My son’s favorite recipe since going zero waste: homemade flour tortillas!
He LOVES making these. He mixes the dough, separates into balls then rolls them flat with a rolling pin. My job is cooking them in a pan.
These are fun and easy to make. Plus, by making our own, we avoid a plastic bag as well as a bunch of hard-to-pronounce ingredients. These homemade flour tortillas only require four ingredients, which you probably already have in your kitchen and which are easy to buy plastic-free 😁 The ones we don’t eat right away get stored in the freezer. Whenever we want a fresh, warm tortilla, we just pop one in the microwave for 30 seconds! 😋
