Homemade Tortillas

Last night I made wheat tortillas for the first time - and they were SO yummy! I cringe at the price for good tortillas without the extra preservatives and junk in them, but now know how simple it is to make them at home. And they're so tasty! I used this recipe, and made 10 tortillas out of it so they would be close to the grocery-store size. We had chicken salad wraps for supper last night, and I finished them off with black bean quesadillas for lunch.

  1. Hey-- where's the recipe?? :-) Your tortillas look great! I've made them before and they turned out sooo thick and not very tender. Yours look great!

  2. They were about the same thickness as from the store - maybe a little thicker...
    I put them in a half-sealed ziplock while they were still warm so that the steam would keep them soft while they cooled...and that did the trick with keeping them soft!
    I put a hyperlink in my post, but here's the link in case it's not working for you:

  3. Hey I didn't know you had a blog! It's great! That pic looks like it's from a magazine except for the oozing salsa ;)
