All the tortillas are the same.

[Big McLargehuge]

Next time you are at the supermarket look at all the corn tortillas. Regardless of brand they are all made by Gruma Corp. (Mission Foods). On top of that they are all made in Irvington, TX and use the exact same ingredients and have the same nutrition facts :eek

[kahljorn]

;o everything in the world in the united states is made around there. Try looking at a side of chips or some cereals as well

I've tried making my own before they're kinda good. Just get some maha harina flour or whatever mexican corn flour stuff and add water, and some lard if you want, then cook them up in a griddle or something.

Tortillas or pancakes?

[b_squared]

In the valley in Los Angeles we have a tortilla factory Gracianas. Not made by mission foods. I think there is also Guerrero's which are made locally in LA.

[kahljorn]

It makes tortillas. I think that's the recipe on the back of the bag but I can't remember.
I'm pretty sure pancakes need eggs and baking soda to make it all fluffy :(

[Dimnos]

I thought they were slow baked in an oven? But hey what do I know about tortillas, Im not Mexican.

[MetalMilitia]

I'm pretty sure Geggy already made this thread -

Turns out the Jews did it.

[Tadao]

Guerrero's which are made locally in LA.

Guerrero's corn tortillas are tasty.

[Kitsa]

if the jews did it, there'd be no chametz :(

[kahljorn]

baking them in an oven is pretty much the same as cooking them on a griddle except griddling is faster.

Guerrero's corn tortillas are tasty.
The Guerrero's at my local supermarket are the same as all the others. I usually never buy supermarket tortillas because i have dozens of tortillarias and mexican markets within a bike ride of my house. My favorite taqueria makes the tortillas as they make the food. :yum

[Tadao]

Yeah, my old GF used to make them too. Fresh is always best when it comes to tortillas.

[darkvare]

we buy them at shops where the only thing they do is make tortillas and they always have lines of up to 15 people

[Dimnos]

Does your mom do homemade tamales?

[Pub Lover]

His mom is a homemade tamale. :eek

[Dimnos]

Homemade tamales are fucking good. He would be the luckiest SOB around if she does.

[Tadao]

I love Christmas because of tamales.

[darkvare]

Does your mom do homemade tamales?
my mom, grandmother and aunts make tamales i guess my grandmother taught them my mom even made tamales for our friends when we were at canada

[Dimnos]

You lucky bastard. I want some tamales!!

[Colonel Flagg]

Heavens to Betsy, Burry's is good
Best darn bakin' in the neighborhood
Slow bakin' is why they're good
(For freshness and taste
You mustn't bake in haste.)
Nobody hurries the bakers at Burry's
Get Slooooow! Bake Burry's!

[Kitsa]

I'm gonna have to get my courage up and go to that secret taqueria behind the mexican grocery store :/

[Tadao]

The dirtier the kitchen the better the food.

[Dimnos]

Its where the flavor comes from. ;)

[Big McLargehuge]

My favorite taqueria has 99 cent tacos 5-7 on week days so i go and get two birria tacos, two de cabeza, and one de lengua.

[Kitsa]

holy shit, I'm not that brave.

[kahljorn]

tamales are kinda easy to make too if you already know how to make shredded meat ;o

[Geggy]

i love to do experiments with tortillas. you can pretty much wrap any combination of food with it. two of my favorites are cheeseburger wraps (2 beef patties, pepper and onion stir fry, two slices of cheese, add hot sauce), and chicken zucchini wraps with little bit of ranch dressing. mmmmph!

[kahljorn]

ugh one time somebody made me a tortilla hamburger and it was disgusting. She probably thought that it would be "healthier" with a tortilla or something, but she added egg into the meat and it was all huge and wet and disgusting :(
traditional russian hamburg :(

She was so obsessed with being healthy that she made enchiladas with nothing but squash in them ;\ and she even looked like she was made of squash.

[Big McLargehuge]

masa shouldn't be abused. the best thing in the world for tamales is mole.

[darkvare]

making shreded meat is very easy but it can take a lot of time considering you have to shred it by hand

[executioneer]

what do you guys think of pupusas

[darkvare]

we call them gorditas and i eat them every saturday

[Tadao]

Gorditas are real and not something Taco Bell made up? I'm kinda shocked about that.

[Big McLargehuge]

around here you can get quesadillas that are made with gorditas and called carmelos.

[darkvare]

there's a restaurant outside my school called the carmelos i dunno if they cook what you say but they cook tortas mmmmm tortas

[Big McLargehuge]

i like my tortas al pastor with the really thin kind of guac.

[executioneer]

pupusas adn gorditas arent the same thing >: pupusas are cooked w/ filling in them already

[darkvare]

thosse are called gorditas de horno here

[executioneer]

o fine but i still think the salvadorenos would argue w/ you

[Big McLargehuge]

In some parts of mexico a torta is a sammich and in others it is a cake. Regional variations. I had the other day something called a "flat enchilada" that was really a pupusa filled with cheese, green chile, and corn.

[kahljorn]

i love pupusas when they have that herb leaf thing inside of it :(

[Kitsa]

I cringe at the Mexican restaurant when my dad orders "polo sah-nol-a" instead of pollo sinaloa.

The weird thing is that he speaks French just fine, and it's not that different from Spanish.
