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!
