Homemade Tortillas

Ingredients: 
2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup water
3 tbsp. olive oli
Directions: 

In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Stir in water and oil. Turn onto a floured surface; knead for a couple minutes. Divide dough into 8 portions. On a lightly floured surface roll each portion into a 7 inch circle.

In a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, cook tortillas over med-high (almost high) heat for 1-2 minutes on each side or until lightly browned.

-This would work really well to make wheat tortillas too. Just add 1/2 what flour and 1/2 white.

These were really yummy!
