On Tradition & Authenticity

Flour tortillas are deeply regional and vary by family, geography, and time period. There is no single “correct” version.

This file includes two intentionally distinct flour tortilla formulas:

• A traditional-style flour tortilla based on historically consistent methods and fat usage

• A modern restaurant-style flour tortilla developed for professional performance, flexibility, and holding quality

These formulas are not presented as the only authentic versions, but as legitimate, well-documented approacheswithin their respective contexts.

• Home cooks who want real restaurant results

• Bakers expanding into savory production

• Cottage bakers and small kitchens

• Anyone tired of guessing why tortillas feel different at restaurants

This is not a thin wrap tortilla recipe and not a shortcut-style guide.

What’s Included in the File

  • Modern restaurant-style

  • Traditional-style

What This File Is Not

• It does not claim to represent every regional tortilla tradition

• It does not rely on additives or dough conditioners

• It does not include unnecessary enrichment or trend-driven shortcuts

• It does not reveal unrelated recipe “secrets” outside the scope of tortillas

Everything included is intentional and documented.
