If I find something in a shop that I like a lot I will practice making it until I get it right. Flour tortillas are one of these…they are Here’s a photo tutorial with my recipe so that you can also learn how to make them:I try and cook from scratch as much as I can. It creates less waste, is healthier and forces me to use what I have in the house.
Mix together 3 cups flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons oil and 1.5 cups water. Make a smooth dough – I use my bread machine.
Roll it into a sausage and cut into equal pieces – about 16
. 
Brush with some melted butter…This is my 7 year olds best part (see I told you it was easy – even a kid can do it!)
Roll up.
Tie in a knot and allow to “sit” for about 1/2 hr.
Roll it out again trying to keep them as round as you can.
Fry on both sides in butter or oil (very little is needed – they can even be dry fried.) They get all puffy from the butter layer and re-rolling.
Serve with your favourite chilli and don’t forget some homemade salsa.
