i just bit the bullet and ordered a 4 pack of Bob's on amazon, will arrive Sat, free shipping :D it may be a lifetime supply or the gateway into corn tortilla addiction.

OMG! Sunday I was at the big box super market and guess what? they had the Bobs Red Mill Masa Harina. I was like WTF? I spent ten minutes looking thru all the BRM products and reading all the tags. Did they just start carrying it after i bought a case on Amazon? LOL

SO many stores here and not just fancy places have tons of Bob's Red Mill products.
ShopRite, Waldbaums, Stop and Shop for sure, plus the little IGA in my little one horse town.

here too, just not the Masa Harina, until this week when they decided to carry that particular one!!!! Our Giant (owned by stop and shop) has a whole section of BRM products as does our local natural food store.

You could also make puffy tacos. A San Antonio staple.

You press the masa in the tortilla press. Then fry the dough. When puffs up in the hot oil, you fold the dough (while in the oil) with two spatulas to form a taco. When it's golden, you drain on paper towels and fill with whatever you want. Traditionally, it's seasoned chicken or beed picadillo with lettuce, tomato, cheese and guacamole.

Best served hot.

ah, thank you, we had a tostada meal after a failed attempt at making tacos... I was under the mistaken impression they would be pliable enough to fold immediately after being removed from the oil
