Seattle sits more than 2,000 miles by road from Austin, and H-E-B has no stores outside Texas and Mexico. A Texan who moves to Puget Sound leaves that tortilla aisle behind. This page is for that cook: the one who grew up on soft flour tortillas for breakfast tacos, or who wants a tall stack of white corn in the kitchen for weeknights. It is also for Seattle home cooks who have never lived in Texas but ate breakfast tacos on a trip to Austin or San Antonio and want to make them at home. The Texas Exes, the University of Texas alumni association, has a Puget Sound chapter, so the Texas community here is an organized one.
Texas tortillas in Seattle
Seattle cooking follows the weather. The city has a long, cool, wet season through fall and winter, and summers that are mild and much drier. The gray months suit skillet and stovetop food: quesadillas on a hot pan, enchiladas in the oven, a pot of tortilla soup with strips of corn tortilla crisped on top. When the dry weather arrives, the grill comes out, and fajitas with warm flour tortillas make sense on a long summer evening.
Seattle also has something Texas does not: Pacific salmon. It is a staple of Pacific Northwest cooking, and it takes well to a tortilla. Grill or pan-sear a fillet, flake it into small white corn tortillas, and add shredded cabbage and lime. It is a Northwest fish taco built on a Texas tortilla, and it is a good reason to keep a pack of street taco tortillas on hand.
Then there is the Texas side. Breakfast tacos are a morning habit in Austin and San Antonio: eggs, potatoes, bacon or chorizo folded into a soft flour tortilla. They are simple to make at home if the tortilla is right. For Texans around Puget Sound, including members of the Texas Exes Puget Sound Chapter, that is often the dish that is hardest to replace. We also have pages for Bellevue, Kent and Tacoma if you are ordering from elsewhere in the area.
