I will give this recipe 5 stars for the taste,texture and ease of preparation. I followed this to a tee and was pleasantly surprised how well they turned out. The only problem I experienced was it did not take as long in my cast iron skillet to "cook" them. Some areas came out a little to dark but that may have been my skillet. I prepard these to make fajitas which were delicious. Overall they were easy to make and I will definately make again. May even invest in a tortilla press!

I would give this recipe 10 stars if I could. I let the dough rest for about 8 hrs and they rolled out so well! I followed the recipe exactly. I always made my tortillas from the mix and those are better than the store-bought, but not nearly as tasty and easy to roll out as these. Here's a tip for anyone struggling to roll out a circular tortilla: Instead of starting out by making the tortillas into balls, I have a friend who works them into an almost-doughnut shape (picture one of those small cake doughnuts by Hostess), with an indention in the middle instead of a hole. And, of course, the rounder and more even you make the doughnut shape, the easier it is to roll the torilla out into a recoginizably circular shape. And, as instructed in the recipe, sprinkling a little flour over the working surface and tortilla top really allows the dough to roll out into the correct shape. Thanks for the great recipe!

I started looking for a whole wheat recipe when i stood in the grocery store, unable to believe how much more expensive wheat tortillas were than flour! This recipe great! Very easy and the tortillas taste wonderful. My husband and my two year old and one year old love them!

I only tried this recipe once but did not like how the tortillas came out. I did add 3 tsps baking powder as I have seen on other recipes and I substituted butter for the shortening as I don't use shortening. I should have read the other reviews about olive oil. I think I will try it again with olive oil and more white flour than whole wheat. I did let them stand 8 hours but my dough was really dry from the beginning even after adding 1/4 cup boiling water extra. I cooked them on an iron skillet as I have read elsewhere. So I'm not sure where I went wrong but don't use my modifications/mistakes.

These are very very good. Definetly a lot better than the plastic tasting tortillas that you buy at the chain grocery store. I used olive oil and added 1 tsp baking powder otherwide following recipe exactly. I am Mexican/American and grew up eating home made tortillas so I have had better. Will make again.

These were so easy to make! I used olive oil and all King Arthur white whole-wheat flour. It took a little experimenting to get the thickness/thinness right when rolling out the dough (and I still haven't perfected the round tortilla), but all of my first batch turned out.

I made two batches when I tried these. One basically followed your recipe and for the second I made the following changes: 1.substitute canola oil for shortening 2.reduce salt to 1 teaspoon 3.add about 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal Both batches turned out great. The second batch rolled out thinner and I had to be careful not to rip the tortillas, but they're probably a bit healthier than the ones made with shortening and you can fit more toppings on them. I didn't fry mine so long; I found a total of about 50 seconds ideal. Thanks! I've been looking for a good recipe for homemade tortillas.

I've never made tortillas before, but these were a breeze to make. The dough came together easily, and wasn't sticky at all for me. Thanks for a great recipe and for saving me a few dollars at the store!

These tortillas are great! The advice to let the tortillas sit for at least an hour is definitely key to rolling them out correctly. I use all whole-wheat flour and olive oil, and they turn out terrific. My family loves them!

These tortillas didn't turn out quite right for me, (although it had absolutely nothing to do with the recipe as I had to make some weird flour substitutions!) and yet they were a million times more flavorful and stored better than anything I've ever bought in a store or at a restaurant! Definite keeper.

These were wonderful! Resting the dough does seem to make all the difference, and this really makes a lot. I cut the recipe in half and it still made over 2 dozen. My only modifications were substituting olive oil for the shortening, and adding 1/4 tsp or so of baking soda(I would add a little more if I was making a full amount). These were so good and they keep really well.

I used the all-purpose flour method, and I added two tsp baking powder and reduced the salt to just a tad over 1 tsp...but....omigod! This is awesome. I used to travel 30 minutes to a store that sold tortillas this good. Wait til people find out how easy they are to make. By the way, I used a non-stick pan and added no product to prevent sticking, worked perfectly.

Excellent! So much cheaper than buying whole wheat tortillas at the store. Because I can not roll out a good circle shape, I turned a small dinner plate over and cut out a perfect circle. Thanks for the recipe.
