Personal Notes:
Our mom's tortillas were always so soft and delicious. We knew the reason they were so good was because she made them with love. Now the smell of them cooking brings back the most wonderful memories. This is her special recipes. Mom didn't measure out the ingredients for her tortillas so when she showed me how to make them we came up with the approximate measurements for the recipe.
