flour for burrito and corn for tacos

I agree, the flour is better for burritos and corn tortillas are better for tacos.

I just did a side by side comparison in the nutritional value between the two...and I am surprised that corn is healthier overall. There is more protein in flour tortillas, and more calories. Corn has less calories, fat, carbs, and ingredients overall.

corn for enchiladas and flour for suizas
i don't know which to use for entomatadas, though. :-(

>>6065198
If you can make them fresh, always do that. They are fucking incredible.

Corn are good fried, too. Unhealthy and greasy as fuck, but jeez they delicious

>>6065265
Since when is more protein unhealthy...?

>>6065276
If you weren't so quick to be a little ninny...look how it reads. The first two qualities are MORE in corn tortillas. More protein, more calories. The last four qualities have LESS calories, fat, carbs and ingredients. No on said the protein is less healthy. I stated what makes corn more healthy as a whole.

You people that things so literally online need better social skills...you can practice on real people if you get off the internet, ya know.

I believe you mean "fewer" calories rather than "less", broski.

>>6065389
Either is correct, you misfired clot of jism.

>>6065198
I don't mind corn but flour always taste better.

Good flour tortillas: Good for burritos
Good corn tortillas: Good for tacos or whatever else
Shit corn tortillas: Good for tacos if you fry them in a pan first or soups or something
Shit flour tortillas: Good for the trash can

Only way I can stand corn is in an enchilada. Flour all the way (across the sky)

>>6065272
Se usan tortillas de maiz.

Is it even possible to make burritos with corn tortillas?

From my experience, they do not stick very well.

Corn all the way til' Sunday...

In fact, I always chuckle when I'm asked which I want at a Mexican restaurant. Why would I eat carnitas with a flour tortilla?

Legends tell of a hybrid tortilla that combines the strengths of both and possesses the weaknesses of neither.

>>6065198
/b faggots having a go at us?

bye!

Corn tortillas for beef fajitas with lime.
Flour tortillas for chicken fajitas with cheese.

Everyone shut the fuck up, I'm right and you are wrong.

Corn for authentic Mexican food, flour for Tex-Mex.

It's called Sex Panther by Odeon. It's made with bits of real panther, so you know it's good. They've done studies, you know. Sixty percent of the time, it works every time.

It's double authentic Mexican, now with 30% more chopped heads.

>>6066096
Take that sacrilegious nonsense elsewhere!

I said good day, sir!

>>6066096

I use high-fiber, high-protein, low-carb wheat tortillas.

>>6066121
wrong homie, I live in Mexico and can tell you that both have thier place. You can walk for one km. down the street in my town and pass at leat two of each kind of tortillarias

>>6065198
corn with soups and stews, wet filling tacos, enchiladas and chilaquilles,
Flour for carne asada tacos, quesadillas, burros and eggs, or just plain with coffee.
>>6065265
Flour tortillas have lard or shortening, corn do not. Flour is basically unleavened bisquit dough rolled or pressed flat. corn is ground hominy, water and salt, thats it.

>not chamorro coconut titiyas
I guess it wouldn't be a fair fight to include them. Corn and flour tortillas v coconut titiyas would be like a pair of FDRs going against Michael Phelps at swimming.

>>6066611
>titiyas

>>6066794
srsly
Really good, though they're technically flour tortillas, just made with coconut cream instead of lard and water.

>>6065198
Corn has nearly 1/3rd the calories.

>>6065385
>There is more protein in flour tortillas

Depends. A good corn tortilla is godly, but flour tortillas are consistently good.

>>6065273
>Not frying flour tortillas and making buñuelos.

Flour for burritos and corn for tacos, chips, and enchiladas.

now I'm hungry

daily reminder that a burrito is a genre of taco.I'm talking about the Mexican burritos though

>>6068101
all mexican food is the same. Burritos, Tacos, and Quesadillas are the same things. Taco meat, cheese, lettuce, spices, all in a tortilla.

