I grew up with home made tortillas and my mom would probably disinherit me if I added lard or something like that lol. So I’m very much in the camp of only salt, water, maseca and nothing else, but I think experimenting is always fun so that is up to you.

I would try making them a bit thicker, and like you said a warmer pan. Also, flip them sooner and then flip them back at the end if you want them to be toastier, that may help too.

Looks like your maseca mix could have used a bit more water to prevent the cracking on the surface of the tortillas.

Having said that, the whole thing looks delicious. I’m making some tomorrow after seeing this lol

Never seen a bike with that rear design? Is it a local brand?

Mounted Queens: they move like Knights but 2x the distance (4 and 2)

ESPN FC presents play soccer (Fifa)… I guess not very interesting

This sounds like a conversation for you and your manager. I’ve had a few with my team that have resulted in different solutions for different people.

With one we established a monthly 1h call for her to explain where she is stuck, what she has tried, and we brainstorm how to get through it. This is separate from our usual weekly check-ins and focuses on issues related specifically to complexity and ambiguity.

With another, he created a list of what she thinks needs to happen and puts together ideas on how to get through it. I review it and then give him feedback. He liked this as over time he built confidence on his ideas as my feedback more often than not was “exactly what I would try, go for it”.

Finally, sometimes is about reducing the work load on that team member until they get a good foothold and slowly start adding more.

Shot answer, no one solution or easy path, but communication with your manager and hopefully a good manager is your besy bet.

Don’t burn out! Ask for help and guidance when needed, and take care of your mental and physical health (get a hobby, go out with friends, go to the gym, etc.)

I’ve seen brilliant people burn out and end up leaving/missing out growth opportunities because of it. Now that I manage people, it is my biggest area of focus because many times the best employees are the most at risk. They keep getting praise and asked to be involved in more and more and it becomes hard to say ‘no’ to new projects, responsibilities, etc… Until it is to much.

When it happens everyone looses, your boss, your team, the company, and especially you.

I didn’t know that, how often does a user have to comment/post to be “active”? Are we only active the days we do it?
