Homemade Flour Tortillas

Way better than store bought tortillas. I always thought I just disliked flour tortillas, turns out I LOVE homemade tortillas! Why didn’t anyone tell me how much better they are?!

It’s a very simple recipe, but it does take a bit of effort. It’ll be worth it in the end. I used them in pinwheels, potato / egg breakfast burritos, sandwich wraps and caprese wraps.
