Homemade tortillas yo.

Don’t ask me what spurred the sudden interest of making my own tortillas but it seemed like a good idea since I had forgotten them from my shopping trip the day before and did not want to go back to the store. I repeat, I DID NOT WANT TO GO BACK TO THE STORE. I’m wearing what could be the ugliest sweatpants I own, no make up and hair that could not be tamed. I already had chicken in the crockpot that I had planned on shredding and was craving mexican so homemade it was. I found this pin to a recipe from the Taste of Home site for tortillas that did not require lard. (didn’t have any of that either) The ingredients were incredibly simple but it was more time consuming than I had planned. But now I know what I’m doing so the next round should go a little better. One issue I had was that I could not roll out my tortillas in perfect circles. Screw perfect, I just wanted a somewhat traditional shaped tortilla but kept getting misshapen ovals. I swear one looked like the profile of Shrek. They did taste good. That was the important thing.

mel - Wow, I’m impressed. I’ve never made tortillas before either. I think most places have a special press for making them a round shape, or at least that’s what I would blame if I tried too. I’m the gal who can never get pizza dough in a circle either. It usually ends up looking like Patrick from Spongebob.
Hope you had a great weekend!

Mary nguyen - I’m kind of in love with you.

Well, okay that sounded way creepier than I intended but your post made me laugh this morning.

Kudos on the tortillas! I can’t even bake bread.

Tina - whew….thank goodness I’m not alone. my pizza dough usually comes as the same too…ha!

Tina - haha…not creepy. :) I can’t bake bread either. It always comes out way too dense and blah.
