With the amount of white people I've seen eat a corn tortilla and complain, you'd almost think this is satirically produced

    Corn tortillas are superior to flour in every way

    As a half Mexican who grew up with my Mexican family, spent a lot of time in Mexico, and has celiac disease (meaning I cant eat flour), I actually disagree. It makes me sad that I cant eat flour tortillas anymore - especially because my grandma's home made flour tortillas were the fucking bomb.

    That being said, street tacos only belong on corn.

    Can't make a burrito with a corn tortilla. Otherwise, solid insight.

    wouldn’t it be easier to deny burritos are food, block everyone who disagrees with you, change your name to “BurritosDontExist” and make this an intrinsic part of your personality than to admit you… forgot about something on the internet?

    Why not? Genuine question, I've never made burritos.

    You have to fold the ends of a burrito tortilla in to seal the filling. It's a sharp fold that corn tortillas just can't do. Burrito tortillas are often 12"/30cm or more, and I feel like corn tortillas aren't strong enough for that (never tried, but also never seen them for sale).

    Ah okay, that makes sense. Personally when I do something with tortillas, I just fold one end and keep one open. Idk if the exact shape has a name, it's easy and I mostly care about the stuff inside rather than the (admittedly clumsy) shape.

    I should start doing burritos though. Seems like I'd spill less stuff out while eating.
