Those who have a Trader Joe's around can get Habanero Flour tortillas from
them--quite tasty but not much heat.  Actually the markets around here (in
S. Calif) do carry a number of different tortillas with chiles and other
assorted condiments in them.  None very hot, though.

Next time we make tortillas we'll give it a try--throw some of Jim's hab
powder in, or smoked Savina.  Ja!  Hmmm, or Sopes! Thick corn tortillas
grilled with assorted toppings and fillings.  Yes!  The market down the
street has a tortilleria that sells fresh made masa for tortillas by the
pound.  Makes things easy.

On another note our crop of aji amarillos ran out a few weeks ago.  We had
fresh ajis since late last summer.  Great chile!  So nothing but store
bought until a new crop appears. :(

Hot regards,

Riley
