How To Make Easy Air Fryer Homemade Flour Tortillas
Step 1: In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the oil or melted butter, then gradually add warm water. Mix until a soft, pliable dough forms.
Step 2:Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with a clean towel and let it rest for 10–15 minutes.
Step 3: Divide the dough into 6–8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten with a rolling pin into thin, round tortillas.
Step 4: Preheat your air fryer to 370 degrees F (188°C) for 3-5 minutes. Place a rolled tortilla in the air fryer basket. Cook for 1–2 minutes, then flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes until lightly golden and puffed. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
Step 5: Stack the cooked tortillas and cover with a clean towel to keep them warm and soft. Serve immediately or store for later use.
Easy Air Fryer Homemade Flour Tortillas Recipe Tips
- Rest the Dough: Letting the dough rest for 10–15 minutes helps relax the gluten, making it easier to roll out soft, pliable tortillas.
- Even Thickness: Roll each tortilla as evenly as possible to ensure they cook uniformly in the air fryer.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheating ensures the tortillas puff up nicely and develop light golden spots.
- Don’t Overcrowd: Cook one tortilla at a time for best results—stacking them too soon can prevent even cooking.
- Keep Warm: Cover the cooked tortillas with a clean towel to retain softness until serving.
- Flavor Variations: Add a pinch of garlic powder, smoked paprika, or fresh herbs to the dough for a tasty twist.
Storing, Freezing & Reheating Instructions
- Storing: Keep leftover tortillas in an airtight container or resealable bag at room temperature for up to 2 days. Make sure they are completely cooled before storing to prevent sogginess.
- Freezing: Stack tortillas with parchment paper between each one and place them in a freezer-safe bag. Freeze for up to 2 months and thaw at room temperature or in the fridge before reheating.
- Reheating: Warm tortillas in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 1–2 minutes per side, or heat on a skillet over medium heat until soft and pliable. Cover with a clean towel while reheating multiple tortillas to keep them warm.
