Not bad! I never used wheat flour in my tortillas before, but these were pretty tasty. I have to agree with lamusgrave about the food processor and tortilla press, but I have used margarine in a pinch before, way more than a tablespoon so I can't cast aspersions (but they were good. I made them the way my Grandma and Mom did, with my hands, Crisco and a rolling pin and they turned out fine. And most comals I've seen are made of cast iron. Grandma had 2 cast iron plates Grandpa had cut down to fit across the entire stove just for baking tortillas so we were a tortilla making machine. I don't even think Grandma Ochoa ever had a comal!

I use lard instead and I make about 16-20 smaller tortillas.

Guy Fieri, coming from NorCal, love you, love your show(s, love your restaurants (fun, love your community spirit but I have to tell you my grandmother (and aunts and mom if I told them ... I'll spare them must be rolling in her grave. Butter in tortillas? Nevah! Food processor? I'm laughing!! A tortillas press? Not for flour tortillas! Cast iron skillet? I guess that might work, but a camal is best. I'm giving you three starts for the effort, but bring in a real Mexican abuelita with traditional (real recipe and you get two more.

I made flour tortillas years ago, but they were not this good. Homemade tortillas don't even compare to store bought, excellent!Thanks for another great recipe Guy!

My first attempt at flour tortillas and they were a hit! On the show, he used a plastic bag on the tortilla press, so that's what I did and I had no problem with them sticking. Since you must roll them out further after pressing, they were a little large for my purpose, but that was easily remedied by making smaller balls to begin with. I also popped some of the larger air bubbles when they were on the griddle so they would not end up as puffy tortillas. I used them for pollo guisado tacos and we absolutely loved them! So glad I now have recipes for both corn and flour tortillas. Thanks, Guy.
