That's because they are not Mexicans. My local Mexican joint is mostly staffed by central Americans of questionable legal status. They are nice people though. I know of an Italian restaurant that is owned and ran by Mexicans. That cracks me up, for some reason. Food there is ok, but not great. |

Corn tends to be the preference of people from most regions of mexico. Most of the people I've seen who use flour are from northwest mexico like my grandparents.
Some of the flour tortillas are so large, they call them tortillas de sobaco or tortillas sobaqueras because they reach from the wrist to the armpit. Home made corn and flour are both delicious, but tacos made from flour tortillas are  out of

Mexican food is American.
Like pizza and hamburgers. There's no "authenticity," just regional preferences. |

When I was younger, I took deliveries from our farm down to to Chicago and Milwaukee. There are areas in both cities where it's almost entirely Mexican, over some very large areas, and there are some great restaurants in those neighborhoods. Really cheap, too. And many other large cities have similar neighborhoods. |

Most of the Mexican joints around here offer your choice of Flour or Corn... Or if they don't offer them, they'll have'em if you ask...
I myself like the corn, but I'll tear up some regular flower ones just as well... I love me some Fajita's.... I also, love me some Tomilito (not Tomitio like the Mexican tomato)or ""Corn Cakes"... I think I like corn anyway you can make it.. |

Real authentic tacos are corn tortillas, usually doubled up. At least that's what my Mexican BIL makes. That is an excellent idea. I am allergic to wheat so I use the corn tortilla shells. The soft ones always break apart and make a mess. I will try doubling them up next time. |

I grew up with the corn ones so I prefer them. Burritos get flour pretty much everything else Iike the corn flavor.
I don't even like corn or flour soft tacos. i want crispy corn shells. For a dinner steak or something like that little flour ones are ok for mopping up the juices and such. |

Get a shallow pan and fill it with about an inch of oil. Fry and lay on paper towels to soak up the oil. That's the way to do it. |

You must not have had a fried one. Not fried is still good, but fried is awesome. The smell makes me want to puke.
The smell of frying corn tortillas is wonderful. As for tacos, fresh fried corn tortillas beat the hell out of "taco shells". Corn tortillas for enchiladas, flour tortillas for burritos. Stuffed sopapillas are popular up in the mtns here, smothered in green chile. What a chimichanga wishes it was.

Not quite Mexican food but one of the best uses I found for corn tortillas. I like to cut corn tortillas into bite size pieces and fry them until crispy in a shallow pan of oil. I dry them on a paper towel for a minute to soak up the oil and then put them back into a hot pan and scramble some eggs with them. My wife likes shredded cheese on hers. They call it migas (mee gahs) around here. |

Flour tortillas are a lot better than corn ones, and Mexican make those too. They are best home made. I love home made tortillas. However, when eating store bought flour tortillas, I always heat them up on a piping hot griddle and never in the microwave. It makes a world of a difference. |

Corn is supposed to be healthier. For some reason, flour is tearing up my digestive system, so I've been eating a ton of corn. Heat it in a skillet with butter, then make your stuff with it or eat it hot.
