one more comment…do you make tamales. Many people think that they are hard and not easy for one person. I make them every year and they are delish. I stick them in the freezer and take them out when we feel the need for them and they make wonderful snacks. I love them with coffee for breakfast…I make pork, beef, bean and pumpkin. I just bought 4 pork butts that were on sale for 88 cents per pound because it’s almost time for tamales. I am a lover of beans so the bean tamales are just as good to me as the pork which is my favorite…

Corn tortillas are just as easily made as flour tortillas. I just love to make tortillas. I have said many times that I am a better Mexican cook than most Mexican women. There is just no comparison between the taste of homemade tortillas and store bought.

I believe someone told me they used butter, though I haven’t tried it!

Can I use unsalted butter instead of shortening or lard?

Mmmm…my grandparents are from Mexico, and I finally wrestled my grandmother’s tortilla recipe from her two years ago. Her’s are fabulous. However, I was unable to duplicate her final product. I try many of your recipes, so I thought I would give your tortilla recipe a go. Perfect! They are easy to shape, keep well, re-heat great, and are just as good as my grandmother’s (don’t tell her)! I bet I have made them nearly a dozen times since you posted. Well done!
