Let’s make an easy no-fail tortilla recipe
Tips to use with our No-Fail Tortilla Recipe is to use the hottest water that comes out of your tap and to allow them to rest for 20-30 minutes before you shape them.
They should also be as flat as possible and while you could use your hands to do that, why go through all the extra work when you can pull out your rolling pin and use it?
Smother these in honey or butter for a snack, fry, and coat in cinnamon and sugar for a delightful dessert, or use them in your favorite taco or fajita recipe.

easy No Fail Tortilla recipe ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make an easy no-fail tortilla recipe.
- 2 cups Bisquick or other baking mix
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- scant cup of HOT water
Directions to make no fail tortilla recipe
Step 1
In a mixing bowl mix together the Bisquick or baking mix and all-purpose flour.
Step 2
Slowly add the hot water while stirring just until the dough forms a ball. I use a stand mixer for this step because it makes life easier. You could also use a hand mixer, but then you’ll have to knead by hand for the next step.
Step 3
Knead the dough for 2 minutes in a stand mixer OR knead by hand until dough is smooth and uniform.
Step 4
Allow it to rest for 20-30 minutes, covered so the dough doesn’t dry out.
Step 5
Heat over medium-low a heavy cast-iron skillet, comal, or a griddle, and cut dough into even pieces. I cut mine into 8 equal pieces. You could cut into 10 with this recipe.
Step 6
Roll out with a rolling pin as flat as possible.
Step 7
Cook for 30 seconds on the first side and 1 minute on the other side. Do not overcook. Do not undercook. You’ll get the hang of it after one or two tortillas.
Step 8
As you finish cooking each tortilla, cover the stack with a clean towel to keep warm.
This No-Fail Tortilla Recipe is so good that you’ll need to hide the tortillas from the kids until ready to use.
