These chewy flour tortillas are a favorite recipe we made on the San Antonio Riverwalk when I was a chef there a few years back!! I make them all the time and the addition of bacon fat is what really sets them apart from thin and fluffy tortillas.

These bacon fat tortillas are in the style of Southern Texas. Unlike the fluffy flour tortillas of Dallas, these rustic tortillas have slight chew and incredible flavor all on there own. They work best with burritos, fajitas, breakfast tacos, etc. (They may not be appropriate for making quesadillas because they tend to be a little thicker.)

By far this is my favorite chewy tortilla recipe back home in Texas and I hope you try them out for yourself! :)

Chewy Flour Tortilla Recipe:

Ingredients

2 c. All Purpose Flour

1 ½ t. kosher salt

1 c. milk

2 T bacon fat

2 T shortening

Additional- butter, bacon fat, or oil for greasing the skillet

Instructions

Heat kosher salt through shortening in a plastic bowl in the microwave in 30 sec bursts until hot.

Add in the flour, stirring with a spoon. Kneed until you can handle it with your hands. Kneed it with your hands for 3 minutes.

(This dough doesn’t have to be rested.) Separate into 6-8 balls. Before cooking, squish them out flat into little circles with the palms of your hands or roll with a rolling pin. They should be close to an 1/8 inch thick.

In a buttered cast iron skillet over medium high heat, fry each tortillas 2-4 minutes on each side. Salt each side well for the best flavor. Allow to cool. Repeat with remaining dough. Grease pan again as necessary through frying the raw tortilla circles. This can be done with bacon fat, butter, or oil.
