Nothing beats the feeling of peeling a fresh, warm tortilla off the skillet—especially when it’s made from scratch with rich beef tallow.
🫓✨I am sharing my exact recipe today so you can try these at home. Swipe through the photos to see the process of how these come together!🥣
The Tallow Tortilla Recipe:• 3 cups All-Purpose Flour• 1 tablespoon Salt• 1 teaspoon Baking Powder• 1/2 cup Melted Tallow• 1 cup Hot WaterHow I make them:
1️⃣ Combine the dry ingredients, then thoroughly work in the melted tallow with your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2️⃣ Gradually pour in the hot water and stir until a cohesive dough forms. Knead for a few minutes until smooth, then let the dough rest covered for about 30 minutes.
3️⃣ Divide the dough into equal portions, roll them out as thin as possible, and cook on a screaming hot cast iron skillet until they puff up with beautiful golden-brown spots.Using beef tallow gives these tortillas an incredible flaky texture and a deep, traditional flavor that store-bought alternatives simply cannot match. They are soft, bendy, and perfect for taco night.Have you ever tried traditional cooking with tallow before?
