For some reason I just can't get into corn tortillas. I've tried them several times in different applications and I always find them dry and almost tasteless. They gum up and are just plain nasty.

I've never made my own but have tried several different brands. Are there any good corn tortillas out there or should I continue to stick to flour?

corn tortillas are better than flour and it's really not even close

Make your own brah. Masa harina + lard + water

I hate them too, unless they're fried. I don't even like enchiladas because most use corn tortillas.

Not sure if there are ANY brands/types that I would actually like, because we were served freshly homemade ones when we were on our honeymoon in Mexico and I still hated them.

The vast majority of store bought tortillas, corn or flour, are fricking awful.


Make your own or find a Mexican bakery.

I prefer flour tortillas myself. Corn tortillas definitely pop out at you when you initially bite into them. Really the only problem I have with them is that they tend to give me heartburn.

I don't like corn tortillas at all. Flour FTW.

Guerrero corn tortillas are the best. My girlfriend lived in El Paso and swears by them. They are pretty damn good.
