Not homemade, but Tlaxcala does sell flour tortillas that are superior to anything I’ve been able to find in standard grocery stores since moving here from Texas a couple months ago. They’re in the fridge there, and properly reheated in a skillet they’re quite good.

Trying to learn to make my own too, but I haven’t got it yet. Just can’t do without quality flour tortillas in my life. People up here have no idea what they’re missing.

Sounds like you overmixed it. Gluten causes it to act Ike that. Don’t use a mixer, hand knead it. You only need to knead it about 10 times. Also seems like your batter is too thick. I’d recommend a little bit more liquid. These should help.

Edit to add: YouTube is great for this as well so you can see what’s it’s supposed to look like.

I’ll check them out, Tlaxcala corn ones are awesome! I’m just a sucker for homemade flour tortillas. I’ll be moving to Killingworth from a town an hour north of Houston so we’re gonna need homemade flour bad. The grocery stores in Texas have tortillarias in the store so they’re made fresh every day

this is gonna sound crazy, but i would check if you can buy fresh flour tortillas at fresh taco in fair haven. it's NOT an authentic mexican restaurant (it's actually run by an asian-american family) but they make take-out tex-mex style food with freshly pressed flour tortillas. i bet they would sell you some.

good call on tlaxcala, though. that's my favorite source for corn tortillas in the city.
