Finally productive.....

This is the hardest part...rolling it out in a circle

I made tortillas today. It's something that I haven't done in a long, long time but this time I cheated and they aren't really entirely homemade. I found a 4 pound bag of flour tortilla mix at the store and all you had to do was add water. Now tell me, how simple is that?

Next was putting the tortilla in a hot iron skillet and toasting it on each side.
You almost have to roll these out paper thin or they get too fat/thick while cooking.

Wallah....all done and ready to eat.

I put the round one, the only round one, on top for the picture, but it would have landed on top anyway because you get better at rolling them out as you go, and the best one is always last. The tortilla on the bottom and to be honest, all of the tortillas under the top one are definitely not round by any means of the imagination. They all look like little martian animals and I think I have an amoeba or two in there.

And honestly, these easy to make tortillas aren't nearly as tasty as REAL homemade tortillas. They need a dash of salt for flavor and a little bit of crisco to make them a little more flexible, but as far as being quick & easy to fix they're just that....of course, unless you buy them already made by the dozen, or you go over to Sharon's house, who makes great homemade tortillas from scratch using my recipe of course, (which was given to me by Margie, Gil's mother.)
