great quesadilla tortillas....

If you're unlucky enough to live somewhere without a good local tortillaria-- like me :-( --I've recently found a flour tortilla that's almost as good as a fresh-off-the-griddle Baja tortilla de harina. Guerrero now sells partly cooked flour tortillas, at least here in northern California-- and they're MUCH better than any of the fully cooked plastic wrapped supermarket flour tortillas we gringos normally have to suffer with. I'd pretty much given up eating flour tortillas unless I had the time to make my own until I found these. They're sold as listas para el comal, fresqui, ricas-- the package says "ready to cook" in the lower left corner.

I can't find a picture online anywhere, otherwise I'd post it. I found discussion board references to them in Texas as well, so I assume they're being widely marketed. They have a purple band at the bottom of the package. They keep very well in the refrigerator.

These tortillas are not ready to eat-- they need to be heated on a dry griddle for 15 seconds to a minute or so per side. That's what makes them so fresh tasting-- you cook them yourself.

Anyway, if you've given up on gringo flour tortillas from the supermarket, try these fresh ones. They're quite good. Now if I could only find real nixtamal masa tortillas de maiz ready-to-cook....
