We travel (well prior to Covid) a great deal in the US west. In WA state, especially in the eastern sector/fruit growing belt there is a huge Hispanic population. We have visited small towns that could pass for a dusty Mexican village...all Spanish speaking residents, Spanish signs. Other towns, still very small, that have a dividing line separating the Anglo from the Hispanic sides of town. Many years ago we came across an elderly woman making tortillas in the way you outline in your post. They were small, 5" across but the stack was 6" high and I think we paid $1.25. We ate tortillas for days.....pan heated for breakfast with a scrambled egg....pan heated and rolled up with jam. Lunch was a tortilla rolled up with a slice of ham inside.....no end of ways to eat them.
