Directions
Homemade Flour Tortillas,Great basic tortilla recipe!,These turned out really good! It’s just my husband and me, so I only made 6. We had some really good tacos with these and it was very easy!,Ok this is about the10th recipe for flour tortillas that I’ve tried, and I have to be honest they weren’t the prettiest, but they tasted GREAT! used cake flour cuz that’s what I had and was afraid they may come out tough, but to my surprise they didn’t. I have a tortilla press, but was to lazy to pull it out, but to me, rolling out the dough is the best part! I’m going to roll out circle if it’s the last thing I do! 🙂 I will make these again, with the all purpose flour, thanks for the easy and tasty recipe Charmie777.
