[Leica] IMG: Tortillas by Firelight

Tina,  both the color and the black-and-white  photographs are National 
Geographic calibre as part of a layout on Guatemala ; I  believe the first 
one in 
color is more dramatic...
 
The hand-made tortillas in  the photograph look like they're made of corn , 
which I favor  at a tiny taco stand in Santa Fe, N.M., crisp and filled with 
bits of  chicken, lettuce, raw onions and salsa picante...Years ago, in 
Mexico 
City, I  got them that way at similar stands downtown at two or three in the 
 
morning...
 
At home in the mountains of North Carolina, where  there are thousands of 
Latinos from Mexico, I prefer the store-bought tortillas  made with flour...
