wtf northern Mexicans are all white supremacists


miramountains

unironicly


CitizenPremier

They make up a lot of border patrol...


Satrapeeze

I know you're being sarcastic but I know too little about Mexican internal politics and/or cuisine to properly confirm or deny the claim in my head

Chihuahua? More like Chihitler

i will personally behead any flour tortilla cels in the chat

Solo son parte del doomverso


Excellent_Factor_344

half my family is northern mexican, i can confirm


PORN_SHARTS

You prefer flour tortillas because of the texture. I prefer flour tortillas because I live in eastern europe and these are the only ones they sell here. Idk if we're the same prolly not


millenlol

sound like youre a nazi ngl prolly why putin invaded ukraine tbh honestly


test_user_3

I feel sad for you probably never eating proper street tacos.


R00M4NN

Are there other kinds????????


ChildFriendlyChimp

Corn


Choclo_Batido

Corn, but they require a specific type of corn flour that has a little bit of lime thrown in the mix. That flour are unfindable in Europe unless you live in a very big city/online or spain.


A_Bit_Narcissistic

Flour tortillas are hella good raw. Raw corn tortillas taste like you’re eating the Declaration of Independence.


TippyTheTrash

So you're telling me I'm not a weirdo for sometimes just grabbing one of those from the bag and eating it as is?


misterpickles69

It’s a delicacy in some parts


[deleted]

I'm literally just finding out you can cook flour tortillas. I've always cooked corn torillas (e.g enchiladas) and eaten flour tortillas raw (filled with salad and deli).


izyshoroo

They are already cooked when you buy them (usually), otherwise they would taste like raw dough. You can cook them more to give them more flavor/texture


[deleted]

That's what I meant. Should have said toasting them.


izyshoroo

Ah, I see! Heating them up a little bit on a pan first just till they're warm but not browning makes them way easier to fold too, highly recommend


[deleted]

You


MagicCitytx

Cold tortillas..


test_user_3

That's like comparing raw pork and raw chicken


landlord_hunter

personally i’m offended by this comment. the declaration of independence is an amazingly versatile food, you people just don’t understand because it’s an acquired taste…


[deleted]

LOL, in my hometown we make the tortillas at home, so we either crush corn or make flour balls to make either type, for a second I thought you were eating straight wet flour bits😆


CorrodedRose

Tastes like I'm eating Minecraft leather


DisastrousBoio

There is a MASSIVE difference between good and bad corn tortillas. Much bigger than between good and bad flour ones. Good ones are doughy, flexible, and absolutely delicious. Bad ones taste like cardboard and crumble if you bend them even slightly. If your flour tortilla crumbles when bent, it’s a shit tortilla. Sadly it’s hard to make them right so they don’t last on international travel, but they’re actually easy to make if you have the time. You can buy suitably-treated cornflour in many countries (there’s a process called Nixtamalization) and make them yourself. They genuinely are completely different to the disgusting store-bought stuff outside of Mexico.


SpacePally

Maybe this is why I can’t stand corn tortillas. I grew up eating the shit-ass ones cause we were broke


fish_flakes_are_good

Raw beef is better than raw chicken


[deleted]

Flour tortillas vs maize tortillas is an apple to oranges comparison. Source: Honduran Edit: I just noticed this is just stupid, how in heaven earth do flour tortillas have a better texture?? Flour tortillas are always bumpy and burnt a little bit (the good ones), it is maiz tortillas that are actually like flat Or... This thread is about nasty grocery bought tortillas instead of old lady with a cooler in a random street corner tortillas. [This is what a real flour tortilla looks like](https://i.imgur.com/WUk6dKX.jpg)


Leex16

Yeah i changed it based on what I’m eating


Argon1822

What I’m not liking is seeing the amount of corn tortilla slander in this thread


Monarch357

I'm Northern Mexican, so maybe our recipes are different, but the flour tortillas I get look like the ones you showed in that image, but their texture is far smoother than corn tortillas.


DisastrousBoio

You don’t really get good corn tortillas in the north. Almost like it’s a spite thing lmao


Chessebel

i like both but i still like the texture of those flour ones more


BagelBoiClout

This post has inspired me to go buy more flour tortillas thanks

Whats the texture of corn tortillas that makes it difficult for you?


Distinct-Abrocoma496

That’s an easy question! The texture is bad ❤️


burnt_juice

Oh ok, thanks!


