Tortillas Don't Puff


Listen Later

We've all had those moments where our best intentions meet a harsh reality. You finally get the perfect ingredient ratio down, you visualize the fluffy tortillas you're about to enjoy, and then… a mishap with the oven timer and a blazing temperature leaves you with a tray of burnt sopes instead. 440°F for 40 minutes is a recipe for a kitchen disaster, but it's also a masterclass in resilience. This episode is dedicated to the beauty of the attempt. Join us as we talk about the messy, frustrating, and entirely necessary process of trial and error. Because whether you are standing over a hot stove or navigating the complexities of life, the magic doesn't happen instantly. It takes patience, adjustment, and the willingness to burn a few batches along the way. Like the perfect tortilla, one day you'll catch that steam, and you will puff up. In This Episode, We Cover:

  • The Kitchen Reality Check: The exact moment a tortilla experiment turned into burnt sopes, and why 440°F for 40 minutes is just too hot and too long.
  • The Power of Trying: Shifting your perspective from "I failed this recipe" to "I'm still learning, growing, and showing up."
  • Finding the Bubble: A poetic look at resilience—how to keep believing in the good and waiting for your moment to rise, even when you're currently surrounded by the "bad" (or the burnt).

Key Takeaways & Quotes: "But the important thing is that I'm trying. I'm still learning. I'm still growing. And like the tortilla, one day I'll puff up… That is the bubble."

  • The Pivot: You might set out to make one thing and accidentally create another. Even when it burns, the fact that you stepped into the kitchen and tried is what matters.
  • Watch Your Temperature: Sometimes we push ourselves too hard and too fast (metaphorically living at 440°F). True growth requires the right environment, not just maximum heat.

Taquote: Faith is believing in good when surrounded by bad……"
