Relying on Homemade

It's Easter weekend, the sun has been shining and we've too extra days off work.  That's definitely something to be happy about, we should dance to celebrate.



This song is so funky, doesn't fail to get my feet moving.

Speaking of moving, that's what I've been doing all weekend. Although less of the hip shaking kind and more of the house kind. I think I'm just about organised and settled in now, but you know what it's like... I'd been trying to eat all my food up so there was less to move. This did however actually result in a domestic goddess like feast. Fajitas with guacamole and corn salsa, nothing from a packet or jar, I even made my own wraps. Homemade tortilla are amazing, take a little time not make but are not too difficult. Worth the effort. I'm just going to share the tortilla recipe today, I'm sure I'll come back to the other bits another time.

Makes 4 -
1 cup (stupid American measures but I was packing, a cup is all I had!!)
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup of warm water
2 tbsp olive oil

In a bowl, add the salt to the flour and then the oil and begin to mix with your hands, add the water a little at a time to form a dough. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead the dough for 10 minutes until smooth and flour and water are combined. Add more flour or water as needed.

Once kneaded form into a ball, cover in cling film and leave to rest for  10 minutes.  I turned the volume up at this point, did a little wiggle and then made my side dishes.

After the dough has rested, uncover and spilt into 4. Form each quarter into a ball and then on a floured surface role into thin tortillas with a rolling pin.

To cook heat a little oil in a frying pan, make sure it's really hot, and toss the wrap in. Heat for a couple of minutes on one side until golden and then flip and do the same on the other side. Keep on a plate in a warm oven while you cook the rest.

There you have, your perfect homemade tortillas. Yum.
