Making flour tortillas...

When I lived with my parents we used to eat homemade tortillas along with homemade salsa and carne asada. =) Whenever I'd come home from school my mom would have fresh tortillas waiting for us along with a molcajete full of freshly made salsa. Mmm yum! Makes me hungry just thinking about it.  Now, as an adult I don't live with her anymore or anywhere near her for that matter but whenever I do visit her she always makes me some tortillas...and salsa too! I live on the other side of the ocean from her so I thought I'd make a little something that reminds me of her. Some fresh homemade tortillas! This is my second batch of tortillas that I've made. I think they look a lot more realistic than the first ones I made months ago. =) I am still working on it! And since I don't have access to a miniature shop around here I went ahead and made my own rolling pin. Some wooden ones I ordered are on their way! =) But this was good enough for now. I am giving this away to my mom. I will be putting a magnet on the bottom in case she wants to put it on her fridge. But it can also be displayed on a shelf or somewhere else. =)
