Homemade Tortillas with Tuna Filling
I don't know how many of you have ever read the ingredients on tortillas pack. The ones I saw had a lot of ingredients with weird names, a lot of preservatives and who know what else as I didn't understand.
Anytime I feel tempted to buy a pack I just flip it over and read the ingredients, and then put it back on the shelf.
It is so easy to make homemade flour tortillas that I see no reason why I should use the store bought ones.
You can use tortillas in so many ways, like this quick and delicious snack with tuna, or use it in preparing appetizers like these tortilla pinwheels or Quesadilla like this healthy Broccoli Quesadillas I have made.
You have to try homemade tortillas, there is no comparison.

Yes , I have tried whole wheat too, they are good but mine got a bit dry, guess I should have add more water to them. You can also try half of the flour to be regular half whole wheat. That works very good too.
I will try to come up with something but it will be difficult. The corn flour is different than corn meal, it is white and looks similar to wheat flour. You can not replace corn flour with corn meal. Did you try this wheat flour tortillas?
Yes, that is a good question, I will write this on the post too. After they cool completely, you can place them in a zipper bag and refrigerate up to 5 days. You can also freeze them in plastic freezer bag but make sure to place parchment paper between tortillas to make sure they do not stick.
