The other day I wanted to make 7 Layer Tortilla Pie, but realized I had no tortillas…so River and I made some homemade ones. We made the dough and River did all the rolling work! She did every tortilla while I fried them! They turned out delicious and made the tortilla pie extra yummy! I’m not sure if I would make them again. They were delicious, but they were also a lot of work. I think if I made them again, I would try freezing them, so that I could make a lot and then have them when I needed them! The recipe made a lot more than we needed and by the next day they weren’t as delicious. I guess I could have just frozen the dough and then fried them when I needed them.
