Charlotte has grown fast, and much of that growth is people moving in from other states for work. Some of them come from Texas, and they learn quickly that H-E-B has no stores outside Texas and Mexico. This page is for those cooks: the Texan who took a banking job Uptown, the Longhorn who keeps up with the Texas Exes Charlotte Chapter, and the Carolina native who spent a few years in Austin or San Antonio and came home missing breakfast tacos. Lonestar ships genuine H-E-B tortillas to Charlotte, so the tortilla drawer can look the way it did back in Texas.
Texas tortillas in Charlotte
Charlotte sits in the North Carolina Piedmont, and the Piedmont has its own barbecue. It is pork shoulder, cooked slow, dressed with a vinegar sauce that has a little tomato in it, and served with red slaw. Texans who move here tend to be brisket people, but pulled pork shoulder turns out to be a very good taco filling. A soft flour tortilla holds the meat and the slaw, and the sharp sauce does the job a salsa would do. It is a Carolina plate folded the Texas way.
The other pull is breakfast. A Texas morning often starts with eggs, potatoes or bacon in a warm flour tortilla, and that habit travels with people when they relocate. Charlotte is one of the country's major banking centers, and it draws workers from all over, Texas included. The University of Texas alumni association has a chapter here, which says something about how many Longhorns have landed in town.
If you are cooking for family elsewhere in the state, Lonestar also has pages for Winston-Salem, Greensboro and Fayetteville. The same H-E-B tortillas are listed on each one.
