Fajita Tortillas

Keep warm & soft: Stack cooked tortillas in a clean kitchen towel to trap steam.

Storage: They keep 2–3 days at room temp in a bag, or freeze with parchment between them. Reheat in a skillet.

n.b. did not seem to work out that well at the dough stage, needed a lot of extra flour..

not very pliable
