Save yourself a trip to the store!

We never seem to have tortillas on hand when we want them. I just found an easy recipe to insure that we never want for our south of the border fix again!

Homemade Tortillas

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup water
3 tablespoons oil (I prefer olive oil to insure tenderness)

Combine flour and salt. Stir in water and oil. On a floured surface, knead five or six times. Divide the dough into eight, even pieces. On a floured surface, roll each piece into an 7-inch circle.

In a large, nonstick frying pan coated well with cooking spray, cook tortillas over medium heat for one minute on each side until lightly browned. Stack them between sheets of paper towel and keep covered with a clean kitchen towel. The 'steaming' will keep them soft enough to fold or roll depending on what you are
using them for.
