This recipe is wonderful! As tortilla recipes go they are very tempermental. This one is easy to follow and quite basic. I have tried many tortilla recipes and they usually turn out crispy like crackers. Cooking for 1-2 mins may be too much, I only cooked them for about 30-45 secs (or about 20 secs each side). They are a bit plain, but I am more concerned with consistancy and these are pliable and easy to cook with.

Excellent recipe! Those of you who don't like to roll your out or are finding too much work for you, buy a tortilla press. They cost about $20 and are worth every penny!! I couldn't live without mine and this recipe is perfect with it! It makes it worth making them!!!

I usually use my grandmother's recipe but was unable to get a hold of her. This recipe was just about the same and they came out just like Grandma's. If you're not used to making tortillas or grew up around them daily the rolling out of the tortillas can be tricky. Just a couple of hints: Sprinkle a little flour on your surface and your rolling pin to keep the dough from sticking. Start in the center and roll up once and back to the center to roll down and then you need to keep turning the tortilla a couple of inches after you roll it out. It's so much easier once you get the hang of it. Store bought tortillas just don't taste like the real thing.

I found that it takes more time than it is worth to make tortillas.They come out dry and stiffer than the bought ones . Unless your having a lot of help, it isn't worth it.

I have tried making tortillas in the past without much success. This was the easiest dough to roll out! It was like playdough. I will be making these again.

Maybe I did this wrong, but I didn't like these at all. I didn't like the texture of the dough - it was really difficult to work with. The finished product was okay, but I'm still looking for the perfect tortilla recipe.

This is the first tortilla recipe I've found that makes tasty, pliable tortillas. They keep well for several days when sealed in a ziplock bag. Delicious and fast to make!

These were very easy to make and so delicious, but soooooo very difficult to roll out. At first it was easy when the dough was still warm... but it got tougher and tougher. I halved the recipe and got more than enough and had a good workout in the kitchen with the roller. *lol*

This was a great recipe. I never knew how easy it was to make tortillas. The only problem is, the rolling part is sooooooo tedious and long. You just can't get them thin enough, and after I make half the batch, I end up throwing hte rest of the dough away. I think next time, I'll try using a pasta maker to roll the dough really thin. hope it works!

These are fun and easy to make, and my family prefers them to store-bought. In a pinch the other day, I bought some tortillas, and my family all agreed thay my home-made ones were much better. Definitely a keeper!

Ugh this was awful. The prep was simple but the results were dreadful! I followed directions exactly but the tortillas turned out very bland and very lifeless. Luckily I had store bought tortillas on hand. DON"T WASTE YOUR TIME!

My daughters wanted to make homemade tortillas so we looked this recipe up. The final product was okay, but the proportions must be way off! If the original recipe makes 5 dozen are they the size of quarters? We rolled ours very thin and never came close to the amount specified, other than that it was a fun day making our own tortillas.

These were pretty good, although they weren't quite as good as tortillas at resturants. But I still liked them.

This was my first time making homemade tortillas and this did NOT work. My husband tried it a second time and he has been making tortillas all his life and it did NOT work for him either. I will keep searching for a better recipe. He thinks it had way too much flour.

These tortillas are wonderful! I'd recommend that people use good quality flour. I also used unbleached flour, and I can't tell you how good they turn out. I'd recommend to people to make sure they're measuring the flour properly- these are easy to make if you do it right. LOVED them!

I added a lil more salt and used extra lard instead of shortening. This was great! It stores well and good for tacos and burritos!

When I scaled this recipe to make one dozen tortillas, it really came up short. I was able to get four relatively small tortillas. However the taste was wonderful. My friends really enjoyed the tortillas.

I did not like these. They were more work and actually tasted worse than tortillas made with only flour, water, and salt. I will not be making these again.
