They're much easier to adapt and substitute and still get something good. Ty, I like that about basic recipes. They're much easier to adapt and substitute and still get something good.

Thanks for the recipe and step by step instructions.

Home-made wraps would be great. Joli, I'll have to try these without the baking powder. Home-made wraps would be great.

You won't want the "convenient" kind any more. Bethany, that's the problem with making something from scratch for the first time. You won't want the "convenient" kind any more.

I used half bacon fat and half lard, which I got at the farmer's mkt and was straight lard, rendered down the street. mmmm. my boys are in love with it as they're so soft they don't break when making tacos, cause for meltdowns in this house. Now my hope is to make them with sprouted flour to make them even healthier :).

I'll probably go half-and-half (bacon fat and butter) next time. Come back and tell me how it works. I'll probably go half-and-half (bacon fat and butter) next time.

I'll try butter. The last time I made flour tortillas I used shortening and they DID NOT turn out at all. Butter's better anyways! Thanks Drew! I'll try butter.
