Corn tortillas are superior. Flour tortillas were only invented because stupid gringos were getting sick of eating corn tortillas because they forgot the lime water step.
PHILADELPHIA
I cannot pick one/ Corn or flour I have won/ I love my torts! Yum!
NEW YORK
Corn tortillas come from the domain of the Aztec diosa, Chicomeco�tl. Has anyone heard of a goddess of flour? Flour tortillas are malnourished arepas. �Gu�cala!

Corn is native to the Americas, wheat is an import. Besides, corn masa wears out your teeth faster so you can replace them with gold.
EL PASO
Corn tortillas, because you can use them for more dishes--and, if you mess up when frying them, you can then use them as Frisbees.
