I think I missed the tortilla discussion, but rather than buy fresh, I buy
packaged tortillas from the dairy case (fat free) and use them as I need
them. They have both corn and flour tortillas available. This didn't used
to be the case (in western NC), but we have a larger Hispanic community and
with that, more access to wonderful ethnic food.
