In the past, I never sought out corn tortillas. Then last spring I spent a week in Mexico and experienced something totally new: soft, pliable tortillas that tasted like fresh corn. But here in the States, dry, store bought corn tortillas fall far short of the authentic version. Fortunately, corn tortillas from scratch are quick and easy, and they’re on par with the bona fide tortillas that can be found at a good taco street stand in Mexico. Now, I’ll happily skip the flour variant for these corn based taco vessels.
