You haven’t lived until you have had real homemade tortillas made with real lard. These tortillas are made from real pasture-raised, not hydrogenated vegetable oil or hydrogenated lard. This versatile tortilla recipe makes delicious tortillas that have amazing texture and are nothing like store-bought. They are worth the work! Here’s my method and some pictures of me and my helpers making tortillas!
The mixer is loud, but definitely an essential part of tortillas. Shevi supervises.
Knead the dough for about 5 minutes to make it nice and stretchy.
Shevi is quite good at rolling the tortillas. Even wearing underpants!
There is a place for babies in the kitchen, too. Axl gives orders and helps roll the tortillas out.
We watch the first tortilla start to bubble. Axl decided this one needed a vent hole.
When it has a good number of bubbles, flip it with a fork!
This is about what they should look like after flipping. This one could have been a little browner. Simple, delicious. Definitely beats store-bought!
We ate the tortillas before we remembered to take a final picture. Oh well!
Use them for homemade soft tacos, breakfast burritos, or to dip in lacto-fermented salsa and sour cream.
