Phoenix is a flour tortilla town already. The style here comes from Sonora, the Mexican state just south of Arizona, and it runs large and thin. That is a fine tortilla, but it is not the one a Texan grew up with. This page is for people in Phoenix who moved from Texas, or spent enough time there, and want the H-E-B bakery tortilla for breakfast tacos and fajitas. H-E-B has no stores outside Texas and Mexico, so there is no location in Arizona to drive to. Lonestar Tortillas buys them in Austin and mails them to you.
Texas tortillas in Phoenix
Phoenix sits in the Sonoran Desert, and its Mexican cooking leans Sonoran. That means flour tortillas stretched wide and thin, often big enough to fold into a burrito the length of your forearm. Arizona also has its own tortilla dishes. The cheese crisp, an open-faced flour tortilla baked with cheese until the edges turn crisp, is an Arizona specialty. The chimichanga, a deep-fried burrito, is commonly credited to Arizona too.
The H-E-B tortillas are a different thing. The bakery flour and butter tortillas are taco-sized and soft, and the homestyle pack is described as fluffy. They are built for the Texas breakfast taco: eggs, potato, bacon or chorizo, folded once and eaten by hand. If a Sonoran tortilla is your everyday choice, think of these as the second kind you keep on hand for the meals that call for them.
The Texas Exes, the University of Texas alumni association, has a Phoenix Chapter, so there are Longhorns in the Valley of the Sun. If you are putting out food for a game, a stack of butter tortillas and a pan of fajita meat will taste like home to anyone in the room who came from Texas.
