I'm a bad person, I know, because I like flour tortillas better than corn ones. There are definitely dishes in which corn tortillas work better (enchiladas, for example), but I just have an affinity for flour. It probably has to do with the big family meals we ate when I was a kid. My abuelita would make huge meals of pork tacos and fideos and tostadas and refried beans. We always used flour tortillas, albeit store-bought, so that probably set the standard for me.
Then, when I was in fifth and sixth grade, my dad worked for Michelin, and they sent him (and by extension the whole family) to France, where we lived for a year and half. It would have been cool if I'd been a little older and a lot less sheltered, but there were some good things about it, for sure. But a major disadvantage was that you couldn't get Mexican food anywhere. So my mom would make do with what we could find, but she ended up making her own flour tortillas, and they were delicious, so much better than store-bought. I'd never tried to make my own until just a couple of weeks ago, but they're so easy that I've been making them all the time. There's really nothing simpler or better than fresh flour tortillas. Check this shit out.
