Fry  a tortilla in oil till its crispy.  



put a little bit of refried beans on it



and then some mexican cheese



heat in the microwave for 40 seconds.  



Put guacamole and/or salsa on top.



(guacamole--avaocados, tomatoes, onions, garlic and salt)

Cast iron skillets after a rolling pin is taken to it works better than normal domestic cook wear.



There are actual tortilla presses too. I've never seen anyone myself actually use one bit they're cheap and are meant to deliver a uniform tortilla to grill.

I've been in the presence of older Mexican tortilla makers before. Quite impressive how much of a skill it is. One lady was 80 something and completely blind. She did it purely by touch and smell, and swatted one of her grand kids with a spatula when they tried to sneak a warm tortilla out of the tupperware container. She heard EVERYTHING.  ac_biggrin

I like soft tacos over hard tortillas.

No I only fry tortillas, never made them myself.



I don't even know what that recipe (above) is called.  I got it in a restaurant one time and it was easy to recreate.

Perhaps it's an East Asian thing, but  Mexican cuisine is definitely not one of my favourites.

Mexican food can be a lot different than the tex mex versions sold in restaurants and shops.

The more Mexican it tastes, the less I like it.

That's what I'm getting at.



Mexican food ranges in type and flavours.



Most of us just eat the Texas version of Mexican food which can be pretty limited in variation and flavours.

I have been to Mexico many times. Some things I really like, some are okay and others I would not feed to a stray starving dog.
