  2. Thanks for these Lori, back in 1986 after we married we lived in London England they did not have flour tortillas so every week I made my own a couple years later the stores there started carrying them so after that I stopped making them. My old recipe is still back in England since I have 2 teenage girls now I want to show them how to make them. Thanks Lori!
