I got to pimp this product. These thing are so much better than store bought tortilla's. Super easy only take about a minute to cook.

Intriguing. Would be about the same time I use to warm them now, but fresh.

its well worth it for those don't have access to fiesta's fresh made tortilla's. Those are pretty good but I am just working off memory. A side by side tasting would be interesting.

The "raw" ones are worlds better than the Micasa or other packaged tortillas.

i dont use tortilla land i dont think... At least the package isnt yellow but green. Been doing raw for years, you wont go back. heat a non stick toss one ins flip in 10 secsons flip again maybe once more and done. flip a bumnch at the high heat and you wont burn spots.

these are the ones you find at walmart, the trick is figuring out where they are.

We've been using the Tortillaland and the ones CarRamrod posted for the last year or so. They truly are so much better than regular ones.

For those looking for them in: Walmart sometimes has both brands, usually found next to the Mexican cheeses. (This is usually located near the sliced packaged cheese, but the Walmart Neighborhood Market on Highland had them next to the canned biscuits last time I found them there.) The ones in the green package come in small taco size ones as well as burrito size, but I've only found the burrito-size in Tortillaland brand.

The Tortillaland ones at Costco are usually near the sausage/bacon/packaged deli meat refrigerated section--close to the freezer section (at least at the Costco in Baton Rouge). They come in a larger pack, but it's actually 2 sealed packs together so they stay fresh longer.

How much do they typically cost at Walmart or Costco? I clicked the Amazon link in OP's post and it is showing $25.00 (including shipping) for a 12 pack of flour tortillas.

Mucho Dinero señor!

I think I could probably pick up a lady in the Home Depot parking lot to roll them out cheaper.

I recently got a pack of 18 burrito-size Tortillaland ones at Walmart for about $3, maybe less. Costco packs are 40-50 tortillas for around $6.

They're refrigerated so that Amazon price probably includes dry ice/packing in the "included" shipping cost.

they are much cheaper in the store. I bet it's expensive on amazon due to shipping

Walmart in Gonzales usually carries the Tortilla Land and the ones in the green packaging.

Yes, they are far superior to all the other store bought tortillas.

I like to use a little butter when I cook them.

I recently went to Mexico and learned how to make real corn tortillas which were incredible. When I got back I researched and found you can make them with Masa flour and water.

I takes no more than 5 minutes to make them into a ball. All you need to do is press out and cook. Way better than store bought.

I also learned flour tortillas are more or less and american invention.

I make my own Flour ones. Just flour, water and any kind of fat (oil, shortening, bacon grease, butter, margarine). And roll out with a rolling pin.

The fat is really just so they stay soft and flexible.

I always forget the Masa when I buy groceries so I make the flour ones

As someone who lives in South Texas I might have to disagree

Definitely better than the Mission garbage though
