From-Scratch Soft Flour Tortillas
From-Scratch Soft Flour Tortillas are tender, warm, and wonderfully pliable, with a subtle richness from lard that makes each bite taste authentic. Their gentle chew and mild, wheaty flavor make them perfect for wrapping tacos, rolling burritos, or crisping into quesadillas. Serve them fresh off the griddle for weeknight dinners, taco nights, or weekend brunch spreads.

Using a well-floured rolling pin, roll 1 dough ball into a thin, round tortilla. Place the tortilla in the hot skillet; cook until it bubbles and turns golden. Flip; cook until the other side is golden. Put the cooked tortilla in a tortilla warmer; continue rolling and cooking the remaining dough balls.
