For me, crepes ain't worth the stress to make fresh. Just buy a little pack from store and focus on filling is my go to.

Corn tortillas. It's a lot easier to just buy some.

I disagree on this one, corn tortillas are really simple if you have a press. The dough is literally just mix masa and water. And to cook them, you just put it on a hot surface for 30 seconds. Meanwhile corn tortillas from the store are always so dry and tasteless, they're rarely worth buying

My kids won't even eat store bought tortillas.

I agree a lot of commercial corn tortillas are not good. I particularly don't like the fake-soft ones that have dough conditioners and preservatives for no reason. But with as much cooking as I do, I can't bring myself to make tortillas when I make masa - I always end up doing pupusas, arepas or tamales. My main use of corn tortillas is enchiladas casserole style so homemade ones are kind of pointless since they 75% disintegrate.

Yup I can't find anything in the stores that compares and I don't mind making them. Really only do this in the summer when there's some garden ingredients though, with a ground meat or bean sauce for protein.

Part corn part wheat is the best tortilla, but I can't buy them near me so i make them sometimes.
