So I have been trying to make my own tortillas. I’ll found a recipe online that was flour, water, oil, and salt that seemed decent but wasn’t very good. I essentially made tortilla shaped crackers. I’m high altitude, but with nothing rising I’m not sure that matters? Anyone have a good recipe they can share? I’m kinda going for authentic styles that you would get at a taco shop.

Thanks!

    At least for corn tortillas, placing them in a tortilla keeper (steaming basket) after you cook them makes a world of difference when it comes to having pliable tortillas - you can just use a pot/saucepan with a lid.

    Baking powder in flour tortillas is common, helps them come out more like a light fluffy tortilla and less like a flat flour brick
