Tortillas

[CZPistol]

I saw someone mention Mission tortillas in the dinner thread, so I thought I'd share some info about my favorite tortillas. I am sure this might be old news for a lot of you, and some of you are sure to boast about making your own from scratch, but for us transplants, it ain't so obvious/easy. A few years back I switched from buying pre-cooked tortillas to Guerrero raw tortillas. Using a black-iron skillet on the stove-top, low-medium to medium heat, just heat the tortillas, flipping back and forth, just until they start to lightly "toast." IMO, 10x better than any pre-cooked brand. If you haven't tried them, give it a shot...you'll like.

I think they need to be refrigerated so check near the biscuits

Mission tortillas...

...are disgusting. I've never had a factory made tortilla I liked. The ones they make fresh at HEB are amazing, tho. I miss them.

Where are these mystical objects sold?

Apparently Amazon... I wonder how they are packaged to preserve freshness considering they are raw.

Guerrero tortillas rock!

Kroger also has em. Honestly though just buy the freshly made ones at HEB/Kroger. I heat them up by throwing them on the burners of the gas stove top until small "puffs" form in the tortilla. Takes 30 seconds

HEB, Kroger, Randall's, etc. Not in the fridge section....they're usually in the same area as the pre-cooked tortillas. I do put them in the fridge after opening the pack, though.

+1 for the fresh made tortillas at HEB.

Rosa's. I don't actually get food there, but drive through tortillas are great and they are actually pretty darn good tortillas. The ones we keep on frig from Mexican market we throw in iron skillet are the best ones other than that.

Sent from some where out there.