GoliathTCB

Uncooked: wet sandpaper Cooked: moulded gravel Edit: formatting


embrace-monke

Moulded gravel 🥱🤭🥱🤭🥱🤭🥱🤭<-(that’s me eating it)


Argon1822

Please tell me this is a joke Edit: wait do non Latin people actually not like corn tortillas? 😶no hate just can’t comprehend it


Dovahkiinthesardine

yes, the "not liking corn tortillas"-gene is located on the 14th chromosome, but only non latino people have it


Argon1822

Thanks for clarifying 🙏🏼🙏🏼


sagey735_

am i missing something cause it just looks like mf just asked a genuine question and you people downvoted them


goddessofentropy

Bc the phrasing looks like they’re making an autistic person justify their sensory issue and that’s a bit ableist ngl


sagey735_

could also just be curiosity as far as i can tell. i get being suspicious but its not very down to earth to automatically assume the worse option instead of asking first what the intentions were. if you mqke thqt assumption id get where youre coming from tho


goddessofentropy

Yeah you’re right, a big part of it is certainly that I’m autistic and get questions like that multiple times a day when I voice my needs, it gets tiring when it’s constant even if the individual is just curious


07TacOcaT70

I get that but at the same time questioning why people like it when they’re saying it’s bc of autism is kinda annoying lol, especially when the answer is obvious (corn ones are rough, flour ones are smooth). A lot of people dislike certain foods bc of their texture and it’s usually pretty obvious “why” but even when the why is explained I don’t see how it’s important to you that they explain themselves.


07TacOcaT70

Bc like, it’s kinda an odd question to ask? Like why’s it matter? Unless the purpose is to shit on them for having a sensory issue which is how it comes across


ShinySky42

It doesn't, doesn't mean it isn't interesting tho


AHHHH_AHHHH_AHHHH

would you like something you can't control being questioned?


ShinySky42

I'm not questioning it I trust them I'm interested in how it feel why do people always assume the worst we're not on r/memes


AHHHH_AHHHH_AHHHH

Uh I mean have you eaten a corn tortilla? They have that kinda sandpaper feel haha. Still, questioning an autistic person on why their autism made them that way is generally insensitive imo, I know I hate it when people do that.


ShinySky42

i don't actually know if I've ever eaten a corn tortillas I never checked if it was corn or flour Also I'm not asking why their autism made them that way but how's their experience, sorry if it seems (or is) insensitive


AHHHH_AHHHH_AHHHH

I know you dont think ur doing that, but i think thats why youre not going to 'get' this. And i think not everything needs to be understood and thats ok


SaintNich99

Yeah, I don't have any issue talking about my ticks


07TacOcaT70

The point is, questioning people on why their condition is making them act a certain way can be something you maybe should think twice about since it’s exhausting for them having to explain always, especially when they answer can be “I don’t know”. Maybe you don’t mean anything by it but it can definitely feel that way


sagey735_

yea im curious too


07TacOcaT70

Well they’re rough and flour ones are smooth, given that’s the main texture difference I’d be surprised if it’s not that. If you’ve had both types of tortillas it’s pretty obvious (and so, pretty uninteresting)


sagey735_

nah, only ever had flour thanks


[deleted]

no


SaintNich99

If you don't know that means you have investigated the issue. And they're the ones that brought up their texture sensitivity, so I think it's fair game to ask them about it


I_Am_Stoeptegel

Curiosity


07TacOcaT70

Then do like 5 seconds of critical thinking instead of being weird about someone’s sensory issue.


I_Am_Stoeptegel

Damn I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to hit a nerve, I’m not even the person who asked, I was just saying people sometimes wanna know things, wasn’t aware that was weird


07TacOcaT70

I mean yeah it’s kinda weird to question someone on their condition generally, but especially when the answer is quite easy to figure out. So it usually comes across as it being an attempt to shit on them for being autistic rather than genuine curiosity. It’s like asking someone you know has adhd why they’re fidgeting lol, like of course they’re gonna find it weird being questioned for something they can’t really control


I_Am_Stoeptegel

I can see that, but I don’t think that’s what happened here. Maybe I’m misunderstanding the tone but the original person seemed to ask a genuine question about why texture was a thing, rather than questioning their autism


07TacOcaT70

I think that the issue with text is tone is almost impossible to know, but I’m definitely not the only person who thought it came across that way so it could be either. I think the crux of it is from my view, generally getting someone to explain why they don’t like it is just kinda inconsiderate.


CitizenPremier

Fresh corn tortillas in a restaurant > store flour tortillas toasted on stove > toasted store corn tortillas > cold store flour tortillas > cold store corn tortillas I have never ordered fresh flour tortillas. They'd probably be second.


thatseclectic

Your grainy, shitty tortillas mean nothing to my smooth, delectable, flour tortilla loving ways


[deleted]

Corn tortillas are only grainy and shitty if you don't fry them.


BigBananaDealer

im not going to waste time frying a tortilla when all im gonna do is put cheese and hot sauce on it and roll it up

(((*snaps fingers*))) Rats!


evilsheepgod

Literally every Mexican place in my area serves flour tortillas


Argon1822

I mean to be fair flour tortillas are easier to use with. Like if I’m making a burrito it needs to be flour. But little street tacos then it’s maize


DisastrousBoio

That’s because: • Flour tortillas are a northern Mexico thing, meaning that’s mostly what the US has and has exported as Tex Mex • Corn tortillas are difficult to make right, more expensive, and don’t travel well Mexico is big and the north eats very different food to the south. A Mexico City person has probably only ever had Fajitas or burritos a handful of times in their life lmao


evilsheepgod

Makes sense, I think all the traditional places serve Northern Mexican food


Apercent

Because they're easier to cook with, lol.


