The best budgeters on the planet do all of the little things to save. All of those little savings add up, and that is how you change your lifestyle to fit your budget. For example… bread and tortillas. Most of these processes aren’t difficult; you’ve just never been taught how to do it.
On top of that, there seems to be this aversion to making bread items at home. We’ve all been gatekept about it for so long that we convinced ourselves we aren’t capable. Well, that's a bunch of BS. YOU CAN DO MORE IN THE KITCHEN THAN YOU THINK!
These homemade tortillas are the perfect example of that. Not only are they substantially better tasting than store-bought, they are so damn easy that you’re gonna be kicking yourself for spending an extra $5 at the store to buy them.
Moreover, this is how you build confidence in the kitchen. The more you learn, the bigger your ‘toolbox’ gets. The techniques used to make these tortillas translate to SO MANY other things. And THAT is how you improve in the kitchen. DO IT YOUR DAMN SELF!
Sorry for yelling, but this is a topic I’m passionate about. I understand we all work, a lot of us have kids, and at the end of a long day, cooking may not be on the top of your list. But think of it like this: a little bit of work not only saves you money, it creates habits. If you learn a schedule of when you prep things at home, make things yourself and set yourself up for a successful week, that's a big win. And before you know it, some damn tortillas have positively impacted both your daily schedule and your work ethic.
Who knew tortillas could do all that?!?! (I did, but now you do too.)
