Creating miraculous images on tortillas, tacos and tostadas is an art that I have spent years practicing.  And yet, like a Buddhist monk creating an intricate mandala, I am always learning.  With every new tortilla comes greater wisdom, greater understanding.  Should I have used more browning sauce?  Should I have set the heat gun on a higher temperature?  Should my gin and tonic have had more lime, or should I be drinking martinis instead?  These are the questions all great artists ask themselves.

But to spare you the long journey over the prickly cactus of art, I will reveal the steps taken to create a Miraculous Jesus on a Tortilla. 

• Step 1: Mix some Kitchen Bouquet browning sauce and Burnt Umber acrylic paint.
• Step 2: Apply to a flour tortilla.
• Step 3: Finish up the image.  Have a drink.
• Step 4: Use a heat gun to burn the tortilla and brown the sauce
• Step 5: Crap, you burned the tortilla too much!.  Have another drink, feed the burned tortilla to the squirrels.
• Step 6: Draw another picture of Jesus on the tortilla.
• Step 7: Use the heat gun again.  This time, be careful.
• Step 8: Now that's a Jesus!  Have another drink.
