    Wow do these look amazing! I hate buying the grocery store version because I don’t like the way they taste. Will definitely have to try these!

      These put the grocery store version to shame–I do use those when we’re in a rush, but now that I’ve had the homemade ones, I’m hardpressed to use the packaged ones if I don’t have to. You’ll have to let me know if you give these a try. Hope you love ’em!

      Can be frozen, although my mother made tortillas everyday, she also made us some to take with us when we were away.

    You’re right about that -store bought tortillas have nothing on the homemade ones. They look great

      Thanks, Megan. After making these a few times, I’m hard-pressed to go back to the packaged ones!

    I love to make flour tortillas! since my grandmother taught me I make them quite often, they are so easy and taste delicious

      Great tip, Barbara. My little one would totally dig that (and quite frankly, I would, too)!

    YUM! I definitely need to give these a try. I attempted to make some a few years ago…I’m not sure what happened, but it was a total fail. You’ve inspired me to try again…I’ll use this recipe next time!! 🙂

      BreAna, I think you’ll have great luck with this recipe – it was so, so easy (meaning even I could do it!). You’ll have to let me know if you try again and how they turn out!

    I’m totally bookmarking and trying these. They look so good.

    FYI…my first impression of you when I was checking out your fb page is that you are a great photographer. I too am not a professional photographer by any means, and I have a fairly decent camera but not a dslr camera. I hope to upgrade now that I’m into food and photography. I’d love to also take a photography class once I do upgrade so I know what the heck to do with it.

      Awww, Sherri, you’re so nice! Just don’t go back TOO far, or you’ll quickly see that I am, in fact, a horrible photographer! I’m just learning how to edit, ha ha!

    I would have never thought to use a mixer to make these. The Mexican women (mothers of some of the students), who showed a Kindergarten Class how to make them, mixed the flour, salt, and water in a bowl with a spoon. They used just enough shortening, on their fingers, so the dough would not stick. After kneading a few times, they gave each Kindergartener a piece of dough and a short piece of dowel, for them to roll out their tortillas. After each one was cooked in a hot electric skillet, each student had a few choices of how to eat them. They were delicious, and so quick and easy to make. I haven’t bought any tortillas since this demonstration, in about 1974.
