Sonoran flour tortilla · Phoenix
The oversized, tissue-thin flour tortilla known as a tortilla de agua, stretched by hand until nearly translucent, the base of a proper Sonoran burro.
The giant Sonoran flour tortilla is a borderland craft, stretched by hand and cooked on a hot comal until it is paper-thin and supple, sometimes wide enough to fold a full burro. Arizona inherited the tradition from Sonora, and Phoenix tortilla factories and family kitchens still turn them out warm. Carolina's built its reputation on them, and La Sonorense sells them by the dozen.
