My husband loved these & he doesn't even like pretzels. He is already hatching plans for fancy parmesan, pepperoni, cinnamon, variations. Super easy & fast snack. We got these cranked out during the commercial break of our TV program

I've been making tortillas since I had to stand on a chair to reach the counter. I just want to give some pointers to make this easier for those who want to try it. 1)First you don't need boiling water just as hot at you can stand out of the tap without burning yourself. 2)Let the dough sit covered for about 15 minutes before you divide them up & roll them out. 3) If you happen to have bacon grease that adds a wonderful flavor, that you don't get from plain old lard. (Just a once in a while treat I'll give myself) 4) The rolling pin you use makes all the difference in the world. If you are using one of those big fat ones with handles on the side you are never going to get anywhere. A regular wooden pin with no handles & about an 1 1/2inch diameter is what you need. 5) If you over roll them they will get hard & tough. Once up from the center & once down from the center flip over & rotate 90degrees. 6)Practice practice a couple of wasted batches don't worry its only flour & water no big loss & you can always make chilaqueles from hard tortillas!
