You were still cooking the corn tortillas that you used to buy at the store, right?
yeah, Dollar Tree sells them too. maybe 25 for a dollar? the number of times i make tacos, maybe once every few months, its worth it.
Once properly cooked, I don't find much difference in taste for any of the corn tortillas I've had in Texas (restaurant or store bought) and they are already super cheap. HEB even makes their own (multiple types), on location in the bigger stores, which cost $0.04 each. They also keep for a long time:

Every store I have been in carries one of these brands, when I didn't live close to an HEB:

It's also not really any cheaper to make them yourself, at least going off HEB corn flour prices. According to the internet, 2 cups of corn flour makes ~15 tortillas. 2 cups = 1 lbs dry, which gives us 66 tortillas per 4.4 bag. So using the cheapest flour, that makes it $0.047 each.

Yep, I still cooked the store bought ones.
yea i really wanted an aluminum one for ease of storage, but the reviews suck, guess you really need the heft of pure cast iron to be effective
Fuck yeah! La Baderita is cheap as hell, but the best damn pre-made tortillas you can get. That's all I ever buy, and I just turn on the gas burner on the stove top, and toss them a few times on the Open flame. They've got quite a bit of lard I think, but they're so tasty, and cheaper than mission or any of the other big brands.

They're also disgusting. The pre-made tortillas that just taste like a weird piece of unleavened bread and have some kind of weird chew and chemical aftertaste, blehhhh.
There are a couple Mexican market chains here in Southern California that carry a lot of decently priced stuff you can t get at normal markets, or a lot cheaper. A bit out of the way so we tend to go if we’re doing a taco night with extended family or something.
dollar tree food beyond packaged/canned shit looks scary. i remember going to them to see what i could find when covid hit (to get iso alcohol), like you can get regular del monte canned stuff and packaged food, but i would be scared as fuck w/ their fridge options.
Oh hell no. Don't touch their brand z foods. Stick to the name brand stuff you know. They got em, just gotta look for it.
Dude, just use the bacon press thing.fucking hell
Guess that's like beignets. Will occasionally make poor Man's beignets with a tube of biscuit dough. They're not bad, we just buy the cheapest tube available, and fun to do maybe on a Sunday with your coffee.
