Authentic Flour Tortillas

DSC_4857
Homemade tortillas used to seem waaaaaay out of my league until I saw this recipe on Tasty Kitchen. All you need is a few pantry items, half an hour, and voila! Soft, warm tortillas! I found that I could speed up the process by making two at a time using two different pans. Next time you are making something that calls for tortillas, give these babies a try!
