No worries :) I just did another thread in recipe requests too.

I made these tonight.  Spicy beef burritos - yummo!

Sometimes for a quick and easy lunch I make these and spread them with homemade nutella and sliced banana.  The kids love them!!!  :)

I've mae these a few times and they tasted great but I must be doing something wrong as they kept going crunchy which meant they couldn't be rolled. I was putting them straight in a zip lock bag to keep in the moisture but that didn't seem to work. Any ides - could it be I'm overcooking them? The kids also complained there was too much flour on them.

How much wholemeal flour are you putting in them?  The more wholemeal, the crunchier they'll be.  Try all white and see how that goes.  Also, make sure your dough is not too dry.  And when you roll them out, just sprinkle the board/mat lightly with flour, adding light sprinkles as you need it while rolling out.  Do you have a Thermomat? or Silpat?  They work best for rolling out, as the dough doesn't stick to them as much.  And when you pick them up to put in the pan, dust them off a bit to get off the excess flour.

Hope it works better next time.  :)
