SHTF Food Prep

[Dave]

If you aren't phobic about different fats, regular old lard will give you some extra flavor in corn tortillas. I just started with food preps so most of mine has been MRE's, Wise and now have two trip to the LDS store.

I do have three kits for homebrewing some IPA using dried malt extract, some adjunct grains (barley, just either roasted or malted slightly differently), hop pellets and brewer's yeast that comes in sealed pouches.

I have a bread machine. That is about the extent of my breadmaking skills... I would like to try something cool like tortillas though!

Ya Wise food is pricey stick with the LDS Store and look up the Augason Farms stuff. Walmart sells it online and the one in Elizabeth has tons of it. I bought sixcans of the powder cheese and have close to 100lbs of elbow macaroni from the LDS Store so now I can make lots of Mac and cheese

I also ordered "simple recipes from food storage" on Amazon was $9 should be here in a week. I'll let yall know if its worth it.

HoneyBadger try the tortillas they were extremely easy but would suggest substituting the oil for lard or some other grease like bacon fat. I took about 15 mins to make dough and roll out 10 tortillas and less then 2 minutes each to cook.

I tried these tortillas and ended up with ten dinner plate sized tortilla chips. How do I make them soft?

Less cooking time, they are a basic heat one side then the other item. Take the ones you made and some ground chorizo for nacho's.

[Irving]

I tried cooking them less. Can they be under cooked?

I watch the local mexican bakery guys toss them on the skillet, flip once then off, total time about 1.5 minutes, if that. How thick or thin you making them?

[Irving]

As thin as possible, or else I end up with Pita bread. I just want to figure out how to make them soft first, then I'll worry about how little taste they had.

Maybe you are making them too thin.
