Cinco de Mayo is next week and who wouldn’t love some tasty homemade tortillas to go along with this fun holiday?
Making tortillas yourself really is easier than you might think and soooo yummy! You simple mix together four simple ingredients, roll flat, and cook for a few minutes on a hot skillet. Basically, if you can make pancakes, you can impress your friends and family with homemade tortillas. 🙂
What I’d really like to do is buy a tortilla press, if I had one of those, I might never buy tortillas again!
Of course, also if I had one of those my carb intake would probably go way up, so it’s probably better that I don’t.
Homemade Tortillas
- 4 cups of flour
- 2 teaspoons of salt
- 6 tablespoons of oil
- 1+ cup of lukewarm water
Mix flour and salt together, add a little oil at a time. Stir in 1 cup of water, more if necessary. Knead well and form small balls, about the size of an egg, and let stand for 15 minutes. Roll each one out and cook on a hot, ungreased skillet for about 2 minutes on the first side, and 1 minute on the other.
Do you have any yummy food do you have planned for Cinco de Mayo?
Psst… be sure to head over to When is Nap Time?, I’m guest posting for the lovely Amber today and sharing all of our favorite games with you!

I never realized there were so few ingredients for making tortillas. Thanks for posting.
Would never of thought to make these myself – they look easy to do!
Yummy! I had no idea tortillas were so simple. Definitely giving this a try!
Delicious! Homemade tortillas are SO much better than store bought. We are definitely going to load up on some tacos and fajitas for Cinco de Mayo. There are a great little taco place near us and I plan on cleaning them out… Haha!
This looks incredible! I'm for sure going to have to make this recipe soon! Thanks for sharing it with me!
Confession: I've never made tortillas or pancakes! I definitely want to try now, though! Thanks for sharing.
Yummmmmm! Those look delicious 🙂
I only attempted homemade tortillas once and it didn't go so well. I'm looking forward to trying again with your recipe!
Well these just look fabulous!! I can't believe it's going to be MAY already?! GAH! I'm putting these on my meal plan for that week!! Thank you for sharing!
I agree, so much better!
I know, May! The year is almost halfway over! Ugh.
Hehe, my husband had the young men in our ward over and they made tortillas… let's just say that they somehow ruined my pan. I think the Young Men's organization should pay for a new one, don't you? 😉
You've never made pancakes?! Wow, I love them too much to have gone this long without them. Give them a try! 🙂
Definitely super simple! And you will love them!
Well. I'm convinced I'm making tortilla this weekend.
I always thought these were too hard to make, now I am making this weekend! Thanks for sharing, I would much rather have homemade.
These look so simple to make! Next time I'm craving tortillas (which is always) and I don't have any at home I'll have to try making my own! Thanks for sharing this awesome recipe 🙂
….and now I want Mexican food. Stop making me hungry!!!
