Tortilla Recipe From Hell

Tortillas in an authentic Mexican restaurant are really yummy. I used to live in Houston, TX where there is an over abundance of fresh tortillas. Sadly, in northern california the opposite is true. While we have many very good places to get burritos high quality authentic Mexican restaurants are in less supply. So when Husband and I saw a recipe for home made tortillas entitled "Making flour tortillas is easier than you think" (Fine Cooking, June/July 2006 p. 73) we just had to try them.

Now I admit, despite claims to the contrary, the recipe didn't look simple. but I have made bread, rolls and other backed products so "how hard could it be"? Besides step-by-step instructions were provided. And we didn't expect perfectly shaped tortillas. As you can probably guess the process was frustrating and the result was neither pretty to the eye nor pleasing to the stomach. In essence the tortillas were very thing and crunchy with little flavor. And to top it off they whole process made a huge mess of the kitchen (although that could be the Husband factor).

So I'm still craving those authentic fresh baked tortillas but I'm now thinking it might just be easier to take a trip to Houston and visit one of my old favorite restaurants...
