I make my own tortillas for tacos but use cheap store bought tortillas for enchiladas.

i end up making my own for enchiladas. I do 50/50 corn/flour. Good mix of flavor while not falling apart when you roll. Though I soften in oil anyway to prevent them from breaking, even if i use store bought. But I ended up doing this b/c I have to make mexican/texmex food for the in-laws when I'm up north and the selection of tortillas at the grocery store is garbage. Its not that hard to make them and the kids like to help, so I started doing it at here in texas for enchiladas as well.

I typically make enchiladas with fresh homemade corn tortillas. If they're fresh I don't find that they need any softening to be pliable enough not to break.

I can find the Land O Lakes at Restaurant Depot but I have a Sam's club close to the house.

I use this for queso and enchiladas. I use a mix of it and shredded cheddar for Mac n Cheese

Dayum. Can pickup any day! LOL. I have never made homemade tortillas but wil look this up. I have to semi-fry them to make them plyable for enchiladas. Thats half the work.

With a good press it's easier and way less mess to make them yourself. And they are so much better. I have one of those cheap cast presses and it isn't great but it works. After a friend's mom brought me a real deal press back from Mexico it got a lot easier. That thing is probably 25 pounds of mesquite.

Nice. I have a cast press that I've used the hell out of. Works just fine, but I bet that thing is great.
