Corn vs. Flour Tortilla

This one is easy for me: CORN!  I have a few reasons why:

1.) I dated a mexican for 2 years.  If there is anything he taught me, he taught me how to make hell-uv good tacos, and he taught me that when making mexican food you always get the MAIZE tortilla if you want authentic taste.

2.)  It is cheaper.  Corn tortillas are always cheaper then the flour ones.  I mean crazy cheaper.  You can get a pack of 10 corn tortillas for like .49 at some stores while flour tortillas cost $2-3.00.  This seems like a no-brainer to me.  Now I will say, cheaper isn't always better in a grocery store.  There are certain items that really should be purchased Natural/Organic, but save some money with this one.

3.)  Always read the ingredients on the back of your food.  When you look at the back of a corn tortilla package, it lists: Corn, Lime, Salt, Water.  This is great! 4 ingredients that you can read and understand.  I dare you to look at the back of a flour tortilla package to see the same thing.  When picking food, we really want to aim for "less is more"/"simple is better."  The less ingredients that are made to process the food means the less the digestive tract has to break down of these processed foods.  What will make you thin?  Eating foods the body can identify and easily break down. 

Now one thing that people may say is a reason for buying flour are the enriched grams of fiber that are put in.  I would say don't worry about the fiber content of the tortilla, that is what the beans are for.  : )
