Tortillas

The other day I made one of my favorite dishes, Spicy Honey Chicken. Because it is one of our favorites I made A LOT of it (probably enough to feed a family of 6-8 and we are of family of 3, one of whom is a baby). So of course we had a lot of it left over. Honestly... I am really really bad at eating leftovers (Unless its my Cajun Pasta, thats a dish that tastes better the 2nd day). But i am trying to change my ways and eat the food already in the fridge. So i decided to do Spicy Honey Chicken Wraps (which turned out AMAZING by the way), and when I was about to buy tortillas I had one of those "I could make that" moments.... tweaked this recipe for Taste of Home and thanks to some wonderful reviews... it was perfect.

Ingredients:
- 4 cups Flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 1/2 cup boiling water
- 6 tbls olive oil

Directions:

In a large bowl combine flour, salt and baking powder. Stir in water and oil. Turn onto a floured surface and knead until you have a smooth dough. Let rest for 10 minutes.

Divide dough into 8 portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a 12 in circle.

Heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat. Cook each tortilla for about 1 minute on each side or until lightly brown.

Special Note: I found that as I got to my last few tortillas they seemed to have shrunk, so my suggestion is to quickly re-roll each tortilla right before you cook it so that it stays thin.

I have to admit I am not the creator for most of these recipes! Most of these come from friends or the Foodnetwork, and other websites. I usually tweak it, but i get them from other sources. THANK YOU OTHER PEOPLE,but please... use them, circulate them, make them your own. Just make sure you give the credit to the right person, which isn't always me!
