My kids are taco-obsessed. It's their favorite food. Most kids like spaghetti, or pizza, but mine can't get enough tacos. My youngest, Tessa, especially. It's one of the only meals that she gets truly excited about. We rarely if ever, eat fast food. Their extent of fast food is the occasional Happy Meal from McDonalds. But one day last week, Tessa took notice of a Taco Johns by our home. Now we've driven past this place at least once a day for the past 7 years, but for whatever reason, she never noticed it. She was just staring, in awestruck wonder, out the window and says, "Look Mom, a Taco Store!!!" So needless to say, we eat tacos (or something Mexican) at least once a week. This was the first time I had ever made my own tortillas. I couldn't believe how easy it was, and how good they were! While eating, Justin told me never to by the "crusty store ones" again.Homemade Flour Tortillas
