Poor man's Luftsa. Warm tortillas, stacked with allot of butter, and powdered sugar (Or just sugar mixed with butter) between each slice. Try it, it's good.
Dude!! You have taken our country’s biggest pride: our cuisine!! And you do it right and you help us understand the right way of doing things, the way our abuelas did it!! There are no words to express my gratitude for your videos!! You were raised by amazing people!!! You make me feel proud of our traditions!!!
My Nana made homemade tortillas. She'd smear a little bit of butter, then sprinkle on a bit of brown sugar, as a treat for us kids. Wonderful memories, as she's been gone since 1974.
Growing up un the 70s, my mom used plain squishy white bread, buttered and sprinkled with sugar and folded over. My dad said that was called GI pie in the Army.
Thank you. I have tried to make tortillas like Mom, and Grandma for years. Finally, tonight was a success. They used lard. I used the butter this time. Thank you.
So, you made them and they were delish, let us know how much water and butter did you use, He must be busy cookin, appreciate you, thank you in advance Arlene 💖
@arleneh6015 mom used to do it by "feel." I am thankful that the video description had this: "The recipe is 3 Cups of ap flour 1tsp salt 1 1/4 tsp baking powder 1/3C melted butter 1C hot water" Good luck and enjoy!
@@martinchartier6204 Thank You, I could tell in video your were going by texture, taught by wonderful cook, I can tell, Love the presentations.

Nothing can stop YOU, except U.......Just Sayin😃🙏✝✝✝
Yummy. Nothing better than a fresh tortilla with fresh green roasted chile down the middle, sprinkled with garlic salt, and then wrapped into a taquito shape... HEAVEN. ❤
@voxifera2300 I just roasted 10 pounds of Hatch chile! I was raised on it growing up in NM. I used to have to order it fresh directly from Hatch for years after moving to SoCali, but many of the grocery stores now have it available here, thank goodness. But you've got to be QUICK, or it's all gone from the grocers as soon as they receive it and put it out for sale, lol... so I'm always ready in August and call the produce managers to inquire when they'll be receiving their stock. Naturally, I'm banging at their doors as soon as they stock their bins, lol. Hatch chile is a part of my native New Mexican soul. Ü
I grew up in Albuquerque and my grandma and my 2nd mom always laughed at me for only liking red chili instead of green chili. My grandma ate green chili with everything. Hatch of course was the place to get chili.
I must say after all these years making them with the just add water method ( white wings flour) This is most definitely the best tortillas I’ve ever made!! I feel like a chef making them from scratch now😆 thx for this amazing recipe!! They came out perfect ☺️!!!
@@LynetteA68 the ingredients are listed in the description above. but here you go in case you missed it 😁 3 Cups of All purpose flour 1tsp salt 1 1/4 tsp baking powder 1/3 cup melted butter 1 cup hot water and the instructions are in the video!!!
If Jose were to put out a cookbook- I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Not necessarily for the recipes, but the unique commentary he drops alongside the cooking knowledge
If only there was somewhere he could make like videos or something like that. Then we could hear his commentary on all the different foods he cooks and techniques he teaches us. Maybe one day...
Finally! The homemade flour tortillas! 🙏🏼 Gotta have lots of melted butter and chile/salsa in my hot, fresh homemade tortilla roll up! 😋 Thank you for sharing! 💚
Dude! Finally made this recipe, so awesome and easy and delicious...made the best from scratch enchiladas we've ever had! Thank you for teaching. Never purchasing from store again! 🧡🧡
Just tried it on my own. Thank you so much. I appreciate what you do. I'm a Texan, so a lot of people here appreciate the extra mile of homemade tortillas. Thank you!
