Homemade Tortillas


Dinner is always a pain for me because I don't like to cook. The main reason for it is that someone always complains. Often heard around here are the following: "Do I have to eat that?" "EWWWW!" "I'm not gonna eat that" "That's yucky" and then my favorite "Is this a recipe??" I plan all of the meals for the upcoming week around Thursday of each week and it takes a lot of brain power and research to come up with something new and exciting that EVERYONE would eat happily ( I guess I've failed in that department). And then there is the couponing part of the grocery shopping that I won't even go into right now other than to say it takes a lot of time for me since I'm not so organized. Tonight I was feeling especially lazy because last night we got to eat out. Yea for Jason's Deli and their super yummy salad bar!! I didn't feel like cooking what was on the menu for today so I decided to try Fajitas with homemade tortillas. I had no high expectations because, as I've already made the point, there is always someone in the group who's unhappy. This impromptu meal was a huge success! The tortillas turned out great: soft, rollable, and yummy. They were a breeze to make and tasted just like in a restaurant except without the transfats. Click here to get the recipe I used. It made 14 regular size tortillas which I browned in a skillet. The chicken was not marinated which I normally dislike but we used Citrus Grill spice on it from Sam's Club which is pretty good. In my excitement to try this recipe I forgot that I didn't have any sour cream so I used plain yogurt instead. It did taste different but it was good different for me. So there, another recipe for food storage. SCORE!!!
