Awesome as a quick weekday meal, makes excellent left-overs, just kind of a pain depending on the amount of veggie prep that you're doing. If you use some good shortcuts, you can be up and running with a few minutes prep and a few minutes cooking. And its actually kind of healthy!

Homemade Tortillas & Fajitas
So I read online that making tortillas yourself is hella easy... so let's do that.
The ingredients are deceptively simple -- masa de harina (corn flour), water, and salt. Masa itself is corn that has been treated with lime and water (not the fruit, like, chemical lime) then washed (lime is totally not edible) and ground into a flour -- you can't substitute starch or meal for it (look near the tortillas/salsa section for it, or barring that the ethnic foods section).
To actually mix the dough, the flour itself will probably have the ratio you are supposed to use on the bag -- it's going to wind up being like a 2:1 flour/water ratio (again, consult the bag or google it). Also it uses salt, nearly forgot (like a pinch, like all doughs).
