That’s fine, they’re just rustic style.
You don’t use a press for flour tortillas, just rolling pin and stretch them out before putting them on the comal.
GORDITAS 🌮 🌮
I don’t know… they look pretty tasty to me.
lol my grandma would get flour tortillas real thin almost see through. It’s an art.
It is fine… you just got oversized gorditas now.
There’s nothing wrong with them but if you want them a bit more flat after you go over it with the rolling pin you can try stretching the out with your hands. By putting you four finger tips on the tortilla with both hands and kinda stretch your way out starting from the center.
Tortillas de harina in my experience are a lot harder to get right than corn. Let your dough rest before extending it a good hour. And extend the tortilla in a well greased surface. Mine never really turn round per say, but we devour them. There’s special tortilla press for flour. You put the dough and press, but this press is gonna be hot. And the women I have seen them stretch them by hand, they’re just amazing but I can’t never get to their level. So don’t be so hard on yourself. Best case scenario is you have made gorditas de harina. Worst one? You only get to eat one lol
They look nice, my secret to thin rolling is rest the dough for a longer than average time
Perfectas para unas gorditas
I think they look awesome !
Did you use lard? 😋
You can just make some delicious sopes, with some refried beans, creme fresh, lettuce and salsa.
sometimes i like the thickies
Did they fold without cracking?
You don’t use tortilla press for flour tortillas. That’s for corn only.
I struggled with mine too. It got better when I used more water than what the recipe called for.
Looks good – I can smell them through my iPhone! 😋
