These homemade mix and pour tortillas will make you reconsider buying tortillas ever again. They are as easy as making pancakes and only require a few basic ingredients. Make a big batch and store them in the fridge for up to a week or freeze them for up to three months.

Edit: OK, so when I first posted this recipe, I was in a hurry and didn’t want to scare anyone off. However, it took me a few tries and a lot of downright filthy words to get this one right. My first mistake was the consistency of the batter. Mine was too thick and my tortillas turned out more like pancakes.

Second, I didn’t use the proper pan or spatula. During one of the early versions, my pan was too small and my spatula was too thick. You need a really thin metal spatula like a fish spatula, and a nonstick pan that’s wide enough to flip your tortillas. Yes, I know, you aren’t supposed to use metal utensils with most nonstick pans. Live a little. Your pan will be fine. Use the metal or get super frustrated like I did, and throw your good silicone spatula in the trash like a giant toddler with the vocabulary of a sailor. It wasn’t a good look for me.

Finally, I had my heat too high. You want your setting to be on medium heat. Medium high heat seemed like the right call, but it cooked to fast and didn’t allow the tortilla to properly bubble.   

Again, this shouldn’t deter you from making these homemade tortillas. Once you get the hang of it, they really are super easy. Just give yourself a little extra time to get the hang of it on your first attempt.
