BTW, just realized El Milagro had a couple taquerias in Little Village and Pilsen....I may need to check one out.
Yeah, we buy those when we know we're having tacos. But we buy the Mission tortillas just to have around for lunch wraps and stuff like that. They last longer in my experience. When I've had freshly cooked tortillas at one of those restaurants where they make them all day long, they're pretty fantastic. I don't know that we'd ever be able to buy those here other than with a restaurant meal in Pilsen or Little Village. Perhaps one of the Mexican grocery stores would make them in house?
