Make Your Own Tortillas!
Rejoice! For I told you I would try, and I did. I have crafted tortillas successfully using a trial and error method, about 2 bags of flour, and at least one large burnable garbage bag. 
The experimentation process yielded these results. They are a combination of the wonderful recipe found here and the instructional video I found here. Only, I leave out the baking powder. I did it by accident the first time, but I liked the results so much I kept it that way. Here’s a breakdown of the info in the video.
Hardware: a frying pan (32 cm works well), a mixing bowl, a “rolling pin” of some kind (hardware store pins work too), a spatula (or chopsticks)
Software: Flour – 2 cups, Salt – 1 tsp, Vegetable Oil – 2 tsp, Milk – warm ~(≦)3/4 cup
Makes: 6~8 really small tortillas OR 5 Deas tortillas
But why just read the recipe, when you can see me act a fool make the tortillas in the epic 18 minute 39 second video above? No…really…why? I’m sorry at how long the video turned out – I did it impromptu…I guess it shows. Maybe I can hack together a shorter version when I get some time on my hands. Anyway… Try it! Tell me how yours come out. And tell me if anyone knows how to make my own taco seasoning…that’s the only bit left to tackle in this Tex-Mex self-sufficiency plan.
* – Usually I use cheese and lettuce in my tacos…but I had to work with shredded cabbage in lieu of lettuce this weekend… And there was no cheese to be found… Sad. Also, I don’t usually look like a hobo. Well, at least, not all the time.
