Homemade Flour Tortillas with Beef Tallow
Making homemade flour tortillas is so easy with this tortilla recipe made with beef tallow. Because they're fresh, the flavor is remarkable.
Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 3 tbsp beef tallow
- 1 tsp kosher salt
Instructions
- Mix: Combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl. Mix with a fork or your hands to combine.
- Knead: Pour the dough onto the counter and knead for 3-5 minutes, until the dough is moist.
- Rest: Cover the dough with a towel and let it rest for 15-30 minutes.
- Roll: Divide the dough into 12 pieces and roll into golf ball-size balls.
- Flatten: Flatten with a tortilla press, rolling pin or two heavy books lined with plastic wrap.
- Cook: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle to medium-high heat. Place the tortillas on the heat and cook for 30-60 seconds per side.
Notes
If you don't have tallow, you can also use lard or vegetable shortening.
I don't recommend making a double batch. If you need more tortillas, make two batches separately.
