I made tortillas like 5 times in the last two weeks

>>13882503
>he doesn’t have a tortilla press
El gringo...

>>13882503
I don't even know how to cook

>>13882503
i dont like mexican food

>>13882503
Because I don’t cook Mexican food at home often enough to bother with it.

>>13882503
I usually dont have time, and I would rather pay for the convenience /variety buy them at the market. I like to switch the four type depending on the flavor profile and structural integrity needed for the meal

he doesn't make his own pelote

>>13882571
fuck off asshole

>>13882503
i buy flour wrappers but the corn wrpper need to be made fresh because the store bought ones taste like chemicals

>>13882503
My time is worth more than $1/hr

I'm Mexican-American and my family just buys the packs. Of course, home made is tastier but store bought is just as good.

This thread is like asking why don't you bake your own bread as opposed to buying it.

>>13882503

i don't have time for that shit lol

>>13882804
A lot of people here do bake their own bread... dumb comparison. Though I do agree with you that making tortillas is tedious and dumb

>>13882819
ok
>>13882788
you are shit

>>13882585
>>13882627
You can use them with anything you autists.

>>13882503
I can pay to have other make them for me, since I'm not poor.

>>13882804
Are you Mexican or American? Stop with this bullshit of mi familia. No one with European heritage claims to be xyz-American. We are American

>>13882924
you stink
>>13882911
based

>>13882935
tell that to the white people who think other wise

>>13882503
I have recently started making my own, actually

>>13882935
I was born and raised here so I am an American, I simply mentioned my heritage so you know that I know about tortillas lol.
>>13882948 is spot on though. Sometimes with whites it seems like they only notice my heritage and differences from them. It doesn't matter though, I love this country, it's ideals and the opportunities I've been blessed with here.

>>13882819
It's not that hard to make

Like once a year my dad will make a roast and pull it apart, make his own tortillas and make beef and bean burritos that are hands down the best burritos I've ever had.

>>13882503
One year we had a Mexican student staying with us for a few months and his mom smuggled some food up to Canada with him. Homemade flour tortillas and machaca.Still haven't managed to make tortillas as good as that guy's mom did, and its been 12 years.

>>13884166
id say making tortillas and anything flour related is an artform hands down.
>>13884155
no and it doesnt take that long either

>>13882503
some things you make once in your life in bulk and say "never again"

>>13884222
going to the store for tortillas v making them at home, theres no comparison.
if it were 2019, id just run up to the store and buy some, shits not so simple anymore.

How to make tort tilla ?

>>13885140
Flour, lard (or butter), baking powder, little salt -> pan

>>13882503
how do I make these at home? I don't want to eat 200 empty calories

>>13885289
Serious, it’s that simple?
>might try

>>13882935
Some people’s parents literally moved here from Mexico and they’re the first generation to be born here. I’d qualify that as being Mexican-American

>>13882503
I do but I always make corn because they're easier. Probably start making flour when my masa harina runs out.

>>13882503
I'm not Mexican.

>>13882935
>No one with European heritage claims to be xyz-American. We are American
Except all the retarded Italian, Irish- etc. Americans that use every opportunity to talk about their european heritage because someone 4 generations ago lived in naples or some shit

>>13882924
option 1: buy ingredients and spend god knows how long making mediocre tortillas
option 2: spend like 80 cents for a ten pack of well made tortillas
option 3: unfreeze the homemade tortillas my Mexican friends make me

>>13885417
>born in america, live whole life in america
>identify as mexican-american

The only thing I miss about my Hispanic ex was her homemade tortillas.

I never got my Flatev so I can't.

>>13886137
>lives in a bubble of Mexican culture
>is expected to identify with a nation of Italian, Irish and German immigrants

>>13882571
Fucking THIS

>>13882713
Where did you steal it from, jew?

>>13882503
I can just pay poor people to make it for me

>>13886256
Nothing better than eating gyros and chasing polish qts. God, I love it here

>>13886256
>leaves shit tier mexico to escape trash life
>pretends new country is still mexico

>can pay like $3 for enough corn tortillas to last me for months
Why even bother?
