Tasty Tortillas
I could easily eat Mexican food for months on end without it ever getting old. That’s why, when my friend Amy told me how simple homemade flour tortillas were to make, I was immediately intrigued. Turns out, they were pretty easy to make (though I did have to throw out my first, horribly dry batch) but the end result was amazing. I used this recipe and highly recommend pairing them with sauteed shrimp, homemade guacamole and some gimlets.

Wow!! That looks just great!!
I love it when you write about food! Your explanations are so … tasteful!!
wow great I’ll try it!!
yum!! must try making this!
Sitting here waiting for lunch, and you just made me very, very hungry. Damn you. Looks delish.
I LOVE homemade tortillas – they’re the best! I plan to make them a lot when we are camping for impromptu pizza bases…
You have successfully made me hungry for tortillas and gimlets at 7 am. Well done.
awww, that looks so delicious♥
Yum, yum, yum! I’m so with you on the Mexican food. My neighbor just brought down homemade salsa. With that and now your nudge, I might just have to scrap a day on the ole meal plan to sub some South of the border food. Looks delicious!
From here in Texas I definitely agree on the Mexican food…give me some guacamole, beans, rice, and corn or whole wheat tortillas and I’m a very happy girl…or veggie fajitas which I had Sunday – YUM! Your tortillas look great.
YUM, my step mom makes homemade tortillas and there’s nothing more delicious.
I love anything with guacamole.
wow, i never even thought about making my own tortillas, but this seems easy enough for me to try! thanks for sharing! i also love mexican food, i could eat it daily.
It all looks great
My husband and I feel the same way: Mexican every night would be just fine by us! We’ll have to give this recipe a whirl.
This looks delicious! Thanks for sharing, will try to make them on the weekend!
I will have to try them when I am up in San Fran in K’s kitchen;
love your photos, dear heart……will walk with H. soon…hugs!
Yum! In Texas we can never get enough of Mexican food!
i love learning to make things that i’ve always assumed were too difficult to make!
I’m doing this, tonight! TONIGHT! Oh how yummy!
Gimlets! How deliciously old school of you! I have to say, though I’m not a cook, I make a mean guacamole. So this sounds like something Paul and I could actually do together for a fun outdoor meal. Love it:)
Wow, homemade. I would never think to try to make them from scratch. I don’t eat seafood but I’m going to try this recipe veg style. The guacamole looks delicious!!!!
yummy yummy making me hungry!
yum yum — looks delicious!
So impressive! Looks delicious, and I’m inspired to make my own!
oh, your pictures are making my mouth water right now, looking at the big succulent prawns on top of the guacamole… i love wraps too, and i do think that its healthy if compared to burgers
I feel the same way. I could eat Mexican food everyday, especially homemade guac! Some of my friends who aren’t from the west coast don’t get the fascination. How can you not love Mexican food?!
I’m missing taco tuesday tonight to go to the baseball game. great seats, beer, fries, cracker jacks and red ropes, yet I’m still very sad to be missing my weekly mexican food.
I’ll have to try the tortillas later this week. I will try any recipe you put on here after trying the sangria. I’ve made it probably 6 times already and it’s always a hit.
ohhh, im excited to try this. thanks!
Oh this looks so good!!
Same here! I cannot get enough of Mexican food. And I need a shovel to get enough guac in my mouth. Your rendition looks sooo yummy! Will have to try the tortilla recipe ASAP!
yum… they look fantastic!
Mmmm, these look great!!!!!!!
yum! that looks delish!
Ooh I’m going to try this; it looks delicious
Mexican food is my favourite too! And avocado + prawns = heaven to me. Mmmmm.

You are my hero! I never would have considered making homemade tortillas until now! They look amazing!
I love Mexican food and will definatly give this recipe a go….
Oh you are an angel! Was just wondering how to make them. Haha. Love Mexfood, too.

Hanh
You take such amazing photographs of food. I don’t even like Mexican food, yet I’m dying to try this!
I love anything mexican and anything with tortilla!:)
Tortillas take time and lots of practice. I haven’t mastered them yet, but my mom makes the best flour tortillas. Perfectly round, fluffy, soft and so delicious!
Your dishes always come out fantastic!
Have you given up on fish and beer?
I’m so impressed, hon! Homemade tortillas are the best.
This all looks so delicious! Have a great day
I make the Indian equivalent of a tortilla (called a roti) all the time & the more you make them, the better they come out each time!
i need that in my life!!
That looks seriously tasty! Now, I’m hankering for Mexican.
Go you! I have yet to be truly pleased with my attempts at homemade tortillas…their always too sticky or so dry that they fall apart. I’m so impressed with your result!
Soooo delish! I have to try it.

mmm, cilantro really is the best touch on any mexican dish!
i never thought about making my own tortillas but that sounds like a great idea! Lately i’ve been frying corn tortillas to make taco shells and they taste so much better than store bought taco shells.
i’m with you…i could eat mexican food every. single. day. these look great. we’ll for sure give them a whirl!
xo
daaaaammmn… that looks freaking delish. i love mexican food as well, could quite possibly eat it everyday forever…. great post!

This looks so yummy! I love cooking from scratch too. The taste-it’s so delicious
Great post, thanks for sharing!
i can’t believe how easy these are. i don’t even have to go to the store!
OMG they look so good! i will have to try to make my own tortillas!
thanks!
i love homemade tortillas. I make them to eat with my bf’s huevos rancheros, he poaches eggs in piping hot salsa and garnishes them with guac. yum!
Damn, that looks good. Wait…am I feeling the urge to actually cook?
Homemade tortillas are the best! When I was completely broke I made homemade tortillas almost every night. They are super cheap to make and incredibly delish
.
This looks wonderful! I love homemade tortillas! My mom taught me how to make them. I don’t know if I have ever had a gimlet. Hmmm. I ‘ll have to try one!
Love your blog!
I loved this recipe! Me and my boyfriend made a night of it and made homemade margaritas as well. I do have a question…when you had the tortilla dough on the stove did your dough puff up and make bubbles? I figured it was normal but I wanted to make sure I didn’t have too much water in my dough.
Thanks so much, it was a lot of fun
Ooooh! I clicked on “this” recipe, and.. nothing… an error! Wanna make those sooooo bad, so please, publish it once again! Or if any of your girls have the recipe, I hope you´ll share it!
Love mexican food!
