4 Ingredient flour tortilla

Snack time, can be as difficult as preparing for breakfast, lunch or dinner if you have a picky kid or in my case... a picky 3 and 4 year old who would eat anything but fruits and veggies. I was browsing through Pinterest pinning away hundreds of yummy recipes that I would probably never make when I came across a picture of flour tortillas. I clicked on it and read the directions, It only needed four ingredients...Four! So back to snack time, I was about to pull my hair thinking of what to serve my "starving" kids when I thought... Quesadilla! But I didn't have any flour tortillas, did I? I did! They are so easy to make. It took less than 3 minutes to put together and less than 10 mins. to make 6 flour tortillas and did I mention you can put the rest in the fridge or the freezer for later use???

Easy Homemade Flour Tortillas 

From Pinterest adapted from grumpyshoneybunch.com (Rick Bayless recipe)

Ingedients:

3 cups flour

1 tsp. salt

1/3 cup vegetable oil or 5 tbsp. shortening

1 cup warm water

Directions:

*Combine flour, salt, vegetable oil/shortening and water until it forms a dough

* Roll the dough into a big ball and take about 1 to 2 inch pieces off

*Pat the dough flat with your hands or use a rolling pin and roll into circles.

*Put the dough on a flat pan on the stove and let the sides cook until there are little brown specks on both sides like you would see on tortillas, like this!

I know, not the most perfect shape but I was in a hurry as my son was saying "Mom I'm so hungry I could die if I don't eat right now." or  "why is my quesadilla taking so long?!"

Did i forget to mention you could cut the flattened dough into triangles and deep fry in oil and voila! Homemade Tortilla chips!
