DIY Tortilla Time | Fresh, Warm Tortillas You’ll Actually Want to Eat

There’s nothing like a fresh, homemade tortilla that actually tastes amazing—especially when you made it yourself and know exactly what’s in it.

If you’re tired of store-bought tortillas with a mile-long list of ingredients, this one’s for you. 

Making your own tortillas is way easier than you might think, plus it’s kind of fun to watch them puff up in the pan.

Here’s a quick recipe for some easy organic flour tortillas that’ll upgrade your taco night, burritos, wraps… you name it!

Ingredients You’ll Need:

• 2 cups organic all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour or gluten-free flour blend
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 3/4 cup warm water
• 3 tbsp olive oil or melted butter (whatever you’ve got handy)

Directions

1. Mix It Up: Grab a bowl and mix up the flour and salt. Then pour in that warm water and oil, giving it a good stir until you get a nice dough that comes together.
2. Knead the Dough: Plop the dough onto a floured surface and knead it for about 3–5 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic. (A little dough workout, but nothing you can’t handle!)
3. Let It Chill: Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rest for around 10 minutes. This helps relax the dough, making it easier to roll out. Think of it as “dough yoga.”
4. Roll ‘Em Out: Divide the dough into 8–10 little balls. Roll each one out on a floured surface until it’s a nice thin circle—about 6–8 inches across. Don’t worry about perfection; homemade tortillas are meant to have character!
5. Cook Time: Heat up a dry skillet over medium-high heat. Pop one tortilla on the hot skillet and cook for about 1–2 minutes on each side. You’ll know it’s done when it puffs up and gets a few golden spots. It’s tortilla magic!
6. Serve and Enjoy: Stack them up and cover them with a cloth to keep them warm, or just dive right in if you can’t wait. Wrap ‘em around anything you like—tacos, breakfast burritos, you name it.

Tortilla Tips

• Storage: Got leftovers? These store well in the fridge for a week, or you can freeze them for the next time taco night rolls around.
• Kick Up the Flavor: Want to get fancy? Try mixing in a little smoked paprika, cumin, or garlic powder for an extra burst of flavor.

That’s it! A stack of fresh, soft, and way-better-than-store tortillas, made right in your own kitchen. Just a few ingredients, a little elbow grease, and you’re golden. 

Now you’ve got the ultimate base for anything you want to wrap up, scoop up, or fold up.
