Making tortillas from scratch is a piece of cake! Read on…

Ingredients:

2 cups flour

1 tbsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

Water

Here’s what you do:

Mix the dry ingredients together. Start adding water. You want the consistency of the dough to be only a tad bit sticky. Got it?

Put a handful of flour on your countertop (or wherever you’re working). Now take a spoonful of dough and drop it on the flour. Work the dough out until all the “stickies” are gone (can you tell I have kids?). No more stickies? Good.

Now take that little ball of dough and start rolling it out into a nice thin circle. Then put it in a non-greased frying pan under low to medium heat. It takes about 1 minute or so and you’ll see the dough start to bubble a little and brown.  Flip it over and lightly brown the other side.

Congratulations! You just made your first tortilla! So now you can stop buying those nasty tortillas from the store that are way overpriced and loaded with chemicals!
