Tortilleria

As I've mentioned before, there are millions of Tortillerias in Mexico.

There are a couple in each neighborhood and this is what they look like. They are open from really early in the morning until they've sold all the tortillas for that day.  This one is three houses down from us and my favorite thing ever is eating tortillas when they're hot off the machine.  The machine has a big bowl where the dough goes. Then it plops the perfect amount down where it's pressed into a thin uncooked tortilla.  There are hundreds that move over an oven on a conveyor belt which cooks them.  They then flip off onto a cooling belt which carries them to where they're stalked into piles manually.  Here's the link to a video that I took of the machine at work.  http://youtu.be/62W7evfODkQ    They are sold fifteen pesos for a kilo.  You just walk up to the window and they ask you how many pesos. Then they weigh the amount for however many pesos you want to buy and wrap them in a piece of paper. They are delicious!