Man I remember eating my grandma homemade tortillas growing up, they needed nothing but a little butter! Brings back great memories. She passed away last year, miss her ❤ thanks for sharing
May she rest in peace. I never had a “grandmother-granddaughter” bond with my grandmas or grandpas, they live in Mexico but my mom’s parents died a few years back 😕
When my grandsons were little, they would sit in their high chairs and watch me make tortillas. I would give them little pieces to roll out with their little rolling pins. Of course, I would cook what they rolled out to show their parents. Whenever my grandsons visit, I have a pot of beans and fresh hot tortillas. Their wives tell me nobody makes beans or tortillas like their "mamita". Not true, but they are my beautiful boys. Now my great grandchildren are doing the same thing. ❤There is so much love handing down family traditions. ❤
I've tried a few of your recipes/suggestions already and you have yet to disappoint. You do great work and the energy you bring to every video really lightens the mood. Thank you for sharing!
OH MY WORD! I did it! I made them! THANK YOU JOSE! ...so my old neighbor and I would call each other up and meet at the fence & trade food! She'd send her Tortillas & amazing salsa & I'd send eggplant parm or whatever. We had so much fun then we both moved away. I checked on her during covid and she gave me the recipe! Total Crisco fail! This dough is so much easier for me! Now if I could just make a circle instead of tasty lopsided circle-ish LOL
tastes the same, my sister! But secret is if using rolling pin of any kind is to move the dough one quarter turn each smooth pressing. evenly. Or buy one of those presses - put the ball of dough between two pieces of parchment or waxed paper for easy removal!
On another video for tortillas, it showed the person using the bottom of a frying pan and pressing each round ball of dough flat with the pan in one swoop. They looked pretty circular.
I made these tortillas and I had one problem. Made every shape with them except round. Triangles, rectangle, trapezoid, yup 🤣 They tasted delicious of course. Nice job 👍🏽
Snap don’t matter but hey roll twice 1direction flip 90 degrees roll 1 and keep pinching you got this and remember perfectly round tortillas means there store bought and Abuela don’t like that
I love that you did it without a tortilla press; I want to eventually make tortillas but thought the press was a required part of the process so can't wait to follow this recipe at some point!
I always used a pan. Just put some plastic wrap ( I use a ziploc bag) on the bottom of a pan so it doesn't stick and roll into a ball and press down. Kinda like a smash burger
Works better if you use a heavier pan like a cast iron but any pan works really. If you use a ziploc bag just cut it so you have 2 pieces of square plastic. 1 on the counter, 1 on the bottom of the pan
I'm East African and I live in egypt never had authentic Mexican food and there are only few resturants made only by Egyptians they are not the real deal. I started to to learn how to make tortillas at home a week ago and I love them❤❤❤

butter hits different for sure, but a well made lard tortilla hits just as well. my favorite snack is a little sweetened condensed milk on a fresh tortilla sprinkled with some cinnamon.

Happy New Year! & May this year be soo prosperous that you say MamaChristine Who????? 😂😂😂😂😂😂Stay well Always & Always ~Christine
I am so pleased. Using this recipe/ tutorial, I've had the first true success making flour tortillas. They came out great. Now I just need to figure out corn tortillas.
You have not disappointed me yet ... in fact, I would say you just keep getting better and better and better. Keep up the good work! We really appreciate it!
Same for corn tortillas. Nothing better than butter with a pinch of salt! Takes me to My Childhood with my Abuela and Tia! Soooo good that sometimes I was full from just eating tortillas!
Bro, as someone who tries to live a clean life and also with kids, one of my favorite things, I appreciate is how your videos are mature/clean. No foolish/unnecessary language. Can learn great lessons and watch with the kids at the same time. Much blessings homey
Yeah I watch many things with swearing but some of these cooking videos are getting out have hand. I want to learn a recipe not watch a South Park episode
Yep! Although it does typically does refer to corn tortilla dough, the word masa in Spanish literally just means “dough” so it could be used to refer to any dough.
We used to go to my great grandma and grandpa's on new years to make tamales. She referred to the corn dough as masa, but tortilla dough as... dough. The same with my grandparents. The term masa was saved for corn only in my family.
