I Love Tacos

@4meAndyou I need to find a good way to make tortillas without the lard. I hate the tasteless store stuff and i've been told the traditionaal are MUCH better.

@HorrorshowHijabi They really are better. You don't really need to buy a press, either, if you've got the knack for pressing the dough out quickly into a disc.

Try crisco. The best pie crusts made by my grandmother were all made with lard, but crisco is vegetable oil, and they say a pie crust made with cisco is almost as good.

@4meAndyou Yeah, I use crisco for pies and flaky dough. I'll have to try it for tortilla now.

@HorrorshowHijabi Use masa harina instead of white flour, and fry them dry about 5 to 10 seconds a side and flip them with a pair of tongs.

@4meAndyou corn is always sooooo much better. my family is a flour tortilla family but it has no taste!

@HorrorshowHijabi Corn every time. The fine ground is similar to a flour tortilla but has more flavor. If you really want to rock it, and you have a charcoal grill, soak some mesquite wood in water overnight, add a little hint of fine ground rock salt to the tortilla, put a cast iron griddle on the grill, and cook the tortillas on the griddle 10 seconds a side with a few seconds of smoke and a closed lid.

@4meAndyou I so wish I had a grill but no way to use it in the dorm.

@HorrorshowHijabi Ahh. I live in a small apartment now. Just tonight I was looking at the Ninja Foodie. It's an indoor grill, and if you have room for only ONE appliance, this one is it.

@4meAndyou Mine's my pressure cooker but i thiiiink the foodie does that too?

@HorrorshowHijabi It does 4 to 5 different things depending on the model...pressure cooker, roaster, steamer, air fryer and grill.

@4meAndyou Temptiiiiiiiiiiiing. I'll have to see about it next semester.

@HorrorshowHijabi 4 functions $179.99 walmart.com. Cheap enough!
