This is seriously an amazing meal. You can freeze it, so make twice as much for another week. I make my own tortilla's.
This is where you get the kids involve and give them one of the three recipes, then bring them together, and you end up with a great meal.
I use an Indian flour called Atta flour. It is a whole wheat flour.This flour is used to make chapati, roti and naan breads (flat bread). It is a medium wheat, (not a hard wheat, that has high gluten) it is strong and can be rolled out very thin, without pulling back when you roll it. It is high in protein, but less in ''bread forming gluten'' so the bread does not rise as well.
Have you ever made tortilla's with plain white flour and it just springs back when you roll it this flour does not. I bought it from the supermarket. Unfortunately, I had to by 10 kg's, but it was not expensive.

I was opp shopping recently and came across a ''Nova'' roti maker. I did not know they even existed. I bought if, of course (I love gadgets) and I honestly have used it so many times. The other night I made 30 Tortilla's and cooked it on the roti maker. I have made naan bread as well.
You can also just use a frypan.
