I cut out wheat and my world changed within a week. I have been eating gluten free every since then. In the New Mexico I can purchase a gluten free bread made by FOOD FOR LIFE that contains brown rice flour, raisin, pecans and is sweetened with fruit juice. It is like eating cake. But now I am taking Spanish immersion course for three months is a small village in Costa Rica. I doubt there are any gluten free breads or other foods in my area. I really miss my gluten free foods. So what I want to do is ask one of the small local family bakeries to make up gluten free recipes for me. The people here are very nice and will go out of their way to be helpful. Can you help me find gluten free recipes in Spanish? Thank you, Tom Coburn I am in the village of Tuis which is about a twenty miles from Turrialba which is about two and a half hours southeast of San Jose.

I can't say I've ever had then come out chewy, so I'm not entirely sure what happened. What brand of masa harina did you use? Did they press out okay? Were they about 1/16" thick? It's possible that your pan wasn't quite hot enough during your second cooking (the part where it's supposed to puff up) and they overcooked as a result (should only take 20-30 seconds on one side and 10-15 seconds on the other).

As I live in northern Thailand, the closest place where I can buy any tortillas is 100km away. Two years ago I started making flour tortillas and my fridges is rarely without them now. Corn tortillas, on the other hand, are a much bigger challenge... Am currently trying to get some dent corn seeds shipped over so that I can grow the correct corn and make fresh masa when the corn tortilla cravings overcome me... Keep up the good work and I look forward to more (no)recipes... Nice tortillas Marc!
