TORTILLAS

INGREDIENTS:

2 cups flour tortilla mix
1/2 cup warm water

Preheat griddle to 400-425 degrees.  Add warm water to tortilla mix in a large bowl.  Mix well.  Knead for about 5 minutes until dough is smooth and elastic.  If dough appears sticky, add a little more mix.  Cover dough with a damp cloth and let rest 15 minutes   Divide dough into 8 portions.  Roll out on a lightly floured surface to 1/8 inch thickness.  Cook 1 1/2 minutes on each side until lightly browned.

YIELD: 8 tortillas

 

Steve made a double batch of the flour tortillas and they certainly were good.  Tortillas are served in Texas like we serve toast and biscuits back here in North Carolina.  I picked up a bag of Tortilla mix and will give it a try in the very near future.  Anyone that has not had fresh home made tortillas, you owe it to yourself to do so.  The "store bought" ones are certainly not as good!   Steve's Mother Connie had the edge on him for rolling the tortillas out in a circle, but Steve's tortillas were outstanding!
