    THANK YOU! I am a 60 year old white woman getting ready to make tortillas for the first time. I am sick of the breaking and cracking of store bought tortillas. I have been devouring YouTube videos, but this one has been the most helpful. I have to DIY a press for now, but I will be jumping in to the process in 2 days. Wish me luck!
  • @drewdallas808
    This might be one of the best videos I have watched about making tortillas 🌮🌮🌮
  • @earlystrings1
    I’ve watched so many abuelas make tortillas on YouTube trying to figure this stuff out and none of them ever explained the moisture level or the pan issues. Thank you!
  • I must say, that this IS the best video on how to make tortillas period whether flour or corn, and I’ll tell you why I say this. I have invested a lot of time in trying to get my tortillas to puff up, with zero success, and I watched so many videos, that I have lost count on how to make the perfect tortillas, and none, I reiterate, “none” of them ever (once) stressed or even bothered to mention how important the water ratio is in conjunction to making the tortillas rise. None of them mentioned how important it is to make sure that your dough is moist enough, and WHY! None of them even bothered to tell you how to test if your dough is the right consistency, or too dry. Yes, you are the best at making tortillas, and you now have a brand new subscriber!!!

    Really nice video, seriously. I like that you went through all the details, humidity, water content, how to check for adequate hydration in the finished dough, AND covering it to keep it from drying out. Learned a lot, I actually just weigh everything now so I don't have to constantly do the guess work every time I make the dough, but this was a perfect way to get to that desired point. Keep up the great videos my friend. Wishing you huge success.

    You are the first one to explain why the tortillas puff up. I have seen many videos, but no one ever explained it. Thank you very much. I loved your video... It was pretty entertaining too.
  • Ok this was the BEST and most entertaining “how to make tortillas” video I’ve ever seen! 😂😂😂😂

    The best explanation on making tortillas I’ve found. Thank you!
  • @yummyklown9226
    Ive watched a lot of video's on how to cook tortillas. Yours was far the best, especially how to check if it's hydrated enough or not. Unfortunately my first attempt was the last one. I'll try again!❤
  • I appreciate the comedy insertions - just the right amount, the right length. Great job!
  • @Purlava