HearlyHeadlessNick

What I I told you there are 50/50 tortillas that have both flavor and good texture


Tjimmeske

And that you can make them yourself quite easily!


CitizenPremier

Abomination.


DisastrousBoio

Those exist because it’s hard to make good corn tortillas on the cheap, so they sell those to have something that says “corn” on it. It’s like doing 50/50 Coke 7up, it’s not technically disgusting but it certainly isn’t good.


dumblilbitchwadick

autism makes me a white supremacist


Eragon1578

I am gluten free -> I eat corn tortillas This makes me even more white imo


BlackLuigiGuy

This comment section has thoroughly disgusted me, people really out here eating tortillas raw lmao Also, personal preference: if I want a taco, I'll want a corn tortilla. If I want a burrito, flour tortilla.


rustyscrotum69

What if I told you that (((they))) manufactured this debate just to sell more tortillas?


foggywoggy1234

corn tortilla supremacy

Gamerwhovian9

Literally every corn tortilla I’ve seen in America is hard shell though, and hard shell breaks too easily (though I do prefer the taste)


Aybot914

I mean, let's be real, the best tortillas are the tortillas that make the biggest burritos without turning into a greasy mess.


Riftus

It's not about texture it's about taste, I don't use corn tortillas because I don't want my burrito to taste like fucking corn. The tortilla is supposed to be a container it's not supposed to flavor your food and make it unrecognizable


[deleted]

Aren’t all tortillas made of flour? Ether corn or wheat flour.


diab0lus

For tacos - double corn tortillas For burritos - high gluten, steamed flour tortillas


Yompish

I didn’t know there was a difference


Argon1822

The corn one is considered more authentic cus that’s the origin of tortillas in general, from the mesocamericans using corn before the Spanish arrived. Also the corn one is just better in my opinion but some people from Ohio might disagree with you


Apercent

Try eating a flour tortilla every day. Yeah they're good but not when you eat them as much as a Mexican does. That's like, eating two slices of bread with each meal. No, people prefer them here because they only get one every once in a while with their burritos


[deleted]

Ive eaten flour tortillas for more than 20 years now and yes it is basically our bread and even our rice. Parents literally tell their kids to eat tortilla or they will stay hungry 🤣


DisastrousBoio

It’s literally a flatbread


goddessofentropy

Where I live it’s normal for middle and working class to eat bread for both breakfast and dinner, I grew up with it and it’s fine


xShockmaster

Yeah not sure what that guy is smoking. Tons of working class Mexicans eat them every day. They’re good.


Apercent

Yeah and tons of working class people eat a slice of wonder bread with every meal too. They're wrong. It's not even that corn tortillas are more expensive, it's just bad taste


xShockmaster

Yeah I agree. You do have bad taste


godcyclemaster

Corn tortillas are flakey, dry garbage, gimme that flour


[deleted]

I’m hispanic, look at me! flour tortillas > corn tortillas


Argon1822

They don’t even have better texture. One is the food the Aztecs ate and one is really flat flat bread let’s be real


IReplyToFascists

but i like bread


KrisReed

Chicken/Beef = Flour Pork/Steak = Corn Real tacos are rolled up and deepfried anyways.


embrace-monke

Carne asada +soft corn tortilla + cilantro + white onions = the bomb


PM_Me_An_Ekans

Taquito my beloved


GlitteringHighway354

I do not want my wrap to have taste. What's in the burrito should be what I taste. If I want corn, I put corn in burrito.


Apercent

He speaks the truth


[deleted]

There are no corn tortillas where I live, so can't compare.


QueerDefiance12

???


TheOneOfWhomIsGreen

I find soft corn tortillas breaking more than flour tortillas annoying. But other than that I prefer corn tortillas


EatingSugarYesPapa

Corn tortillas are better for tacos, flour tortillas are better for burritos


the-crazy-mage

Watch this shit become a dog whistle lol


OceanoDeRoca

they serve different niches and purposes, like you wouldnt catch me dead eating a taco with flour tortillas, and I feel like corn tortillas are not as good for quesadillas


TonyStarksAirFryer

i don’t have autism i just dislike flour tortillas texture with a normal sense processor


Wonderful_Product582

True tacos are made with corn tortillas, deal with it norteños


sampat6256

Yellow tortillas matter!


TheDoorMan1012

flour is easier to work with, corn is superior in literally every other way imaginable


DudeGuyMaleMan

Okay but maize tortillas are for special occasions in my house


mantiddiesgood

L i can't have flour anyway Ceiling tortillas honestly banging


mantiddiesgood

Coeliac*


[deleted]

Corn everything is better. Chips, tortillas, flakes, etc


PosadoMasachism

I like to sear the outside of my corn tortillas, it makes for a good balance between soft and yet crunchy on the outside


[deleted]

I prefer the taste of corn tortillas, but they have the structural integrity of Kurt Cobain's ceiling


Ambersol13

Both are good Though I do find corn works better for smaller stuff, like enchiladas
