There's something so rewarding about making tortillas from scratch.

I remember the first time I made them; my kitchen was filled with laughter and flour, and we ended up with a delicious feast.

These tortillas are my go-to for everything from tacos to breakfast wraps, and they always remind me of those joyful moments in the kitchen.

Plus, they’re incredibly easy to whip up!

What Makes This Recipe Special

  • Made with simple, plant-based ingredients that are easy to find
  • No animal products - completely vegan and cruelty-free
  • Perfect for beginners and experienced cooks alike
  • Delicious results that everyone will love, vegan or not

Ingredients & Substitutions

Feel free to experiment with different flours! I’ve had great results with whole wheat or even a gluten-free blend. Just remember that the water content might need slight adjustments.

Tips & Notes

  • I keep mine in a kitchen towel to keep them warm and soft until I'm ready to serve.
  • If you want a bit of flavor, try adding some spices like cumin or chili powder to the dough!

Recipe Variations

  • Sometimes I'll add finely chopped herbs like cilantro or parsley to the dough for extra flavor.
  • You can also sprinkle some nutritional yeast in for a cheesy note!

Storage & Freezing

Once cooled, stack them with parchment paper in between and store in an airtight container. They’ll stay fresh in the fridge for about a week, or you can freeze them for longer storage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these gluten-free?

Absolutely! Just use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, and you may need to tweak the water amount a bit.

How do I store leftovers?

You can stack them with parchment paper in between and keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. They also freeze well!

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk them together to ensure everything’s evenly distributed.

  2. 2

    Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the warm water and olive oil.

  3. 3

    Mix with a fork or your hands until a dough starts to form. If it’s too dry, add a little more water, a tablespoon at a time.

  4. 4

    Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.

  5. 5

    Cover the dough with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rest for about 10 minutes. This helps relax the gluten.

  6. 6

    After resting, divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball.

  7. 7

    On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a thin circle, about 8 inches in diameter. Don’t worry if they’re not perfect; rustic is charming!

  8. 8

    Heat a cast-iron skillet or a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Place one tortilla in the pan and cook for about 30 seconds, or until bubbles form on the surface.

  9. 9

    Flip the tortilla and cook for another 30 seconds. It should start to brown slightly.

  10. 10

    Remove from the pan and keep warm in a clean kitchen towel. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
