I'm considering packing in tortillas so I can make trout tacos.
The only problem is that if you don't' cook tortillas they kind of taste like raw dough.
1. can you get fully cooked tortillas?
2. if I cook them at home will they still be malleable when in the wild?
Aug 13, 2012 at 5:19 am #1902221Try the blended corn and flour ones. Best of both worlds for packing. Not too crumbly like 100% corn and has flavor unlike the flour only.
But yes you can buy flour tortillas both cooked and uncooked.
Corn ones are cooked or else it would just be a pile of masa and water
Aug 13, 2012 at 7:09 am #1902244If you cook the tortillas at home, they will harden. I recommend getting a small aluminum comal. A comal is a smooth, flat griddle typically used in Mexico to cook tortillas. All it really amounts to is a flat aluminum disc that you can set over a fire, nothing fancy. It shouldn't weigh much at all.
Aug 13, 2012 at 10:32 am #1902306You didn't mention what cooking method you are using but I've made tacos/burritos while camping and I just heat/toast the tortillas directly over the flame of a canister stove on low heat making sure to keep it moving.
I do the same thing at home all the time toasting tortillas directly over the gas flame of my stove.

I think I could do this especially if I use two tent stakes to prevent the tortillas from falling in …
I wish I had a back yard to play with cooking on my wood stove but I live in the city.
