Nashville has plenty of people with Texas roots. Some came for the music business, some for work or school, and some follow the Longhorns or the Aggies from Middle Tennessee. What they cannot do here is run to H-E-B, because the grocer has no stores outside Texas and Mexico. This page is for Nashville home cooks who grew up with those bakery tortillas, or who tried them on a trip and want them at home. Lonestar Tortillas buys genuine H-E-B tortillas in Austin and ships them to Tennessee, so a Texas breakfast taco or a pan of fajitas can come out of a Nashville kitchen.
Texas tortillas in Nashville
Nashville and Texas have been trading people for a long time, mostly because of country music. Nashville is the center of that industry, and Texas writers and players have long made the move. Willie Nelson is the best-known example. He moved to Nashville in 1960 and went back to Texas in 1972. The city also has organized Texas alumni. The Texas Exes Nashville Chapter and the Middle Tennessee A&M Club both meet here, and game days are a natural time for breakfast tacos.
Nashville cooks already know good Mexican food. Nolensville Pike in South Nashville is widely described as the city's international corridor, with many immigrant-run markets and kitchens. Corn tortillas are easy to find there. The soft, thick flour tortilla from a Texas grocery bakery is a different thing, and it is harder to find in Tennessee.
Then there is the local specialty. Nashville hot chicken is traditionally served on plain white bread with pickle chips. A soft flour tortilla does the same job as the bread. It soaks up the spiced oil and cools the heat, and it folds. A hot chicken taco on an H-E-B tortilla is a fair meeting of the two places.
