I have been trying out recipes for homemade flour tortillas for quite some time now, but I’ve never been thrilled with any of them. As per my opinion tortillas are too soggy, too sticky, too dry, too complicated. But I am so so happy with this recipe and I love the results and I think you will try this too.

The best part it you can store them in an air tight container in refrigerator for 5-10 days and reuse as per your need.
