Tortillas fall flat in New Mexico, but will California add Bigfoot to its list of state symbols?

That’s how Tortilla Flats got its name.

"Fallen flat"? A good Sopapilla would fix that! Especially hot out of the oven with honey. Yum! There was a little Mexican cantina in a mamacita's casa in Pinetop, Arizona 50 years ago. She made the very best homemade Sopapilla in the world! You ate at her family dining table.

I love em

They’ve never found one G’D bigfoot... Not one. No bones, no fecal matter, nothing. Just a bunch of faked footprints and phony film clips.

It’s the hoax that people just won’t let die.

[nickcarraway]

That's because Native Americans are every part of the bigfoot.

And the rest were eaten by chupacabra and hydras.

Tortillas are not unique to New Mexico. They seem to be dominant in the Green Chiles department, from what I see here in Arizona.

I believe the State bread of New Mexico should be sopapillas. Without question, unique to New Mexico.

I grew up on these, and we called them doodads. I never knew that they were really called sopapillas until I went to a restaurant in Santa Fe.
My mother made them with a big pot of beans.♥️

[FlingWingFlyer]

We need that here.

I thought it read tortillas were the new state animal.

I am about to heat one up with butter for a snack. I had two for breakfast with egg, ham, jalapeño, cheese, and other goodies. New Mexico’s state bread should be Navajo flat bread.

I’ll bet Mom’s were good!

[LegendHasIt]

I never thought I’d agree with Governess Lujan. NM has a lot more important stuff to worry about than another symbol. (although Lujan and her co-conspirators are the ones responsible for most of the problems.)

As to the state bread; If they really want to do it.... How about Navajo Fry Bread instead of tortillas and sopapillas?

[LegendHasIt]

Ya beat me to it!!!

[crusty old prospector]

Yea, I called it flat bread and it is fry bread. My wife is the one who is from Albuquerque.

Last night I had quesadillas for dinner.
Super yummy!

[tinamina]

So good that I had to coerce the recipe out of her and whenever we have a family get together, we have to make them.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

LOL...mom wouldn’t trust her own daughter with her prized recipe?

[tinamina]

No, she was just used to cooking without a recipe. Some flour,, a glob of this some of this, some of that. Trying to figure out the science of that was very difficult on my end. Now I understand the process a lot better, but at the time it was perplexing.
