If you feel like doing a deep-dive, I'm a total taco nerd! I have a couple posts here on them:
I buy the lard (leaf lard) for my homemade flour tortillas here: (these days, I just buy them pre-packaged in the one-pound bags & then freeze them to extend the shelf life)
You can use the lard for other stuff, like these amazing carnitas:
If you don't want to go the lard route, this is a good technique that uses warm milk for no-knead tortillas:
For homemade corn tortillas, I use this nixtamalization process:
I buy my flour & corn in 25-pound bags. I store them in 5-gallon food-grade pails with a twist-off lid: (I use OXO Pop containers for smaller quantities in the kitchen, plus a scoop to reload those containers as needed)
I use a monster 10" cast-iron press: (expensive, but it's a lifetime purchase, re: /r/BuyItForLife, and works for both big & little tortillas)
I use this microwaveable warmer to keep the tortillas warm for serving:
Internet Shaquille has a great video on why restaurant burritos are better than homemade & what to do about it:
Quick-pickled onions are a really great taco topping to try out, here's a couple recipes:
That may seem like an overwhelming amount of information for mere tacos, but having the equipment, supplies, and recipes already setup in my kitchen means that it's a piece of cake...I've got tons of flour in my big bucket & use that to refill my Pop containers in my kitchen, then I can grab some flour, whip up some no-knead tortillas, let them sit for 30 minutes, smash it on my press, cook it in a skillet, and keep it warm in the fabric warming disc. Homemade tortillas are a huge step up in quality, taste, texture, and functionality over store-bought ones, and you can do so many things with them that it makes setting up an nice little workflow at home worth doing if you're into tortillas!
It was this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QDZRCCY
Most presses on AZ had crap reviews due to cheap / soft hinge pins.
I can say these are SS screws at least on the unit delivered to me...so hoping for the long term best, I've literally only 'pressed' the one FB so far last night....
