      What’s wild is that tortillas are so varied, Mexicans eat very thin yellow corn, Central Americans like white corn and make them thick, and South Americans just go full anarchy and make em extra fat and call them arepas.

      Im partial to the Central American think ones, and if you fill em with cheese and meat you got pupusas

        Do not call my arepas fat tortillas. They are separate foodstuffs though composed of the same ingredients.

      Tortillas are pancakes

      The word tortilla is derived from the Spanish word torta, meaning roughly ‘cake’ or ‘pie’, plus the diminutive suffix -illa; therefore tortilla can be translated as ‘little cake’.

      If flatbread then maybe tacos are pizza.

      Flour tortillas are definitely flatbread.

      Corn tortilla… I’m not sure. I really just don’t know, but I’d still consider a taco to be a sandwich.
