Tasty Tortillas

I could easily eat Mexican food for months on end without it ever getting old.  That’s why, when my friend Amy told me how simple homemade flour tortillas were to make, I was immediately intrigued.  Turns out, they were pretty easy to make (though I did have to throw out my first, horribly dry batch) but the end result was amazing.  I used this recipe and highly recommend pairing them with sauteed shrimp, homemade guacamole and some gimlets.

    Go you! I have yet to be truly pleased with my attempts at homemade tortillas…their always too sticky or so dry that they fall apart. I’m so impressed with your result!

    i never thought about making my own tortillas but that sounds like a great idea! Lately i’ve been frying corn tortillas to make taco shells and they taste so much better than store bought taco shells.

    Homemade tortillas are the best! When I was completely broke I made homemade tortillas almost every night. They are super cheap to make and incredibly delish :) .

    This looks wonderful! I love homemade tortillas! My mom taught me how to make them. I don’t know if I have ever had a gimlet. Hmmm. I ‘ll have to try one!

    Love your blog!

    I loved this recipe! Me and my boyfriend made a night of it and made homemade margaritas as well. I do have a question…when you had the tortilla dough on the stove did your dough puff up and make bubbles? I figured it was normal but I wanted to make sure I didn’t have too much water in my dough.

    Thanks so much, it was a lot of fun :)
