Homemade Tortillas

Haven't tried this yet. Just putting it here so I know where to find it when I do! Thought it would be a great recipe using my food storage.

Tortillas

Ingredients

• 2 cups flour
• 1/2 teas baking powder
• 1/2 teas salt
• 2 Tablespoons of butter (softened)
• 1/2 cup of warm water

Combine flour, baking powder, salt and butter in a medium bowl.

Gradually add water and mix until a smooth dough is formed. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.

Roll dough into one and one-half inch balls. Set on a plate and cover. Let rest for ten minutes.

Flatten one ball at a time between two small plates and then roll into a six inch circle.

The flatter you roll the dough the more it will resemble soft tacos, thicker dough is more like a gordita.

Place the tortillas on a griddle and cook over a medium heat until the tortillas turn white, then flip and repeat.

Ready to eat.

You can even make these for dessert. Just follow the recipe above and when the tortillas are right off the griddle, butter them and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Delish!

Caramel Apple Dip

The perfect fall treat! I make this every year and could eat it by the spoonful. The special ingredient is the small amount of cinnamon!

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
3/4 cup light corn syrup
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

Heat the above ingredients over medium heat. Stir. Be patient and don't turn up your heat- you don't want it to burn on the bottom!

When above mixture is smooth and brown sugar has dissolved completely, remove from heat. Stir in the following in the slightly cooled caramel mixture:

1 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp cinnamon
pinch of salt

Pour into serving bowl. Serve with apple wedges.

Marci's Nachos

1 can cheese soup
1 can fiesta cheese soup
1 cup sour cream
4 oz cream cheese
1 can chili, not con carne
1/2 cup salsa
milk for each soup can as directed on back of can

Mix all together and heat in crock pot, or pan if you are in a hurry. Serve over tortilla chips. Very yummy!

Bacon Chestnut Tidbits

These make a really yummy and inexpensive appetizer! They remind me of our annual ward memorial day picnics that we had every year in Cincinnati.

1 lb. bacon (good quality)
2 cans whole water chestnuts
1 c. ketchup
½ c. sugar
2 Tbsp. soy sauce

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cut each raw bacon strip into four pieces. Wrap each piece of bacon around a water chestnut and secure with a toothpick. Place on a jelloy roll pan and bake for 10 minutes. Drain fat and place bacon-wrapped tidbits in casserole dish. Mix ketchup, sugar, and soy sauce and pour over top of tidbits, avoiding toothpick tops. Cover and bake for 15 minutes more. Serve warm on a platter. Makes approximately 72 pieces.
