That's funny! I've made a lot of those tortillas, too. I mean A LOT! 
 
I got a four loaf batch resting nicely on the sideboard right now, thanks to everyone's yeast advice. [deep bow] Thank Yew! 
 
Mmmmm.... fresh bread with bison stew tonight, and a tart spinach salad with Honey Crisp apples and Pt. Reyes Blue.
