Flour Tortillas


Tortillas de Harina are a Baja California specialty. In the past, they were preferred by most in the region over the ones made with corn, customary in the south and center of México. The original recipe contains lard and salt which makes them addictive and delicious. Making flour tortillas is harder. Still, some Mexican women in the region continue to excel at this art.
For example, my Mom's neighbor Dr. R, who is a trained medical doctor and expert flour tortilla maker. She supplements her income by selling them, but generously brings some over to my Mom whenever she makes a batch. Giving a whole new meaning to the phrase..."Love thy neighbor." #morningdeliciousness #theyarestillwarm #whathaveidonetodeservethis
