Hi all. I love Mexican food, and would like to make my own flour tortillas where possible. However, the problems I've had are that a) they aren't pliable enough (making them break/snap when rolling), b) it's hard to roll them out in perfect circles and then pick them up and transfer them to the frying pan without destroying them and c) I don't like the last-minute nature of it all, ideally I'd like to be able to make a batch in advance and then store them or freeze them until I'm ready to use them, then reheat.
Does anyone have any advice or perfect methods/recipes? The last recipe I tried was from Rick Stein's Road to Mexico, which gave me a delicious flavour but a not-pliable-enough texture. I worry that making in advance and reheating would exacerbate the over-crispy issues.
While I'm at it, the Rick Stein book is the only dedicated Mexican cookbook I have, what would your recommendations be for the best Mexican cookbooks out there? Preferably ones with UK/French editions so I don't have to do all the cup-to-ml/gram conversions myself!
