My first ever attempt at flour tortillas...

Looked at 4 recipes online (some of the usual suspects, some not, none from here (sad face)), made dough in a food processor. The dough had a bit of baking powder in it, and home melted pork fat from the other day. My rolling skills have deteriorated significantly since cooking school!

But still! (Yes, that is a torn one atop - cook's gotta taste). While light years beyond any prepackaged shit, these were not what anyone would call perfect. Though Significant Eater audibly mmmmmm-ed after loading her first one with carne adovada, @rancho_gordo freshly stewed pinto beans, avocado, yada, yada, yada. All those years in Albuquerque evidently did something to her! I call in the Breaking Bad syndrome.

 

In any event, these were, how shall I put it, more chewy than I was expecting. Possibly the baking soda, possibly too much lard? Rosie walking around under my feet while trying to roll these out, and enjoying my cursing?

 

It's time to hit the books and continue trying...these are fun.
