Flour Tortillas
"My Mom found this recipe online and made this when we were trying to make quesadillas and didn't have any tortillas. I wished she doubled the recipe because they were so much better than store bought tortillas. These will freeze well for later, but you might want to double the recipe or you won't have any left to freeze."

I love to try new recipes, and this is a wonderful site to find new additions. I rarely make the same thing twice because it's so much fun to try something different. My life long dream is to travel the world and eat my way around it.
