Do i need to make it sit in 2 hours?

What is the significance of fridging it for two hours? The ingredients look like any crepe-type recipe. My husband is from Sweden and we make pancakes often and never fridge them before cooking. What does it do to the texture and outcome?

The reason for allowing a crepe mixture rest before cooking is to allow any air within the mixture to find it's way up and out. You don't want bubbles in a crepe.

Pancakes are different tho. Air bubbles mean fluffiness in that case tho.

A note about mixing this. If you want your crepe's/pancakes (which is what these are more than tortillas) light, as most crepe's are, do not mix this for 5 minutes. Add your dry ingredients, mix them together, then add your wet, and mix just until combined. Step away. It is okay if there are lumps! They will cook out, and you will end up with a much better crepe.

Over mixing creates gluten, which causes chewiness (think sourdough. LOTS of gluten)

This recipe sounds great sansoy. Can't wait to try it. :)

Also, refrigerating the mixture allows the glutes to settle. This makes for smoother, more evenly brown crepes.

I have no idea. again i found a similar version of the "chocolate" tortilla on the web. The original version called for just egg whites and skim milk. Maybe we should ask Instructables to sponsor a Chocolate Tortilla Contest!
