Or just start with that. Spent some time in Mexico chasing those green fish, during which I fell in love with flour tortillas. They come with everything down there. 

There are a lot of flour tortillas to choose from in the market, but so many of them are too thick and gummy. They can be improved a lot by giving them a little toasting/char though. We use them for fajitas and shrimp tacos. But...I really prefer corn., soft and hard, over flour tortillas for most other things.

Yep and few are good. Ho made are the way to go.

I've done corn tortillas, but not flour. Tortilla press is gathering dust and cob webs in the basement though.

People crack me up.

So, there's a Facebook group about LaTiara shells that I joined just for fun. Folks are posting pics of which Walmart has them. At our local Walmart, they've got empty shelves with a sign that says only two boxes each.

Meanwhile, over at our locally-owned market, they're posting signs saying call the General Mills CEO and request they let the locals carry the shells. Yeah, that's gonna get it done.