In Mexico it’s just flour, salt, warm water, and a lil Manteca. I have never seen someone make tortillas with baking powder or butter but they look pretty good tho just a lil too thick
This is the way my grandma makes them and she was raised in the New Mexico/Colorado area. I do think the thinner tortillas are better for burritos/folding but these are better for sopping up sauces
Eyeball it lol that’s how the best tortillas are made. Each time it will be different, it’s more about the consistency and texture of the dough that’s important. Also don’t use hot water use warm…hot will fuck it up
That's what I'm trying to eyeball from the measuring cup. My guess is 1 3/4 c water and 2/3 c butter. Don't add all of the water at first just in case it's too much. But I hope we get actual measurements 🤞
@dyduty I thought so too, that's why I said not to put all of it in at once. Maybe the first cup then 1/4 cup at a time. It looked like he had a 16 Oz (2 cup) measuring cup.
These are thicker like a Texas/Chihuahua style tortilla. Sonoran tortillas like I grew up with are much thinner. Similar ingredients (though baking pow isn’t always used in Sonora) but rolled thinner. Also, lard will help ensure the tortilla stays chewy/flexible when rolled so thin. Butter/shortening tend to make it crispy when rolled thinly.
Ive tried a few of his recipes just to expand and they do not let down. Hes my go to when i feel like trying something new. Thank you for being amazing
His casual compliments make me really happy :)
Me too :)
Me too😂😂😂he has a very good sense of humor 😅
Agreed
Hell yeah

There’s nothing better than a hot fresh tortilla covered in butter and sprinkled with salt. Makes my mouth water just thinking about it.
Hmmm... Tortilla
Amen. I've shown friends this snack before and they get weird about it until they try it.

In Honduras we make baleadas their basically flour tortillas con frijoles, huevos if you want some, avocados, crema y queso. Best breakfast ever.
In Mexico there’s something similar called empalmes except it’s 2 corn tortillas with all the stuff on top and cheese in between them
dang i read that and didn't even realize i was reading and understanding what you said in Spanish until i doubled back. All these multi-lingual youtubers are teaching me so well
@@Hi98765Spanglish baby, it’s a thing.
That sounds like heaven on a plate🤤🤤🤤
Man I’m hungry😩
@@TonyMarselle im just shocked because i really only listen to the language but reading it without thinking kinda threw me off :D
I've never seen a flour tortilla this thick and fluffy!
They're called gorditas (little fat ones) my mother used to make the best tortillas ever.
@@sheilalopez3983 well yes I was going to say looks more like a gordita, but he specifically said tortilla so i went with it
First time finally getting it down !!! Thank you! :) 😊 3 time the charm
3 Cups of ap flour
1tsp salt
1 1/4 tsp baking powder
1/3C melted butter
1C hot water...
💙🩵🤍 Jose had put the full recipe in the video description , but for those who missed it...❤
Thanks!
But what the hell is 3 cups of flour
Thank you. 🩷 I was wondering about the measurement for butter.
Thanks
You forgot the hot water.
Yes, Grandma still watching! Love it.
i am a Pakistani It's insane how much our food cultures match with yours 😅we make tortillas everyday they are out main source of food we eat it with everthing in our language we call it roti 😊Love your channel ❤
atta kitne kg ka 🤣 bhikaristan
@@maithreyeedn8945 jitny kg ka tumara shivling
@catilicious4475 May look the same but the taste is nothing like our roti. India and Pakistani have tons of different roti.
@@ushasingh2303 yes i totally agree with u i am a foody i just love trying out other peoples cultural foods but i have came to the conclusion that no matter qhich culture but still they eat roti somehow in different ways fo eg look at pizza😂 its a roti with cheese and vegetables on top
@@catilicious4475no way you calling a pizza roti with cheese bruh it's different they are both different types of bread
Loving your recipes and style! Thank you!!💁💁💜💜
Dude, I convinced my mom not to go to the store anymore to buy bread because of your video abut the loaf of bread. Thank you very much, and I'm definitely convincing her to not buy tortillas because of you. I love cooking, so thank you for that❤
🧢
Hope you're the one making the breads now lmao
I hope you convinced your mom not to go to the store to buy any loaves of bread or tortillas because you stepped up to the plate and volunteered to make all of that stuff from scratch yourself, fuh real!
