Homemade Flour Tortillas

In celebration of Cinco de Mayo, I thought I would post this easy "how to" for flour tortillas.

 I LOVE Mexican food and I own one of these tortilla presses. So no excuse here. Besides, it's Food Storage at it's best...Flour and water (and a little bit of fat).

So go ahead, Try It!

Homemade Flour Tortillas

Surprise the family with an authentic Mexican dinner tonight. I made some refried beans the other day that were SO easy and Yummy too. This is what I did...

Refried Beans

3 cups dry pinto beans
1 whole onion cut in half and placed in the pot
2 t salt
1 t. pepper
3 t. chili powder
1 t.cumin
5 pieces of bacon cooked and crumbled (I didn't take the time to add this, but it would have been really good I bet)
1 jalapeno
Throw everything in the crock pot and cook on high for 8 to 10 hours

After it is done, throw it in a blender and blend it up. That is it! It freezes well.
When I made it we had burritos and I blender some and left some whole. I liked it both ways. I had plenty left over so I put some in containers and froze for late. How easy is that?!

This is how I did it.

Here is the crock pot of beans. The chunks you see is just the onion and peppers. No need to cut anything up cause it just blends right up in the blender.





See, perfectly smooth refired beans without the refry!

Which just = healthier.



AAHH, now time to assemble.

Refried beans and some whole beans, cheese tomatoes and sour cream. Would be even better with some lettuce or cabbage.



The final product.

This took me maybe 10 minutes top to throw everything in the crock pot. (I rinsed the beans only, no need to soak over night.) Then several hours later I just threw some in the blender and dinner was ready.
