Notes
This recipe should make ten 10-12 inch tortillas. So double if you want left overs.
If you leave your tortillas at room temperature, they will only last 2-3 days. In the refrigerator, they will last 5-7 days and in the freezer, they will last for 6-8 months. In all cases, be sure they are in an airtight container
