La Tortilla Factory Low Carb Flour Tortillas - Soft Taco Size

Soft taco size is a pretty freakin' big size - which is great, I like the space. And I did use them for tacos, which I always like. The tortillas themselves are kind of irrelevant, but these were honestly not that great tasting - a little wet and not...tortilla flavored? But they were big and didn't rip, and had a shocking amount of fiber (and are low carb I guess) so they're good enough for me. I ate 'em all, don't worry.

La Tortilla Factory Barbacoa Slow Cooker Sauce Starter

Yo, I have serious "beef" with this sauce. Actually I'm not sure if it's the sauce or the instructions or the meat I used that really boned me. What happened though is that in the end, my barbacoa turned out super dry. So the problem is that slow cooked stuff, you shouldn't look inside the pot too many times, you know, or it won't cook (that's burned me before!). The instructions say to use 2-3 pounds of chuck meat, but my pot is smaller, so I just used ~1.5lbs. I used the full amount of water/sauce mix, and exactly the time specified by the package (8hrs -- yes, it does sound long, DOESN'T IT?). Final result: mad dry meat. Thus I didn't get much flavor on it either. So now I have a ton of meat. It did shred, and it is cooked through, so I guess it's technically edible, but I am not enjoying the process. It makes a lot. The sauce tastes only of burnt meat. I cannot in good conscience recommend this, but that's OK because I've never seen it in a store anyway.

La Tortilla Factory Hand Made Style Tortillas, White Corn & Wheat

Is this "La Tortilla" or LA Tortilla? A classic question. These are very opaque tortillas. I guess that's what I associate with corn tortillas, like at CalTort -- they feel thicker/stronger than flour ones. But these are 50/50 corn and flour, which is cool in concept, even though in practice they feel more like corn ones to me - shiny and thick. The concept of corn tortillas has really grown on me over the past few years, though, so I'm not opposed to it. These are a nice size, not too big or too small, and you get 8 of them in a nice resealable bag. I used them for tacos, and it was fine. They didn't break or do anything wacky. Good job, tortillas.
