Chevys Fresh Mex Flour Tortillas

Twice a day, Chevys Fresh Mex mixes up gigantic batches of tortilla dough, divides the mass into thousands of little flour balls and then feeds them, one at a time, into the El Machino™. Out the other end comes their Famous Flour Tortillas ready to make their delicious Tacos, Burritos and More.

Here’s a slightly scaled-down version you can make at home, minus the El Machino™. We are assuming here that you do not own one of these. 😉
