Tortillas
Years ago you could only find this Mexican flat bread in
Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California and Colorado.....
Over the past 20 years ago these pieces of bread have
become available in many supermarkets.....First you
found 6 inch and 10 inch flour tortillas and also 6 inch
corn tortillas.....
Well like any other food product the tortilla has become
Americanized......The 6 inch size has now become the
"restaurant" or "fajita" size.....The 10 inch the "burrito"
size......American taste has not accepted the 6 inch corn
product and now they are packaged for Mexican households
only......
The 10 inch flour tortilla is now made in various "flavors"
and are sold as "roll-ups".....And, today, you can not tell
the difference between an Indian chapati and a tortilla.....
What is the future for this new American bread?....Pumps
