This weeks healthy money saving recipe is for tortillas. They are yummy, cheap, and have no soy. Yep, chances are the tortillas you bought at the store have soy. These use olive oil. Much better.
Now, I must be honest. These are not as “flexible” as the tortillas you get at the store. I’m sure this is because it uses olive oil and not lard or soybean oil. We wrap them in a wet paper towel and then warm it up in the microwave and it works fine for quesadillas, fajitas, sandwich wraps, etc.
