Homemade Flour Tortillas are so simple to make at home and my recipe uses extra virgin olive oil instead of the normal shortening so they’re healthier too! 

Tortillas are a staple around our house- always have been, actually! My kids have always like to made quesadillas or tacos or just eat them with butter and sugar/cinnamon too!  So, having them in the fridge is pretty much a given.

Flour Tortillas are super simple to make at home~ in fact,  they’re so simple that you could have the kiddos help make them with you!