Big 🧢
@@kickin-up-dust I haven't seen the blue cap emoji before (or just didn't notice it) but Googled it and oh my, that's funny! And true! You and the first person who dropped the blue 🧢 cap called it! 🤣😁👍
Such a delight to see how you are making such delightful food. Your Grandmother would be proud. From a Grandmother🎉😊
Lovely, easy and delicious 😊
Can’t tell how grateful I am for your videos.
They’re to the point, fun clips, and quick.
Because I don’t have time no more.
I know the grammar is incorrect, it’s intentional.
butter hits different for sure, but a well made lard tortilla hits just as well.
my favorite snack is a little sweetened condensed milk on a fresh tortilla sprinkled with some cinnamon.
I made it both ways , but the condensed milk and cinnamon sounds like a good thing to try
Nice , simple straight to the point , great video thank you
Something so versatile, so surprisingly simple to make
Wow nice and simple taste delicious . This chef make people fell in love more with food ..
Perfect recipe ❤I Love to make flour tortillas, everything is better with a homemade tortilla ,I am a Blessed grandma and I enjoy teaching my grand children how to make them, small children use cookie patterns and my greatest joy is just enjoying the time spent together, You are truly Amazing, Love your videos ❤❤God bless you and your Family!!
you are the best to watch bc you don’t play with time and move quickly through the video
thank you. You’re also adorable please make more videos you remind me of a happier version of my son
I said it last month, last week & today….I really Appreciate it when you go old school!!!! My man you have the elders in your soul. May God continue to bless you & yours!! Happy New Year! & May this year be soo prosperous that you say MamaChristine Who????? 😂😂😂😂😂😂Stay well Always & Always ~Christine
I am so pleased. Using this recipe/ tutorial, I've had the first true success making flour tortillas. They came out great. Now I just need to figure out corn tortillas.
your storytelling never fails to give me chills🙏🏽🙏🏽
That looks great
Oh, thank God! I have been wanting a tortilla recipe for years!! Thank you so much!
You have not disappointed me yet ... in fact, I would say you just keep getting better and better and better.
Keep up the good work! We really appreciate it!
Same for corn tortillas. Nothing better than butter with a pinch of salt! Takes me to My Childhood with my Abuela and Tia!
Soooo good that sometimes I was full from just eating tortillas!
Thank you for making it simple and to the point. So many others offer their own twist.
No music, no lard, no vulgarities... Damn this has to be one of the most halaal videos I've seen today; much respect, so beautiful.
Bro, as someone who tries to live a clean life and also with kids, one of my favorite things, I appreciate is how your videos are mature/clean. No foolish/unnecessary language. Can learn great lessons and watch with the kids at the same time. Much blessings homey
Yeah I watch many things with swearing but some of these cooking videos are getting out have hand. I want to learn a recipe not watch a South Park episode
I kinda love this guy. So straight forward and always decent ingredients.
Thanks!
Looks great. That's why I love your videos man. They're very informative and your directions are to the point and easy to follow. In my opinion
Gorgeous. I didnt know it was still called masa when making flour tortillas!! Interesting
Yep! Although it does typically does refer to corn tortilla dough, the word masa in Spanish literally just means “dough” so it could be used to refer to any dough.
Masa just means dough…
As they said it means dough. So even when making desserts you will listen the word "masa"
Just asked the same question.
We used to go to my great grandma and grandpa's on new years to make tamales. She referred to the corn dough as masa, but tortilla dough as... dough. The same with my grandparents. The term masa was saved for corn only in my family.
Thank you for your recipe. I have tried so many recipes. Your recipe is one of the best. I will always keep it. Thank you.
