Which tortilla should I use? Flour or Corn?
This all depends on what you like. Corn tortillas are going to be lower in carbs and gluten free, but they’re not going to be as soft as flour tortillas.
Flour tortillas tend to be soft and flexible and are a great addition to almost any type of recipe. My suggestion? Try to make the recipes both ways and see which one you like better!
