I lived in Mexico for 4 years. Every afternoon I would go to the tortiarila and buy a half lb of freshly made tortillas. They were delicious. Nothing like the crap I find here in the supermarket. I have 'bout given up on Mexican food because I can't get decent tortillas.
I was told once it was because the corn was different. I'm quite sure it was the same corn that was grown to feed animals. It was most certainly not highly refined corn flour.
I would like to try to make my own. I have found a tortilla press on line that has good reviews. Bob's Red Mill has Masa Harina. I don't think that's what I'm looking for. I want something rustic.
I'd appreciate it if someone here could help me find the texture and full bodied flavor I'm yearning for.
