I followed this recipe and scaled it to 500g of flour (I made 15 tortillas).

It took me an hour and a half (2 hours if you count cleaning). I was wondering if there are better recipes out there to streamline the process.

I am trying to meal prep, that’s why I want a big batch of flour tortillas so I can make a wrap and freeze (or freeze the tortilla individually).

    Ivxferre has good advice. My go-to is 3 cups flour, 1/4 c lard/butter and 1 C warm water gets me 12 tortillas depending on size, I get about 7-8 inch. I prefer em pretty light and thin, I don’t like the Cozumel thick kind. 4 cups flour/ 1 1/3 cup water, etc. to make 16. I can’t say what the measurements are by weight, but I don’t spoon my flour into cup measure, I scoop and level.

    I usually make the dough and let it rest while I take a break and do something else so it’s not such a laborious process. If you can get a partner to work the pan while you roll it can go very fast. The more times you do it the faster you will get, it’s always slow the first time to try a new thing.
