Trader Jose's Corn Tortillas (10 oz.)

Item Purchased: Trader Jose's Corn Tortillas (10 oz.)
Location Purchased: Trader Joe's / 1840 N. Clybourn Ave. / Chicago, IL
Price: $0.99 + tax
Purchased on: (1/23/07)

Review: Here in Chicago, corn tortillas are a dime a dozen (sometimes literally), so why would I pay a dollar for the same?

Trader Joe's corn tortillas are your typical pressed corn discs with a bland flavor. When pan fried in oil, they crisp up nicely and absorb the flavor of the oil you use more than other brands. Their primary difference (and the one that wins me over) is that even if you don't fry them thoroughly (or at all), these tortillas don't taste as mealy as other brands. You wouldn't want to just eat them straight from the bag, but the un-mealiness is an important factor when dealing with the foundation of another culture's cuisine.
