I really don't know how to make them..I've never tried. I will heat the ones from the store. The mexican restaurant close to our house has awesome ones, though.
Flour from the store aren't awful for certain.

If you live in an area with an ethnic market or have a store that stocks a better than the typical average selection, the corn ones from stores aren't terrible either. I used to live in a very ethnically diverse area and the local large chain grocery store had a very decent selection of bagged corn tortillas. I swear there were at least 15 to 20 brands.

Not as good as fresh from scratch but very decent and not terribly cost ineffective either!

We have an entire end cap that is just covered (end and sides) with different brands and types of tortillas. Also have an entire aisle of ethnic foods. Very, very ethnically diverse area. All kinds of little mom and pop grocery stores, too. Tons of Mexican and Asian. Mediterranean, one South African, one Armenian. I'm sure there are tons of others, those are just the ones I've noticed and still remember. We have TONS of Indian and Pakistani people here, too... so there's got to be grocery stores.

It's super easy, you just have to keep practicing to make the perfectly round.

Just buy the tortilla flour, follow instructions on mixing. Then let it rise per instructions. Roll it into balls. Then sprinkle flour on counter & a bit on the dough ball so it doesn't stick and use a rolling pin to spread it. Put it on a gridle. Done. Easy peasy
There's that press thingy that Alton uses or did use in his tortilla episode.

Even though that's a nearly anti-Alton one-dimensional tool!

Ok, go to the store and buy some Spanish rice, go home and cook it. That is my authentic Mexican rice recipe. Stick Out Tongue
I hope your promotion works out. Because if you need to make it as a cook you suck!!! You suck even moar than I do and that's hard to do!!!

My mom used that to make a different kind of tortilla but not flour. I want to say corn but I'm not sure.

I really miss living in an area like that!

I used to shop at a tiny bodega back when I was in grad school a million years ago. It was slightly more expensive but it was a treat to get some of the selection you just couldn't find in mainstream stores.
