  The other day I made us some tasty Mexican Scrambled Eggs for our lunch/supper.  We both enjoy Tex Mex flavours, and do enjoy a meal such as this every now and then. Quick each and incredibly delicious as well as being quite colourful!    I decided to make my own tortillas for this.  I have a recipe of my own that I have been making for many years now. I started doing this back in the 1980's when mexican ingredients were not all that readily available.  You can get that recipe here .   My family loved my enchiladas and I started making my own tortillas so that I could make them enchiladas from my leftover turkey and other roasts.
