Yes, the tortilla maker.

Another Partners staff member made this amazing monstrosity. It makes handmade tortillas into gorgeous, round, thin tortillas. And fast.

They were kind to let us take it home with us for a few days, and we sufficiently stocked our freezer tonight. We made 59 tortillas in five flavors: wheat, white, spinach-wheat, tomato basil with spinach, and jalepeno cheddar. All amazing.

I’m admittedly more excited about this than I should be. I have really begun to love cooking, particularly when I can experiment with the local produce and a variety of flavors. I’m hoping to have one made for my kitchen before too long!

    Ok I’m jealous that you have better tortillas in Thialand than I do in Arkansas. Those look so yummy what recipe do use?

      4 c. flour (white, wheat, or mixed)
      1 tsp. salt
      2 tsp. baking powder
      2 Tbsp. butter
      1 1/2 c. water
      If I did the special types (spinach, tomato basil, or jalepeno cheddar), I added the veggies and flavors into the water and just filled the water up to the amount.
      You mix the dry ingredients and add the butter with your hands (so it makes a cornmealy texture). Then add the water and mix. Roll out & pan fry on both sides. Makes about 16.
      Enjoy 🙂
