I just watched this five times in a row. And my soul left my body each time. Masterful.

Anyone out there struggling with affording food who isn't already aware of this: making your own tortillas is dead easy and dirt cheap, and they're better than store-bought because of course they are. You mix corn masa flour (I use Maseca because it's cheap and readily available) with water, let it sit in a bowl for two hours, then flatten a piece and put it in a pan till it's cooked, until you run out of pieces.

That's it.

You can get a tortilla press if you have the cash for that (~$30 for one that doesn't suck), but I've gotten satisfactory (if lumpy) tortillas just using my hands and whatever else is lying around. They're versatile, and, importantly, a lot of meals you can make with them feel filling and complete but won't bust your budget.

I hope this helps someone else like it helped me!
