Which do you prefer? Do you make your own? If so, How do you do it?

I always liked both but prefered flour. My wife only liked flour. I finally stumbled across a place that showed me how good corn tortillas can be. I learned how to make them like that and now my wife and I both prefer corn.

However, tonight's supper brought up a question. We are having Chicken Fajitas. They are normally served with flour tortillas. A Tex-Mex/Southwest thing I guess.

Which dishes should be made with which? Are they universally exchangeable or are there some that Absolutely have to use one or the other?

My answer is that even though I prefer corn tortillas now as they are the healthier choice, and are easier and quicker to make, I am making flour tortillas tonight. Lol

@Aaron Pankonin Thanks for the tips on corn tortillas. I make them pretty well now, but I will add in your recommended techniques and see how it goes.

@phatch and @kuan You both touched on the reason behind my new found love for corn tortillas. Freshness. I have found that they are they best right off the griddle. Once they are 1/2 hour to an hour old, I prefer flour again. I still like them, but it's not the same. I would compare it to a fresh baked chocolate chip cookie straight out of the oven vs a bag of Chips Ahoy. The chips ahoy are ok, but no comparison to a fresh one.
