By Request, Homemade Tortillas

Ever since I told my dad that Dave and I made homemade flour tortillas he has really wanted to see pictures of them. So, Dad, this post is for you!

Dave often just has an idea pop in his head of something new he wants to make and we go from there. That is what happened with the tortillas. Flour tortillas are easy and fun to make. Corn tortillas take a bit more work and we have not tried those yet.

Because our kitchen is so small, we had to roll out the tortillas on our kitchen table. After making the dough, you roll it up into little balls and then let it rest. After the dough rests, you roll it out.At first I had difficulty with the dough sticking to my rolling pin. Once I covered my rolling pin and the dough in flour I had no problem.

Cooking tortillas is also easy. Preheat a cast iron skillet and then cook each tortilla 10 seconds on each side. We made fajitas to go with our tortillas. Homemade tortillas taste so much better (and are cheaper!) than the kind you buy wrapped in plastic at the grocery store and they don't take very long to make. I think making tortillas would be a fun family activity. I know we enjoyed it!
