NO FLOUR TORTILLAS RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese with a wooden spoon until smooth. Add eggs and beat with immersion or electric hand mixer until smooth as possible. Add remaining ingredients and beat well. The mixture will be about like pancake batter. Lightly oil your flat plate. Using a 1/4 c. measuring cup, scoop the batter onto the plate, spreading with a rubber spatula to about 7″ diameter. Microwave on HI for 70 seconds or until dry to the touch int he center. Remove and gently fun a thin metal spatula under the edges to loosen. Lift off plate with your hands and place on paper towels. Make the remaining tortillas (you should get 8 total) in a similar manner, rinsing batter residue off plate and re-oiling it between each baking. Use a paper towel or plastic sheet between them as you stack them to finish cooling. This will prevent them from sticking together. Optional, you can slightly brown these a bit on both sides in a dry non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

SONORAN-STYLE FLOUR TORTILLAS

Steps:

• In the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together flour, salt and baking powder. Place bowl onto mixer, and affix paddle attachment. Mix for 30 seconds at low speed, then slowly add lard in a thin stream. Allow fat to partly incorporate, then slowly pour water in a thin stream. Allow dough to come together, then increase speed to medium-low and knead for about 2 minutes. The dough will be somewhat wet, webby and shiny. Place dough in a plastic bag, and allow to rest at room temperature for 2 hours.
• Divide dough into 12 pieces the size of a golf ball. Roll into smooth balls, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover with plastic, and allow to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Working on a very lightly floured smooth surface, use a rolling pin to roll balls into 4-inch circles, and place onto a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer. Repeat with remaining dough, adding layers of parchment as needed to ensure tortillas do not touch or overlap. Cover last layer with parchment, and allow dough to rest 10 minutes.
• Heat a griddle or large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
• Working on a very lightly floured smooth surface, use a rolling pin to roll each tortilla into an 8-inch circle: Start with the pin in the center of the circle and roll out to the edge, rotating the tortilla after every roll. Roll until the dough is very, very thin and the edges begin to smear onto the work surface. Alternatively, stretch tortillas out by hand, rotating and pulling gently from the edges, until nearly transparent.
• When a few drops of water dripped onto the griddle or pan immediately sputter and evaporate, the cooking surface is sufficiently hot. Gently peel the tortilla off the work surface, and lay onto the griddle. It should immediately sizzle and puff lightly. Cook, rotating, for 20 to 30 seconds per side, until lightly golden in spots. Stack in a resealable plastic bag to allow to steam and soften. Continue with remaining tortillas.
• Serve warm or use to make tacos, quesadillas or burritos.

FLOUR TORTILLAS

Steps:

• Whisk 3⅓ cups (417 g) unbleached all-purpose flour, 1 Tbsp. Diamond Crystal or 1¾ tsp. Morton kosher salt, 1 tsp. baking powder, and 1 tsp. baking soda in a medium bowl to combine. Using your hands, work in 6 Tbsp. lard or vegetable shortening, melted, until incorporated and mixture looks crumbly. Pour in 1 cup plus 2 Tbsp. hot water (about 100°F) and mix well.
• Transfer dough to a surface and knead until it comes together and springs back slowly when pressed, about 5 minutes. Wrap dough in plastic and let rest at room temperature at least 1 hour, or chill up to 12 hours (preferable). If chilling, let dough sit at room temperature 1 hour before making tortillas.
• Unwrap dough and divide into 8 equal pieces (about 99 g each if you have a scale). Working with 1 piece at a time, pull edges of dough up and into center, then rest a cupped hand over dough so your palm and fingers enclose it and slowly work your hand in a circular motion on the counter to shape dough into a ball. Cover balls with plastic wrap to keep from drying out and let rest 30 minutes.
• Working one at a time, roll out each ball of dough on a lightly floured surface, dusting lightly with more flour if needed (use as little as possible) to 11"-12" rounds (they should be thin enough that you can see the counter through the dough).
• Heat a comal or large cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium-high until smoking. Working one at a time, cook tortillas until charred in spots and bubbles form on surface, 10-15 seconds. Flip and cook until charred in spots on second side, about 10 seconds. Stack and wrap in a kitchen towel to keep warm as you go.
