But after that amount of time, you are going to want to place them into an airtight container and put them in the refrigerator.
How do I Reheat my homemade flour Tortillas?
When you are going to reheat the flour tortillas, put the oven to 350F and wrap them in foil and heat them for about 5 minutes.
Some people use lard when making tortillas and you can use either lard, butter or oil- they all work well!

When rolling these tortillas it can be rather challenging without practice lol
When rolling these tortillas it can be rather challenging without practice lolI really try my best to make my tortillas into round-ish circles. However, sometimes they look a little off but hey, nobody has ever turned down a soft and warm homemade tortilla just because it wasn’t a perfect circle!
I got smooth edges on my tortillas, but if the edges are jagged then too much lard/butter or shortening was added. THE BEST PART OF ABOUT THIS RECIPE IS THAT THE TORTILLAS ARE PLIABLE! I love that they don’t crack!
