This is something I have wanted to try for a few months now.\u00c2\u00a0 I purchase fresh (made in the store) tortillas from my local HEB almost weekly, and we usually wind up throwing a few away that go bad before we eat them.\u00c2\u00a0 I had read several places that making your own tortillas isn’t that hard to do and much cheaper, so I finally tried it.\u00c2\u00a0 The result?<\/p>\n

It’s so easy a 2 year old can do it!<\/em> No really.\u00c2\u00a0 My 2 year old practically DID do it, except for the last step (cooking in a hot skillet for 30 seconds on each side), and they taste great!<\/p>\n

(Please ignore the choppy hair on the back of The Littlest Apple’s head.\u00c2\u00a0 I love all of his mop top hair, but the mullet had to GO.\u00c2\u00a0 It was my first time trimming his hair, an act of desperation, and my first “snip” wasn’t well received by TLA.\u00c2\u00a0 Hence the big chunk missing behind the ear shown above.\u00c2\u00a0 The other side looks way better, I promise!) <\/em><\/p>\n

Back to the homemade tortillas:\u00c2\u00a0 They were WAY better than any store bought tortillas.\u00c2\u00a0 But if you want them to be more circular in shape and of relatively uniform thickness, I wouldn’t recommend actually<\/em> letting a 2 year old make them.<\/p>\n
