We keep a couple dollars on hand so we won't be flat broke when we happen to hit the US but down here, it's pesos all the way.<br /><br />Mom,<br /><br />Thanks for the recipe but I guess my post wasn't clear. It's not that we can't get really good flour tortillas down here. I just bought a dozen 10" flour tortillas, fresh-baked at the Santa Fe market for the US equivalent of 69¢. It's just that the little taco stands don't generally offer them. Once in awhile one will, but generally not. At restaurants, however, you always get your choice of maíz (corn) or harina (flour) tortillas.<br /><br />-SteveSteve and Luluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17762481109499699377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4333964393145327986.post-42149746336849012022012-02-05T14:33:29.533-08:002012-02-05T14:33:29.533-08:00Steve, you will hve to make your own flour totilla...Steve, you will hve to make your own flour totillas. Really easy. The portions are as follows: 4 cuups flour, 2 tsp salt, 6 tblespoons shortening or oil and 1 to 1/1/2 cup lukewarm water.Mix all ingredients together to form a ball. Divide into 12 balls. Roll out flat and put in a frying pan. cook until brown on both sides. Wrap in towel until cool. Put in airtight container like a ziploc bag. (Cut in shortening before adding liquid) Love, MomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4333964393145327986.post-38538231716401051072012-02-05T13:54:00.749-08:002012-02-05T13:54:00.749-08:00Steve do you pay in dollars or change to pesos all...Steve do you pay in dollars or change to pesos all the time?

No, these were the standard 6" soft corn tortillas. They just have no hold-together strength. There was a line of meat to which I added a little salsa mexicana (like pico de gallo) and a sprinkle of cilantro. I was even careful to drain most of the liquid off the salsa. And still, about halfway through, the bottom of my taco just split open and the contents fell on my plate. Next one, I supported with my and in the middle and, about halfway through, it split open anyway and deposited the goodies in my hand. Sheesh!<br /><br />You will absolutely love the fresh produce stands down here. You mostly don't know what anything costs because things are seldom marked. When you're done and they tally it up, it ends up not mattering that things aren't marked because the produce is all so cheap.<br /><br />-SteveSteve and Luluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17762481109499699377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4333964393145327986.post-14003074608514579552012-02-04T20:36:04.268-08:002012-02-04T20:36:04.268-08:00haha..I never did understand hard tacos either. I...haha..I never did understand hard tacos either. I like to think of them more as nacho chips with toppings. I've heard the bread and butter phrase before from a Wastewater guy..made me laugh. <br /><br />That light house is quite fantastic. Old light! For dinner tonight I made a tomato, cucumber and mozzarella cheese salad. I could see myself buying fresh veggies at the local market and making it on our boat. $9 bucks for all of that! Seems like you could stay indefinitely in Mexico. <br /><br />Such a happy looking family:) Full of pride in their work. I love it. <br />DaniDanihttp://www.sundownersailsagain.comnoreply@blogger.com
