Homemade Tortillas

I know that we all go to the store and grab a bag of tortillas and put them in the cart. Maybe we even go the extra mile to get the uncooked ones from Costco and take the extra step to cook them up. But trust me when I say that you need to stop buying tortillas from the store and you need to make these instead! They are THAT good. Plus, they are easy to whip up and I can double the recipe to make sure that I have some on hand all the time! Not only are these simple to make but your kids will LOVE helping you. They can help make and then roll them out for you! The thing that I like about making them at home is I can make them any size that I want. That way, when I make street tacos or burritos, I can customize the size of the tortilla! Entrees, sides, and even desserts can be made using these homemade tortillas. Whip these up, you won’t regret it!
