    That does sound easy, most tortilla recipes are much more complicated. Thanks for making it simpler!

    This is very inexpensive, low fat, low cal. If you want Indian Frybread, just fry in very hot oil (of course, high fat and high cal) but very tasty.

    Thanks for this recipe, sounds so easy to make. I buy tortillas when I see them on sale and freeze them, but there’s so many times I’m craving one and don’t have any at home. Looks like I might be able to wing this from home. I’m guessing I can trade off that flour, make 1 cup of it whole wheat flour.

    Whenever I make homemade tortillas, we eat them SO fast! They are so, so much better than store bought.

      Some people do but I don’t usually because they seem to crumble. Make up a batch and freeze a couple and see if they will work for you. Store bought last a long time just in the cabinet so I usually get them used before they go bad

    Can you make these with rice flour to make them gluten free?

        Jill could use coconut oil?

          You know I have never tried it. It might change the flavor slightly but you could make a half or quarter batch just to see what happens.
