Helping My Human Make a Homemade Flour Tortilla for One

May 5, 2020 By: Summer Samba39 Comments

somali cat ready to help make homemade flour tortilla for one

For Cinco de Mayo this year, I did something a little different! Instead of posing in some sort of Mexican-themed photo session, I helped my human make a cheese quesadilla — with a homemade tortilla. My human figured out how to make a homemade flour tortilla for one recently. It’s actually pretty simple. And it only takes a little bit of extra work. According to her, they “blow doors” on store bought, especially considering most of a package will go to waste at our house.

You just mix flour with water, a bit of oil, and salt. Then you knead it and let it rest. Then you roll it out and cook it on a skillet or griddle. That’s it! Then you have a flour tortilla.

It only took a couple of minutes to add some cheese and voilà — you have a quesadilla. My human would have liked to have guacamole and salsa, but she can’t just run off to the store for a couple of things at the moment.

But the real story to all this is… there’s a video tutorial starring me! And you can see it below. Plus, if you go to the video on YouTube, the recipe for the homemade flour tortilla is in the description!

    Is that bottle of oil yours now that you licked it?! Lard makes for tastier tortillas, but it’s probably not as good for you.

    This was soooo much fun! Loved hearing your voice and seeing Summer! I was thinking no wonder you are so slim….you take all of that time to make a homemade tortilla just for lunch and were so patient………that’s why you are slim! You are patient!!!! LOVE your kitchen tile!!!! I think you should do more videos, it was like a little visit with you and Summer, loved it!

    With help like this, you can have one of the very
    best tortillas. I would like Summer to come over to
    my house and do some cooking. I’m sure everything
    would taste better!

    Thi s is super cool! Our grandma used to make them for mom as kids. She hasn’t had a homemade one in decades she says, MOL. Mom does seem to favor Taco Cabana’s flour tortillas though. Great job Summer! It looks super yummy. We’ve had a couple of kitties here that used to like tortillas. Mom better make us some! Great post honey! Happy Cinco De Mayo and Purrs

    OK Summer, you totally completely made my DAY. I loved every minute of this video and seeing you have a nip or two of the olive oil was such fun! You have inspired mom to actually try that. Really. We’ll tell you how it worked for us. And you were a god help to your human there. I know she’ll call on you again!
