Hi, Emily, I’m so glad it turned out well for you! I don’t have a good local source of lard either. There sure is a growing market for lard in our community of slow foodies!

Thank you for this post! I made these nachos from your homemade tortilla recipe a few nights ago. We dipped them in some tomato soup. They were absolutely fantastic. I think that I could have probably gotten by with using only 1/2 cup of coconut oil for the frying. I am going to try that next time since the oil is a bit expensive. Wish I could find some good lard.

Great post.
All I keep in mind is that it is becoming more difficult to eat GMO-free food and it’s a shame. Soon, health-oriented consumers will no longer have the choice between genetically engineered food and GMO-free food.
Did you know for example that 100% of sugar beets produced in North America are GMO (55% of total sugar source)? So basically, we have no choice but to eat GM ingredients if the food is sweetened with sugar beets. Unbelievably, the FDA does not require manufacturers to specify that the sugar they use is GM.
This is the reason why I eat mostly organic and kosher occasionally.

Well, I now have the ingredients ready to do make the tortillas – need to find the right kind of fat. I’m looking forward to it!

Since you are on the topic of corn, I have a question. Two people in my family have corn allergies. As I’ve mulled this over, I wondered: might they tolerate organic corn? Could it be that commercial corn products are such a far cry from acutal, real corn that they are reacting to all the strange stuff, not the corn itself? Does anyone have any experience with this? I would love to be able to serve nachos again.

What is that ripply brown thing your nachos are sitting on? Is that some kind of baking mat? We love nachos, too. We're tenderfeet here, so we like non-spicy ingredients. But I'd rather eat a plate of nachos than a taco any day of the week! Local Nourishment’s last blog post..Real Foodies, help me fix this gizzard dish!
