![]() Growing up all sweets were homemade completely from scratch. ![]() My sister in law made flour tortillas every day from scratch for breakfast. ![]() I was a little kid and would stand by the stove like a dog as she tossed them at me. ![]() So I guess you can say I'm spoiled with flour tortillas I will eat them but they have to be fresh. I am looking forward to the instructions I just cant seem to get it right. Thanks the beans came out good. I would like to add one of the guys and also my friend where I used to work is from Sonora. He works in the kitchen and a real class act one of the nicest guys I have ever met. We always had some kind of (side deal) going. Worth Last edited by Worth1; October 21, 2015 at 01:17 PM. |

Gerardo, I toast a flour tortilla on the stove burner and then butter it, sprinkle salt, fold and devour...
I make burritos from canned refried beans, flour tortilla, tomatoes, cheese, whatever I have on hand. Not authentic, not the best, but good !

And I used to be in...Corona <surprise!> My aunt and uncle lived in Chula Vista some years ago and I used to drive through San Marcos on the 78 on my way to my dad's. He was closer to Oceanside. Nice areas when it is not burning. Gosh, they had some doozies in the Fallbrook area.

Small world ! I was just on Twin Oaks the other day. Barb, maybe he lived in Vista?
About that I "devour" my buttered tortilla snacks... that didn't sound terribly ladylike, did it? Must have been a typo because I meant that I NIBBLE at them... ![]() ![]()

![]() Basically stereotyping the people around the world and the US. In reality some very big companies do this. This ranges from Texas BBQ flavor, Cajun with red pepper and so on. Look at the Hawaiian style stuff it is as though all they eat is Pineapple. A Polynesian guy asked me what Purina Hawaiian Chow would be and I told him pineapple and spam flavor. ![]() He thought it was pretty funny. This is why in this thread I have tried to put a few things in it that aren't stereotypical of our region. If you go into a Mexican meat market here you will find stacks of chicken feet. You will not find chicken feet in a Tex Mex restaurant. Most if not all of the German restaurants here serve what is expected of them. I asked a woman at one why they didn't serve something anymore and she said she loved it but people wouldn't eat it. Basically the only people that ate it was the German folks that ran the place and me so they had to stop buying it. It was a Braunschweiger sandwich. ![]() Worth |

Worth, I'm pretty sure I meant nibbling. In fact, DAINTILY NIBBLING.

We ate Braunschweiger sandwiches a lot when I was a kid. I thought they were pretty tasty.

My sister in the back seat of the car on the way home from church said, "I cant wait to get home and dig in." At 50 miles an hour my father drove the car and beat the tar out of her at the same time. ![]() He told her, "You dont dig in, you eat like a civilized human being." She was always getting in trouble at the table for gulping, slurping, belching spilling tea, eating with her hands, making scraping noises with the silverware on the plate or saying something stupid. I loved it. ![]() Quote:
Bring back some memories. Have a jalapeno salsa and chips on the side and call it Deutsch-Mex. ![]() My mother and I were the only ones to eat it at home. Worth |

ok i live in montreal, i'm lebanese and I love tex-mex or whatever it's called. I love cooking and want that recipe for flour tortillas. I've never tried to make them. Growing up, my mother and grandmother made arabic bread,what everyone calls pita,but our were thicker with a pocket that would open up when baked in a hot gas oven or wood burning oven. We'd slather it with butter, it was so delicious.
So Mexican, Tex Mex, whatever, share those recipes. Mind you I'm currently in Italy where I have had some amazing pizza and pasta dishes to faint for. Eggplant parmesan, meatballs, how can you go wrong? |
