RECIPE: Best tortillas and Quesadillas

Somehow I was totally behind in discovering these AMAZING uncooked tortillas. Seems that all my friends had heard of them. But if you haven't, then this post is for you! My mother in law introduced me and they are hands down, the best (excluding anything from Cafe Rio of course). They look like this:
And you can find them in the refridgerated section of Costco (don't be mistaken and look in the freezer section. I've done that and gone searching for 20 minutes.) You can store half of them in your freezer when you get home so they last longer.

Then, you just cook them up in your pan (no oil or extras needed). Wait till they puff up on one side:
Flip and watch it rise on the other side. Looks like Naan:
For a quesadilla, add cheese after cooking the first side:
And enjoy. This is (almost) a daily Lucy lunch in our house:

Best Sourdough

Casey and I have discovered our favorite sourdough bread at Vons. In fact, it's made by Vons! We've been trying various brands for a while and we think this is the yummiest.
Look for it in their fresh bakery section. The trick is to look at the "sell by" date. If the date is still 2-3 days off, it's bound to be fresh and baked that day. It's also best if light-colored and not too dark on top. Don't be fooled by picking up their other non-sourdough loaves though. They look similar but aren't as yummy.

Today for lunch I toasted a slice with tomatoes and mozzarella and parmesan cheeses on top. Yummy, cheesy, soft and toasty!
