Tortillas

One thing you really have to get used to down here is eating tortillas. They are served with every meal and sometimes become more of a utensil than simply a type of bread to eat. Usually they are corn tortillas, different than the small corn tortillas found in the states, but not flour tortillas. However, about a week ago my friend Ruth taught me how to make flour tortillas. We ate fresh flour tortillas for dinner. I have never eaten so many tortillas in one sitting as that night. We probably each ate five or six. You can't beat fresh flour tortillas after weeks of day-old corn tortillas, in my mind.
