    Oooohh...my....GAWD!! This is the tortilla of my dreams! I can't tell you how many tortillas and recipes we've tried...all in the hopes of finding/creating the very properties this one has. Do not let yourself or anyone else minimize the sheer brilliance of your recipe and the technique you've just created. It may seem incredibly simple now... but that's only because an absolute genius finally cracked the code and translated it into a comprehensable form. Finally...we are a giant leap forward in our quest for Burrito Nirvana. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!!

    Back here two years later, still wish you posted. Such a great vibe and video. These have been my go tortillas for two years now.
  • Yep, it works. I just made some smaller ones for flautas. They came out gossamer thin. I put one on the printed recipe and I could see text through the tortilla. Thank you for such a good recipe. ☺ —Dennis

    I was skeptical but I literally just ate my words. Hahahah. Truly genius. My husband is in amazement. I am gloriously grateful thank you!!
  • My grandmother is from Sonora and passed two years ago, I was able to get her tortilla recipe before she died. Last night I tried making them and they kept coming out hard and dry. I used her recipe with your technique and it worked! Thanks
  • You've incorporate science and art. That's a passionate cook's bonus. Your technical descriptions were offset by your real time demonstrations. Truly enjoyable video. Thank you for creating and sharing.

    I have a lot of tortilla experience. I've always wanted to make Sonoran style but could never get it right, by that I mean thin enough. Your creative technique took a few times to get it dialed in, but now I make truly amazing tortillas. Thank you for this video!

    As a true Sonora Latina I’m excited to make this 😁 idk about the blow torch but I love ❤Sonora tortillas, still reminds me of my Nana who passed away in Mexico. Good job 👏🏻

    I’ve been looking for this recipe forever. Thank you for posting this and doing all of the research for us. This is the absolute BEST flour tortilla recipe out there.

    Wow and Holy Moly I have struggled getting really nice thin retch and chewy tortillas until I found your video. This is ingenious. And it will be my go to recipe and method. This is nothing short of brilliant. My first set already turned out beautiful unlike the ones that I made where you put the fat in right away and you just don’t have that nice stretch. Thank you, thank you thank you for making this wonderful video and taking the time to figuring out a great way for a home cook to make these wonderfully thin, chewy yummy tortillas

    How is this the first time I've heard of this? I've watched countless videos that apparently taught me to make two tortillas together, then I've struggled with them being too thick to wrap burritos. I've WASTED SO MUCH FLOUR AND TIME! And when i make them, they bubble up like balloons. I always assumed that was bad. But that's perfect!? This is an absolute game changer. Thank you!!!
  • @DebCupples
    These came out exactly as described. They really do peel apart easily and are perfectly chewy and delicious. Definitely my new go to recipe for tortillas. Thanks for the excellent step-by-step instructions. I used ghee for the fat in the recipe and they turned out great.
  • I grew up eating these as a kid in Hermosillo and I am THRILLED to try this, thank you so much for sharing
  • @ianalin1129
    Wow like how peking duck wrappers and dumpling wrappers are made. Amazing!
  • I had to watch this video a few times to comprehend all the effort gone into this killer recipe. I was confused because the complete recipe was not mentioned. I was like How much flour, no salt? Then I went to her website for the complete recipe. All makes sense now lol. Thank you thank you

    I love that you left in "bloopers" in the actual video rather than editing it out. It feels raw and real, and I can relate personally to it ❤ Love your content! I have your book and I'm working my way through it!
  • @stephenwalsh2213
    This was the best tortilla I’ve ever had. Absolutely incredible. Thank you.
  • @bigfamilyaffair
    Are you a scientist? You have definitely cracked the code. I love your method and explanation. Thank you!

    I used to live in Tucson, and crave this type of tortilla. Different process, but looks like you nailed it
