You guys aren't going to believe this...

I made TORTILLAS!!! Yep, I yelled that :). A while back I found this recipe and thought it just might be worth trying the tortilla making torture one more time... Sure enough!! It actually worked for me and was really good! I still get happy spasms whenever I think about it :).

Ingredients:

2-3 Tbs sliced canned jalapeno peppers

1/2 cup water

2 Tbs oil

4 oz cheddar cheese

1/2 tsp salt

2 cups flour

Plop jalapenos and water in blender and blend until peppers are minced. Dump them into a bowl and add the oil, cheese and salt. Stir well, then add 1 1/2 cups of flour and stir until its a good doughy consistency. Add flour until you feel like its a good kneading consistency. Dump out on floured surface and knead in the rest of flour (add more if you need to). Divide into 8 balls and let rest for 10 minutes. Roll each out into about a 10" circle. Cook over medium heat on a griddle or frying pan (with NO oil or grease!) about 1-2 minutes on each side until brown spots appear and tortillas are very hot. YUM!!

Of course getting it into a circle shape might need a little practice...

OK. If you want to know the REAL secret behind successful tortilla making... Shhh. It IS a secret. Ready? Send your husband to the store for tortillas before you start making them. Heh heh, it really works! Just remember, you did NOT hear that from me.
