Grow some corn and you can make tortillas. That's progress for sure.

And mine steals my broccoli and tortilla chips...guess that's why we named him Goat 15 years ago (still aggressively thieving).

I think I'll just keep eating corn tortillas, which don't use lard.

I like your suggestion to use butter for wheat tortillas though... I'll have to give that a go.

If you have ever tasted real homemade tortillas you would stock lard.

In a pinch, whole butter can substitute, but you can still taste a slight difference.

There are many misconceptions of Mexican Cuisine. I am probably one of many that apart of this misconception. I have noticed many Indian and Thai restaurants have Mexicans cooking those respective cuisines, not because they are cheap labor but because they are diverse in their respective trades.

"Mexican" food is popular all over but the Taquerias in San Francisco are well known around the US and locally. But, the food served in the Taquerias are actually a San Franciscan cuisine. The San Francisco burrito is just that. It was made here, it is an American food influenced by Mexican cuisine but geared towards us gringos. This is not necessarily true for everything on the menu of course.

Regardless, it is very good. Surprisingly, one of my favorite "Mexican" food spots is in a very industrial area of Oakland in the form of a food truck. You would never know it by the taste of the food. IT IS AMAZINNNNNNN!!! Amazingly tasty fresh salsa. a secret spicy salsa, great beans, great tortilla, tomato friend rice, carne asada to scream for. The best tacos I have ever had in Cali and a burrito that rivals SF's best and they do it everyday, so it is not a fluke and it takes place on a truck.

Recipe #1
Dystopianfuturetoday:
EGGDILLA

-2 Corn Tortillas (get good tortillas from a mexican market)

-1 Egg

-Oil (I used olive oil, but veggie or canola should work fine)

-Pepper Jack Cheese (Use other types of cheese if you like)

-Cajun Seasoning - I used “Slap Ya Mama” seasoning - which is a mix of salt, red pepper, white pepper and garlic. Improvise if you need to.

-Mayo - You can leave this out if you are trying to be healthy

-Gochugang Sauce - This is a mix of pepper paste, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce and honey. Mix to taste, put it in a squeeze bottle in the fridge and it will taste delicious on just about anything. Formal recipe here: http://www.luluz.net/articles/eat/gochujang-sauce-for-bibimbap/

DOn't feel bad if you can't cook, your parents raised you so feel free to blame them for your developmental disabilities, of which there are no-doubt tomes on the subject that remain unwritten (That goes double for you, Miss, low-sugar buttery cinnamon toast woman...I'm kidding, your offering sounds delicious.....you may be one of 2 entries which puts you well ahead of 3282 other Hot-Pocket-eaters around heyah!)

No, you don't see Jesus on your receipt, toast, cheese sandwich, cheetos, or tortilla; you see a face (at best). You can't say it looks like Jesus because nobody really knows what Jesus looked like.

So they should give the game a better review because of the hardships in making it? That's just silly...at the end of the day this is a product and reviews are meant to be a guide to what a consumer may or may not deem worthy of his or her money.>> ^JiggaJonson:

So many reviewers, ZP included, have been too hard on this game. While the game was conceived 12 years ago, it was redone a number of times on different engines. Those engines, starting as early as Quake II and the original Unreal engine, also frequently meant that the game changed hands a number of times.
Considering what the game started as in 1999 and what it turned out to be, I don't think it's fair to put all kinds of blame on the publishers of today and the final product they turned out.
I would say that the game turned out like an episode of "Chopped" where chefs are given a metaphorical ingredient set of "Duck heart, Watermelon, and Tortillas" and are expected to whip a good game out of it in a timely fashion.
Taking that into consideration I think they put out a decent game that I had fun playing. Saying over and over again that the game took twelve years to make doesn't tell the whole story and we should expect better from our game reviewers.

tip :

Put it in a tortilla, thats right ! decompress the fists of calloused rage and plunk them into the salad bowl after you have your Salad tossed by Rottenseed utensils.

Wrap that massive mound of vegetation up.

Is it wrong to think that I'm better than everyone else because I revel in the delectable goodness that is encompassed in the sublime sensation of consuming Kashi during brunch in the sun room? You're just jealous, with your sweat-stained collar and five o'clock shadow at midday while you meander into Taco Bell for the latest in dysentery-inducing bile wrapped in a dampened tortilla. Jealous, I say!

We'll have to have a few words with that cocksucker!....M'meanin' Jesus and that girl a his on all th' tortillas..

Pretty similar to making tortillas. I find making dough to be very zen, good way to zone out and forget myself.
