Homemade Tortillas
Store bought tortillas are functional and that’s about it. They serve a purpose, but they’re simply not good. At least not after you’ve made your own tortillas and then have to compare homemade tortillas the store-bought 25 ingredient garbage. To make your own homemade tortillas all you need is: 2 cups all purpose flour 1 tsp salt 2/3 cup warm water 5 tbsp butter Combine all ingredients until a rough dough forms. Dump onto counter and knead until dough becomes smooth. Cover, and let rest for 30 minutes. Divide into 4 pieces for large tortillas or 6-8 for smaller tortillas. I always make a double batch and freeze the extras I don’t need. Press into a rough circle with the palm of your hand. Roll thin, then cook on a pan pre-heated to medium heat for about 60 seconds on each side...until small brown spots start to form on cooking side. Flip and repeat until all tortillas are done. Use immediately or allow to cool then place into a bag and into the fridge for 6-7 days or the freezer for months. Warm before reusing. I don’t know exactly when, nor when our food companies turned into morons and started adding a bunch of nonsense into our foods, but you can start telling them to piss off by swapping homemade store bought junk for good quality homemade foods like these tortillas. Enjoy! Jake

Homemade tortillas are the best! I started making these a year ago and never went back to store bought. We do ours on our Blackstone griddle and make a ton at once and freeze them!!
Perfection is a myth!
I put a lot of effort into making sure that my content is NOT super polished. I make food/meals that anyone can make, and therefore I make videos that, for the most part, look like anyone can make. It’s why I still do, and likely always will, shoot my videos on my iPhone. I could whip out my wife’s professional Canon camera and set up all the lighting and have some very high quality looking videos posted on social media, but that’s not what I’m going for. I was, after all, a wedding videographer for a handful of years. When someone comes across my page I want them to realize that the meal is easy enough to make that they could do it too! That’s why I share stuff like the below picture. Life happens, and yesterday life happened. I started making some hoagie rolls for tonight’s steak sandwiches, and I was also doing some projects in the house all day. I ended up letting these rolls over proof, so they ended up flat. However, they still taste amazing. And they’re made with real, quality whole food ingredients, unlike that which we find in grocery stores. So let this be a lesson. It doesn’t have to be perfect. You just have to put in the effort to get it done and that’ll take you 95% of the way there. And when it comes to feeding your family…95% of the way there is pretty darn good! Cheers! Jake
