I've been making flour tortillas at home for about 15 years, and honestly, necessity started it all. When I moved to California's Central Coast from Mexico in 2001, I just couldn't find flour tortillas that tasted like home. So I started making my own, and I never stopped.
I have over 40 years of experience cooking authentic Mexican food, and keeping those techniques alive, the real ones, the ones passed down through generations, is something I'm truly passionate about. Flour tortillas are a big part of that.
In 2009, I started www.mamalatinatips.com, a bilingual blog where I share real Mexican cooking, culture, and a little bit of everything that makes our food so special. And in 2022, I won Season 1 of PBS's The Great American Recipe, which still makes me smile every time I think about it. By the way, you can still watch it on the PBS video app.
But the reason I created Flour Tortilla 101 is simple: I've seen so many home cooks give up after one frustrating attempt, and I know it doesn't have to be that way.
In this course I'll walk you through everything I've learned, the small things that actually make the difference. No fancy equipment, no complicated techniques. Just good tortillas, made with your own hands.
Your family is going to love them. Come on in, I'll show you how
I recently took the Flour Tortillas 101 class from Silvia, and it was a fantastic experience. Silvia is so fun to learn from, and made the process of making homemade tortillas incredibly easy and enjoyable. Her step-by-step guidance and the detailed videos were perfect! I had made tortillas several times in the past, but the dough was always hard to roll out and I could never get the tortillas to come out right. If you're a beginner or have made tortillas before, you can definitely benefit from this class!
The class covers everything from ingredient selection to cooking the tortillas, with each step clearly demonstrated by video instructions.
The recipe Silvia provides is simple and delicious. Following her instructions, I made the best batch of tortillas I've ever cooked. This class is a must for anyone wanting to learn the art of tortilla making in a fun, accessible way. Highly recommended for a rewarding and flavorful experience!
