I used to love making homemade tortillas with my grandma as a child. She’d let me roll out the dough and give me cookie cutters to cut them into whatever holiday shapes I wanted.

I’m not sure why I no longer make them everyday, but they’re so easy and cheap to make, plus they taste 100 times better than any kind bought in the store, and best of all – they don’t have any lard!

As shown in the photo, it pairs really well with Mexican Rice: https://plantbasedonabudget.com/recipe/mexican-rice/

Ingredients

2 3/4 cups flour - I used unbleached all-purpose, but whole wheat works too
