My abuelita made this nearly the same, with bacon fat from her yuban coffee jar, and with Manteca. He's right, you'll never find tortillas like that at the store.

Rick needs more episodes! His videos are great, we need him as popular as Brad and Claire!

[mothastrud]

The amount of people actually annoyed at how he pronounces tortilla is actually concerning. It's not his fake accent, it's just how it's said in his mother tongue. Why do you want the word anglicized so bad when the origin isn't??

[ftbailey]

That’s literally one of the most delicious things I’ve ever seen.

[sablesoul]

People grasp at literally anything to hate on BA videos, geez. A Hispanic guy pronounces Spanish words how they are meant to sound, that's just too much!

[islengarcia]

YAAASS!! My grama makes her tortillas from home made pig lard because they raise pigs and OMG THEY ARE THE BEST EVER. She also sometimes leaves small pieces of meat in the lard that go into them

[emalinel]

also *bows down* I now have an excuse to cook bacon AND use the rendered bacon fat now. You are awesome

[TheRealGlupShitto]

The guy that does the audio mix always has the background music up too high. It is a constant problem with BA's videos. Are you trying to cover up the ambient noises of the test kitchen? Stop! It makes things much much worse. You've ruined a bunch of Claire's videos that way. Don't ruin Rick's as well

[mrpero]

He’s pronouncing “tortilla” right. That’s how we say it in the north or Mexico. Words ending with -illo, -illa, -ito, -ita can be pronounced without the double L or T. Tortilla=torti’a, chile pasilla= chile pasi’a.

[Sha-Money]

That looks awesome need more videos from this guy

[jackflorence]

I thought this was a great, genuine video, it felt like he was sharing something from his childhood.

[msabolijoshi]

Looks perfect. I loved watching how he rolled them out! His hands look experienced

[MarioLopez-sxsh]

They look incredible Rick! You also should do the fillings recipe.

These tacos are amazing. Just made both the filling (used tri tip instead of hanger steak) and the tortillas and this is definitely going to be something I make again

[CaptainBrawnson]

The milk and high amount of fat content is exactly what I needed. My tortillas always ended up too stiff and tough, and wouldn't get that almost laminated-pastry-like tear. Guess I was just being too reserved and need to embrace abuelita levels of fat in my cooking.

[ldw]

I've made this recipe twice now. Added more Jalapeño the second time around but still absolutely delicious. I can't go back to store bought tortillas after I started making my own

[colina]

I've been making tortillas with semolina flour, water, and a bit of salt. They're pretty good, but these look far superior. I gotta try this.

[Device_Guy]

Made these tortillas tonight for the family, they were awesome!

Suggestion: Everytime you coock some bacon, KEEP THE FAT, put it in a glass or something, keep it cool, and use whatever you like

that apron and glasses combination is sick
