Good tortillas?

[Anonymous]

Once or twice a year I bring back some from HEB and freeze.

Can you freeze them?

Where are these located? Refrigerated or frozen? I've never noticed them.

I can tolerate the TJ home style flour if they are heated on a hot skillet.
I try to buy lots when I go out west and then feeeze them.
Costco used to see dough disks that you could fry at home that weren’t bad.
I’ll have to try the ones at mom’s.

I was wondering if any of the Latino markets in Wheaton make them fresh. There just aren’t tortillerias out here like we have in the southwest, where they make them fresh daily. It might be the number one thing I hate about living out here. Number 2 is the humidity. Number 3 is the mosquitos.

Shoot, when I lived in New Mexico you could buy good tortillas at gas stations. I haven’t found anything good around here. Heating on a hot skillet helps.

If you like Salvadoran thick tortillas, all the local Latin markets have them. Look for the brands based in MD.
