"D J" > wrote in message ... > they were made by my grandfather . who came from mexico , thank you to > anyone that can help.. > Do you have access to white corn tortillas at your local stores? Other ingredients might include coriander (cilantro), serrano and/or jalapeno chiles. All other ingredients are as common as salt/pepper. My favorite taco is thin flank steak grilled to a nice dark brown, cut into thin slices, ladled into a white corn tortilla that has been reheated over the coals, then a slice of avocado, a couple of spoonfuls of salsa made from tomato, salt, cilarntro, chiles and onions. Roll the tortilla over all the stuffing, lean forward, close the back end of the taco between fingers to keep stuff inside just as you would a Coney Island dog. Take a bite and enjoy! These tacos are called Tacos de Carne Asada. |

I think that what you are looking for are "Flautas" (flutes), they are
quite simple, here is a recipe I've found: http://www.cooksrecipes.com/gmeat/flautas-recipe.html 1 cup corn oil 24 corn tortillas 1 1/2 to 2 cups filling of your choice (shredded beef, ground beef, chicken, beans or cheese) Good luck 1. In a skillet or pan, heat the oil to hot. With tongs, dip the tortillas in the oil on both sides to moisten them, no more than a second or 2, and stack them. 2. Place about 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center of a tortilla and spread it out lengthwise. Roll the tortilla tightly, and repeat the process until all are filled and rolled. 3. Reserve just enough oil in the skillet to keep its bottom moist. Add a few flautas at a time, keeping the tortillas seam side down. Cook them 5 to 10 seconds, then gently roll them in the skillet until they are golden brown on all sides. Serves 6 (4 flautas per person). Can serve with hot sauce, guacamole, chile con queso, sour cream and/or a salsa of your choosing. Makes 24 servings.

Hi DJ.. I post on another cooking ng but I lurk here and there... I live
in south Texas and live 5 miles north of the Mexican border. I read some of this thread...it sounds like you are asking about "flautas" or "envueltos"? Maybe I can help. Post it or e-mail me ... I am a "Guera", but I am a pretty good cook of both Tex-Mex and traditional northern Mexican food. Cathy |

"D J" > wrote in message ... > they were made by my grandfather . who came from mexico , thank you to > anyone that can help.. We have to give DJ credit for being the best troll in a long time. He/she was able to stimulate a nice long string on the subject of tacos. And regardless of the value DJ may have received, the rest of us in the newsgroup were able to enjoy a short surge of adrenalyn in the belief we were being of help to a fellow human being. Consider this little interchange in light of what is happening in the rest of the world when a word or two triggers a promise of assasination because the words do not reflect another's belief structure. We are so, so lucky! (But how lonw will it last with the growing influence of the wild eyed liberals fully dedicated to help our enemies?) Wayne > |

I do agree that most of them are not bright stars. Soem people may not have a lot of choice. Of course, Dj's post above was a bit higher up the ladder than your postings in this thread have been. Post the stats that back your BS, sw. Reliable stats, not your bs-made-up-on-the-fly stats. jim |

Sorry to Trouble you all with a serious question, but we have just
moved to Melbourne and wonder if anyone out there can help us find a tortilla press and Masa Lista flour. A Mexican friend in Kalgoorlie got us quite addicted to real Mexican (we now understand her disdain for "Tex-Mex" foods.) If no-one knows of a source for the press, she can pick one up for us in Mexico, but we'll have to wait until next year But we'll still need a source for flour &c. Funnily enough, we could get the flour easier in W.A. |
