In honor of my Great Grandma Martinez and Taco Tuesday, I am sharing her recipe for homemade tortillas. Here we cook with the harvest and no I didn't grow the wheat for flour but these are a must for our beans, peppers, and tomatoes.
If your missing Mexican food during this whole coronavirus weirdness try making these homemade tortillas. You'll never want to buy them again! I promise.
