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?

I'm not sure where we'd buy them. Have you have been to Birrieria Zaragoza? One day I counted and they have more people in their kitchen than they have seats in the restaurant. But the woman who makes their tortillas rocks! Unfortunately they don't last more than a day or so. Some things are better enjoyed fresh. (For annoying who's not from Chicago, this is a roast goat place that literally has about 7 things on their menu and each one is perfection.)