Thanks! You’re gorgeous too! ❤
In Mexico it’s just flour, salt, warm water, and a lil Manteca. I have never seen someone make tortillas with baking powder or butter but they look pretty good tho just a lil too thick
This is the way my grandma makes them and she was raised in the New Mexico/Colorado area. I do think the thinner tortillas are better for burritos/folding but these are better for sopping up sauces
@@blu-jay599 The thinner ones crack too much
Ola 😊 my first tortillas. Made by my gramita in New Mexico👍
Yo sí he visto gente en MX ponerle polvo para hornear. Es tan grande el país que una misma receta tiene variaciones.
Armor lard, not butter 😂👍
Gracias José! Esa receta me faltaba en casa! 😊😋
Indian here, and this is a staple in most part of our country and we call it roti.
It's bread, it's a staple everywhere.
Kek
@@michaelamundson4715but this specific kind of bread (flatbread) is native to not many regions
Except all we use is flour, water, and oil
can i make these gluten free?
Just like my daddy made mijo. Brings back sweet memories and big Smiles.
"Absolutely beautiful on both sides"... nice touch 👌🏽
Those look so good! What were the measurements for the butter and hot water? I think that might have accidentally been edited out.
Eyeball it lol that’s how the best tortillas are made. Each time it will be different, it’s more about the consistency and texture of the dough that’s important. Also don’t use hot water use warm…hot will fuck it up
That's what I'm trying to eyeball from the measuring cup. My guess is 1 3/4 c water and 2/3 c butter. Don't add all of the water at first just in case it's too much. But I hope we get actual measurements 🤞
@@lauragenherrin 1 3/4 is a bit too much for 3 cups flour to get this consistency for the dough
@@dydutythat’s why measuring would help, eh?
@dyduty I thought so too, that's why I said not to put all of it in at once. Maybe the first cup then 1/4 cup at a time. It looked like he had a 16 Oz (2 cup) measuring cup.
Corn tortilla recipe please!!!!!
Looks amazing!!! Can't wait to make them!!! Thank you for the amazing recipes!!
These are thicker like a Texas/Chihuahua style tortilla. Sonoran tortillas like I grew up with are much thinner. Similar ingredients (though baking pow isn’t always used in Sonora) but rolled thinner. Also, lard will help ensure the tortilla stays chewy/flexible when rolled so thin. Butter/shortening tend to make it crispy when rolled thinly.
This needs to be pinned, Sonora style flour is significantly superior to any other flour tortilla style.
@@oscaraldreteepeople like what they were raised with
Those are tortillas de harina
Where are the maíz tortilla receipt at 🤔
ask your mom foo smh
What’s the recipe and measurements? Please I need it
1 Cup hot water and 1/3C butter
Thank you so much
@@Jose.elCook
Thank you 😋
@@Jose.elCookif I use lard instead of butter how would it be the same ratio?? Thank you 🙏
Looks like more like
11/2 cp water 1/2 cp butter
this man is just so amazing....keep the great recipes...
Doesn't say how much water or butter, ive never done these before
1 Cup hot water and 1/3C butter
@@Jose.elCook god amongst men bro
How many minutes does he "leave it covered in the bowl"? He talks too fast in that one sentence
@@emihayashi7725
15 minutes 😊
I was taught to need until dough pushed back when poked with thumb. Looks like he rolled all out before cooking
We use butter too. Homemade tortillas are delicious but such a simple way to make your food so much better
You also inspire me to cook by trying your great recipes.❤
Ive tried a few of his recipes just to expand and they do not let down. Hes my go to when i feel like trying something new. Thank you for being amazing
Gotta try these for sure. You made it look so easy. Thanks for sharing😊
I love watching whatever he's making!❤
I love your attitude you’re sweet and comical and those do look delicious
Thanks again. I love fresh tortillas. I've never made them. But I will now.
We need you to do more cooking shows.
You have the passion, great expression and presentation.