>>6068113
Those are just antojitos. One part of Mexican food.It gets more complicated after that. You have your cooking techniques which is pibil/al pastor/barbacoa/tix n xic and with the sauces you have mole/ molito/ adobo/ pipian / salsa etc etc

>>6068055
well said. my mom was English but was in central america then Mexico.different things tor different results.chicken empenadas = flour. beef or carnitas = corn corn "flap jacks" are good with molasses or honey. wheat with mayple syrup.beans are good anytime. no rules. Except one.maybe two. as an officer of the court, I will protect any Mexican citizens and dissuade any poachers. 2. tercate beer sucks

>lettuce
>in a taco or burrito

>>6065198
nothing to discuss
those of flour are inferior

>>6066096
I'm pretty sure that's against the bible or something. Just like wearing wool and linen together.

>>6068113
>lettuce
Enjoy your shit texture friend

>bologna vs pringles

You are projecting hard here. If someone asks a four word question and you sperg out all over them like that, you are the one that needs to practice social skills and get the fuck off the net.

mexican-american here

flour tortilla is a northen mexico thing only. go to mexico city (any central area) and ask for a flour taco/burrito and they'll be "wat". That said they have their places. I myself prefer to have carne asada on a flour tortilla. But I prefer to have carnitas, al pastor and barbacoa on corn.

Nutrition wise, corn would be the way to go without a doubt. traditional four tortillas are made with lard or shortening and white flour. corn is whole grain maize, salt, and maybe a bit of lime.

>>6065272
my fucking roommate uses flour in his enchiladas and then microwaves it.

>>6068698
The microwaving is pure savagery, but I use flour for my enchiladas too, they're just easier to work with, it's less of a hassle. I use corn for tacos, chorizo and eggs

It is hard to find fajita sized flour tortillas, though.

>>6068652
the lime is hydrated lime, not the citrus fruit. It is used to plump the corn ( nixtamalization , or convert it into hominy ) . It is then rinsed well.

>>6068652
> go to mexico city (any central area) and ask for a flour taco/burrito and they'll be "wat"

I call BS, Burros are made with flour tortillas even in DF.

>>6068852
Mexico city much like NY.NY you can find any shitpile and a silly buyer of said shitpile
Fact remains flour is not a regular thing south of Jalisco/Sinaloa/Veracruz even that far south it is a restaurant/tourist thing always

>>6065198
Not being a big fan of burritos, fajitas or quesadillas I don't have much use for flour tortillas. So for me it's corn by default.

Most soft corn tortillas taste like ass though. They also tend not to hold together as well as wheat flour.

flautas/taquitos taste better with flour tortillas as well.

>>6069531
In 20 plus years I never ate a good corn tortilla while living in AZ. In Mexico I discovered the wonder that is a fresh corn tortilla. 10 minutes after they are made they go from amazing to meh. Factory corn tortillas are awful.

>>6071187

Most mexicans eat factory corn tortillas, silly. The difference is they are not complete retards about it and actually warm them up, which makes them more resilient.

Unless you were in some mountain village where older people don't even speak spanish, if you ate a tortilla in mexico it was probably from a factory, same as here.

>>6068257
my laugh of the day such great people, such great food, not to mention the fine looking people and values. if I want Anglo i'd change. we are what we are. a good thing. gives us something to aspire to. we can all be better truth l betold I like all eqatorial and any northern food. eat less move more ho ho hum. adjost your feed. only you can do it good stuff.portion control.bigger is not always better

>>6068567
wow you're mad as fuck that you have no reading comprehension

>>6066532
some corn tortillas have xantham gum and other shit tho

>>6066096

I go through a pack of these things so fast... Truly the best tortilla.

That being said, corn tortillas make the best tacos.

Burrito: flour all the way
Taco:
>soft: flour
>hard: corn

>>6065198
Both are dogshit tier ruined versions of the eternally based pita bread.

So I choose pita and not these bastard wannabes made by brown people.

>>6072044
Mexicans uses pita bread as well, and their filling is superior to the greek and arab version
