it's probably easier to just make two batches xx
Lisa Chandler says
My family and I love this recipe, I never buy tortillas anymore. I double it often in my TM5 with no problems.
Lucy says
Love this recipe Lauren! I made chilli con carne last night just so I could make some of your tortillas to go with it!
Sammie @ The Annoyed Thyroid says
I love that you can make these with plain flour, I've been making some of my own but with bakers flour and they're a tad unwieldy. Shop bought ones have so many added nasties, it's much more fun to make your own. I can't wait to try these next time we have Mexican on the menu!
