Truthfully, I never make my own tortillas. I think they taste better, but I am all about easy, and while they certainly aren’t hard, tortillas are cheap, and it is just SO MUCH FASTER to unzip a bag, pull out a tortilla, and go from there. But taste is also important, and I have found that making tortillas myself really isn’t that hard. And again, I get to control what goes into them. Here is a great recipe for homemade tortillas.
Ingredients
- 2 cups white flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
