See what happens when toddlers are pacified with tortillas?

That's about seventy cents. I love them with butter too. Around two pm which is the dinner hour here the ladies and kids line up each with their special tea towel to purchase their tortillas. While waiting in line folks grab a hot one off the scale and enjoy it. I found that my cleaning lady can eat a half of kilo with her lunch. I am only good for two or three and I am amazed at the amount she can eat with a bowl of chile. We pay 7 pesos for a kilo of hot tortillas. That’s about seventy cents. I love them with butter too.

It's been a long time since I lived next to a restaurant that made their own, but I'll admit, my eating out in other towns is governed by whether they have homemade corn tortillas. One of the best foods ever - thanks! I love fresh, hot corn tortillas slathered with butter.
