[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I was in college, I was friends with a guy who had a Mexican grandmother. She had taught him how to make tortillas. We made him show Us how. We had no rolling pin, so we rolled them out with cans of soda. You can make your own tortillas too.[/quote]

I’ve done it and they are tasty but I can never get them large and thin and stretchy enough for burritos.  I think they must use a special grade of flour or something to adjust the gluten to get them so thin and stretchy — maybe pizza 00 flour would work?
Growing up we used to make the small tortillas in school for an end of semester treat but we used a tortilla press — I think that’s way easier than rolling them.  I think you could also use a cast iron pan because the tortilla press was basically like two heavy cast iron plates that you smooshed together with a lever.  
Not owning my own tortilla press is one of the many ways that my adult life deviates from the life I had anticipated for myself.  [/quote]
