Yep, that sounds about right! We do have a rolling pin
. I never thought about buying direct from a tortilla factory...aren't they pretty much the same as we'd get in the store (not like the national brands, but we have a lot of local places here in Chicago that sell in stores)? Maybe fresher when direct? Still, probably not worth the trouble. I love the restaurant idea, may have to try that option some time.
