Thanks for the inspiration. I've been griping about the same thing for quite some time now but never thought to make my own. I live in the Southwest and you'd think there would be some decent tortillas available but not so much. There are one or two places but, as you point out, you have to buy a dozen. They are fresh, but expensive and because there are no preservatives they age like bread so many of them go to the birds because a dozen is just too many. I will be getting a tortilla press soon!

I have considered making them but never have. I bought some at Costco that are supposed to be fresh. I think they are partially cooked. They were really good, but there are way too many in a package. I know the ones from the store are so full of junk and preservatives. I found a package in my closet that expired 2 months ago. I store them on the shelf where they are under my bread, it is high enough up that I can't see them. They still seemed fresh enough to eat and no mold. I wonder how much preservatives are in them?????

dont eat enough of them to go thru the trouble making them.....but for those who do, sounds like a winner.

....and I was curious about a tortilla press so went to Amazon to read reviews on some......most were not favorable it seemed, on the less expensive ones, anyway.
I will continue to buy store-bought, for the few times I do tortilla based meals.

....too late to edit my previous pist...so to continue my curiosity about tortilla presses I went to YouTube. They really are not difficult to make..I was fascinated....hmmm, may change my mind....summer will be here someday...now in the midst of heavy snow....and with garden veggies- taco salads, tacos,etc....might give it a whirl.......obtw-I looked at the local Walmart and they carry their generic tortilla flour....anyone try it?

Thank you for the recipes. I cook for a young family once a week and the father really likes to have organic and non
GMO so I haven't used any corn tortillas. Now they can have some. Plus, I can make some gluten free ones for me because the ones that are available aren't very good.

Organic and non-GMO is easy...just look for organic wheat flour. The gluten-free would have to be another kind of flour...rice, or oat maybe? You would probably have to make some adjustments to the recipe for those, but that's totally doable.

Hummm...sure, why not? The tomato juice does have some natural sugars in it, so you might turn down the heat a little when you are cooking them so that they don't burn. You could also add chili powder, turmeric, mushroom powder, various herbs and spices for different colors and flavors. You may need to adjust the amount of water if you add any of these.
