Green Chile Tortillas

3 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. garlic salt
1 stick salted butter, softened
5 Hatch green chiles, roasted & peeled (approx. 1/2 cup chopped)
2 garlic cloves
1/2 cup very warm water, divided
green food coloring (optional)

In large bowl, combine flour, salt and garlic salt. Then add in softened butter and break it up with your fingertips until you’re left with a crumbly flour.
In a blender or food processor, lightly purƩe green chile with garlic cloves and approximately 1/4 of a cup of water. Add purƩed chile to flour mixture.
Add 5 to 6 drops of green food coloring to the remaining 1/4 cup of warm water and stir. Then add colored water to flour mixture a little at a time and use your hands to knead together until you have a cohesive lump of dough. (Note, the amount of water you need will vary. You may not need to use all the water, or you may need to add more.) Once you’ve formed a dough ball, knead for approximately 5 minutes. Then divide dough into small pieces to make 10 to 12 individual dough balls. These are called, “testales.” Once formed, cover them with plastic wrap and let them rest for 30 minutes.
Once dough has rested, lightly dust a rolling pin and a flat surface where you will roll out each dough ball into a flat tortilla. Cook on stovetop using a comal or skillet approximately 20 to 30 seconds on one side, before flipping them over and cooking the other side. Immediately place hot tortillas in a covered dish or wrap them in a kitchen towel. The steam will help keep them soft. Enjoy!

  1. This brought back an old memory. I remember my grandma putting some small pieces of green chile in her corn bread, it was yummy! I will try this!

  2. Didn't care for the green color, my grandson said just cause we live in Roswell doesn't mean our tortillas have to be Alien Green šŸ˜…

  3. I love green chile and Monterey Jack cheese as a sauce over pork chops and green chile cheddar bagels and also in tacos!
    Thank you for a relaxed, friendly and loving channel.ā¤ļø I am learning new ways to cook! God bless!

  4. Not too crazy about the food coloring but I can imagine how good those are. My last meal request will be a chile relleno ā€¦šŸ¤£

  5. I’m at the part where you’re making the little flat balls of dough before you start rolling them out and I’m looking at them and they look like when my mom and her sisters would make what they called Pan, and it was just little hamburger size bread that we all grew up with all the kids loved it and I was wondering if you’ve ever had that and I think if you just had taken them at that point and baked them, I wonder if they would’ve come out well. But I know that you didn’t use baking powder and they did which would make them rise a little bit I may have to try this.

  6. Hi Marcy, from Az here, can these tortillas be bought on line and shipped to my house, live outside Phoenix, would buy several dozen of need be, thank you dear šŸ’—
