My wife does love me. She does not love chipotle, but she knows that my dalliance with all things associated with this smoked jalapeño is completely innocent. And completely inane, but it keeps me out of bars.

We have gone many rounds over the types of tortillas we buy, however. She will not abide with the mainstream bleached white flour kind adulterated with poisonous partially hydrogenated fats!

I, however, have different standards.

I factor in a variety of issues:

  • cost per unit (I prefer a bag with more than 8 inside)
  • diameter (I prefer a 10"er)
  • thickness (this effects whether they crumble when toasted... I loathe a sloppy burrito)
  • and packaging (I prefer a zippered bag, tho I will transfer tortillas from their store bag to an adopted bag with a zipper if needed). Also inane, but keeps 'em fresher!

When you're stuck in a shopping rut you'll run out of options. Each grocery store has a limited variety of brands it will stock. Since we usually shop at either Fred Meyer or the Oly Food Coop we usually see the same brands over and over again. Even though we sometimes will go to Safeway, Thriftway or Top Foods we still usually see the same main players.

Then she went to Mega Foods and brought home these Tumaro's Chipotle Tortillas... bless her heart. They're available on Amazon too! Click that sucka!
