Just have to vent.

Researching recipes for enchiladas. I can't believe how many people think it is is acceptable to use flour tortillas.

Flour tortillas just make a gooey paste when you use them this way.

Even read one where the author said the only reason they used flour was that it is easier. I hate lazy cooks. Cook it right or don't do it at all.

Rant over.

I usually fix chimichangas (baked) or burritos and use whole wheat tortillas.

Choke on that Mexican blasphemy.

Flour tortillas rule. Totally empty calories, but totally delish.

I prefer flour tortillas as a rule, but unless you REALLY know what the frick you're doing, you're better off not using them for enchiladas.

Upvoted.

Flour tortillas are for yanks and rednecks who dont know any better. Corn tortillas or stay out of Texas. Enjoy your taco bell.

Corn tortillas taste truly awful.

But this is about the structural integrity of an enchilada. Greater good and all that jazz

In all seriousness I prefer corn tortillas, though my fiance has recently started making them from scratch and holy shite are they incredible.

Pretty sure I have never had any issue with flour tortillas and enchiladas, not that I fix that dish often. Carnitas are where its at for me.

Unless they are in enchilada form. In which they are the only proper choice.

First of all, go frick yourself.

Secondly, Tex-Mex isn't Mexican. It's Texan. It's better.

Thirdly, we'll eat what we want, when we want. Given that America is to the world as Texas is to America, Tex-Mex is apropos.

Fourthly, Tex-Mex is ALWAYS apropos.

Lastly, go frick yourself

Wrong. They're for people who want a food coma experience, and when I eat Mexican, I want a food coma experience.
