With more people living in urban areas, and some with more money, Mexicans are eating more and exercising less. Forgoing the beans, tortillas, fruit and vegetables their grandparents ate, people flock to U.S.-style fast food.
Comments (0) Best Tortillas - 2011
Carolina's
Carolina's sets the standard for flour tortillas in the Valley. In a land where Mexican food is found on every corner, we use these giant, tender 'tillas as the baseline for excellence. It's really not fair to the competitors. Carolina's has won "Best Tortillas" more times than we can recall, and with good reason. The tortillas are made in-house and roll off the grill warm and tender. These formidable flour discs somehow manage to be so thin they're almost transparent, yet they hold up to even the sloppiest green chile filling, so you don't end up wearing the contents of your burrito. The flavor and tender texture is amazing solo, dipped, topped, or crisped. The reigning champ retains her title.

About 70 percent of Mexican adults are now overweight, according to government estimates, more than triple the number of three decades ago. Also, about a third of the country's schoolchildren and teenagers are overweight, making Mexicans the second-heaviest people on the planet, gaining quickly on their American neighbors.

Though still afflicted by large pockets of the malnourished poor, Mexico is fat and quickly getting fatter, its children gaining weight faster than anyone else in the country.
These Tortillas that Carolina's makes are OK, but where are the real 14" thicker Burrito type???? Any Mexican baker in Tucson sells both types... Thick and Thin.. just like pizza crusts at most pizzerias. Why wont the grocery stores sell anything else but the mass produced, baking power fluff stuff?
