So there was this recipe in the Toronto Star last week - dinner for three for $1.75. Basically cooked and fried beans with onion etc.
Couldn't resist it, so I made four jars of the stuff.
Then realised I had no tortillas. Bought a packet at Dominion across the street, opened the packet and found they were all stuck together. Took 'em back and the clerk said "Oh, they've been frozen", which I hadn't done but he made it sound like my fault.
I grabbed a different species and ate two tortillas for supper.
I'm not buying Tortillas at Dominion again. Ever.
Which Lounger has the best (i.e. simplest) recipe for tortillas?
I already have a frying pan about 12 to 15 inches diameter ...

Re: Tortillas
I get them fresh off the tortilla machine at my neighborhood supermarket, HEB. I can get corn, flour, or whole wheat flour.
Do you have access to masa?

I live in Toronto, which is going to be a world-class city once they pick up all the orange cones and finish the work of laying roads and footpaths. :bitter:
Masa will be available somewhere downtown.
What is it? Flour? Fluid? Fat? Thickener?
(later) Got it at Wikepedia
And what is a HEB when it's home?

Right!
Sure!
I already don't want to walk across the street to buy Tortillas but I'd consider walking to Texas to buy them fresh and find them stale by the time I'd walked back here (grin!)

Re: Tortillas
Here is a DIY on making Tortillas from high grade chicken feed....very cheap, but apparently very good!

P.S. I know, I know, since I regularly speak of going across the road to buy something at Dominion you wanted a segue into a joke about "crossing a rode with a chicken".

Re: Tortillas
I'm not running a poll on anything...
I have heard that you can put chicken into the tortilla and that way you don't taste the chicken feed; so it's not really that appalling.

It starts that way...but ends the other way; for Chris at least.
