[–] deepfriedchril@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago (3 children) Gonna need an explanation on the tortillas. Wikipedia says flatbread. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 6 points 10 months ago 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. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 5 points 10 months ago 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. permalink fedilink source parent [–] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 child) 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 permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] kemsat@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago Do not call my arepas fat tortillas.
