Denver has plenty of good tortillas. What it does not have is an H-E-B. The chain has no stores outside Texas and Mexico, so its bakery flour tortillas and butter tortillas never reach Colorado shelves. This page is for people in Denver who know those tortillas by name. That means Texans who moved to the Front Range for work or for the mountains, families with roots in San Antonio or the Valley, and Colorado cooks who tried a butter tortilla on a trip south and want it in their own kitchen. Lonestar buys them at H-E-B in Austin and ships them to Colorado addresses.
Texas tortillas in Denver
Denver is a green chile town. The local way to eat a burrito is smothered, covered in pork green chile and eaten with a fork. Breakfast burritos are a morning habit here too. That is a different tradition from the Tex-Mex of San Antonio or Austin, where a soft, thick flour tortilla does more of the work and breakfast comes folded in a taco. The two go together well. A Texas flour tortilla can sit under a ladle of green chile, and it is soft enough to tear and dip in the bowl.
Denver sits at 5,280 feet and has a semi-arid climate. The dry air pulls moisture out of bread and tortillas quickly once a package is open, so close the bag tightly after each use. To reheat, a few seconds per side on a hot dry skillet brings a flour tortilla back. A damp paper towel in the microwave works when you are in a hurry.
Denver also has an organized Texas crowd. The Texas Exes have a Rocky Mountain Chapter and Texas A&M has a Club of Denver, and both bring alumni together in the area. A stack of fajita tortillas or a tray of breakfast tacos fits a fall football Saturday at home, a long way from the nearest H-E-B.
