I almost didn’t watch b/c I know the answer to best corn tortillas is “none!” Luckily nothing else in my feed looked interesting and I was bored. And hungry.
Yeah. Flour is a way of preparing grain and corn is a type of grain. But… ‘corn’ is just the staple grain for a society… so corn is wheat in Europe, maize in precolumbian America, millet in parts of Africa and so on…
@@Ric-Phillips Technically you're right, but when the subject is tortillas, we all know what is meant by "flour" versus "corn" tortillas. They screwed up, and your attempt to rehabilitate their mistake means abso-effin- lutely nothing. Were there no grammar mistakes in the responses upon which you could focus your pettiness?
Guerrero on the east coast isn't the same. They're made way thicker with a recipe that's clearly designed more for shelf life than flavor. Same for all of the ones that they have up there though.
HEB Butter Flour Tortillas are made fresh in the store every day. You can watch the being made. When they run out, wait till the next day. They don’t keep unless you refrigerate or freeze. Microwaved with butter is my favorite.
I'm with Bridget. Old El Paso flour tortillas taste, well, mass produced to me, like something I'd get from a vending machine. Of the brands I can get locally I prefer Mission. But now I'm thinking I could make a fortune marketing vending machines that sell pulled pork wraps.
Someone screwed up royally when he/she titled this taste test. Next, I will see ATK nominating a Victorinox chef's knife as best-tasting canned mushrooms.
I don’t really like soft corn tortillas and I don’t know why. So I was also hoping to learn about corn tortillas and whether I just picked the wrong brand. Oh well maybe next time.
The best tasting grocery store flour tortillas are Tortilla Land ( uncooked ) flour tortillas in the refrigerated section . Only takes a minute to cook them , on a cast iron skillet is best .
Try Mama Lycha brand tortillas - they are frozen white corn tortillas that are made in the original style (Salvadoran) and taste nothing like that knock off Mexican stuff
Yes, I agree. The reason they taste better is because they don't have the long list of preservatives found in most other store-bought tortillas (cooked and uncooked). I prefer making my own, but when I'm short on time, the Tortilla Land Brand is a good substitute.
I’m from Mexico... I know what corn and flour tortillas should taste like. From generations of experience, I can compare homemade to store bought. You missed it! First of all, you’re not cooking the flour tortillas enough. They look raw from the package. If you cook them long enough it brings out the flavors! Guerrero is definitely the best of all those brands. They need to be cooked long enough to allow for some browning and steam puffing in center of tortillas! This truly brings out the flavor! Your Mexican segments of cooking are off, just saying! You need a person that has experience in that genre of cooking to present the real facts, call me if interested, Caucasians are not experts in Mexican cuisine, bring a Latin person to the show 😀 otherwise, your show is great!
@@satchrocks Not the commenter, and not from Mexico though I've spent some time pretty far off grid down there, but I agree with everything they said. Of US supermarket brands you can get most places Guerrero taste right to me. I like the corn tortillas both, perhaps the white a touch more than the yellow. A supermarket tortilla can never really rival the same thing as a fresh made one, but what you're looking for is just the combination of puffing up and a little leopard spotting. I honestly cringe at the above ATK video. It's not like Mission are horrible but... good is not a word that leaps to mind vs... adequate.
Right…. Being Mexican makes you innately superior tasting tortillas. Lol. Salvadoran here: there’s more than one way to cook a tortilla, home made or store made are fine.
But your tortillas are not real traditional tortillas - real corn tortillas should be made by hand and thick like a pancake yet still moist on the inside while browned on the outside. In others words the traditional and original Salvadoran style.
@@cxa340 the ones at the store are better. I don’t want a thick tortilla just because it’s “traditional”, thinner, lower calories ones that you don’t have to make are superior.
@@sandrah7512 Are you representing the channel? If so, please have them correct the title. We all know that these are old clips from the show, that's fine, but get it right, corn, not flour.
Coming from a small town in Central California our family has liked Guerreros tortillas since they started out in the even smaller town of Farmersville. One of the members of their family had kidney problems. Kidney problems means having to watch one's sodium intake. My Mom had kidney illness along with diabetes which meant having to also watch carbs. She didn't eat tortillas daily as many Hispanics do so did pretty well. When tasting Mexican food it should be a rule, if the rice isn't mushy, boiled beans are aren't mushy or hard then the rest of the food should be good with regional differences included. When it comes to flour tortillas they should be round either by rolling them out or stretching them out by hand and if you want to taste test them you taste them warm preferably with a little mantquilla that's butter to you. Your first choice winner can't hold a candle to Guerreros warm or cold. They make several sizes and several styles including a type you should also have taste tested. That's the new type of tortilla put out by several companies, the par cooked that requires the cook to finish it in their comal(griddle). Maybe next time you might try picking the winners of this type tortilla.
One last comment . Since I only by Guerreros I never look at other brands so I never noticed that a new change has come to some of the other brands they now say SOFT. Another hint either because one has decided to go on a Keto diet or watching carbs because of diabetes taste test the new Keto tortillas and this time serve them warm wrapped around some Jack or mozzarella cheese.
the flour tortillas at stores have a terrible odor; at least they smell nothing like a homemade flour tortilla. I presume it’s the dough conditioners that change the taste. A great homemade tortilla can taste amazing just on its own!
Best tortillas are local to Chicago: El Milagro. Both corn and flour. The corn tortillas are made with three ingredients, very pure. The flour tortillas have four ingredients and puff up like flying saucers when you heat them up ... just like my grandmother's. In addition, they have corn chips, very lightly salted and strong enough for nachos. They also have tostada's packages in one and two dozen packs. Great products.
I buy flour tortillas at my local Hispanic food store usually. They make them in-house. But if i buy tortillas from the store, I like Don Pancho. I really like their corn/flour blend tortillas. They come in soft taco size and they're delicious!
You'll want to use a silicone mat, to steam it in the microwave. You can get Chipotle level flexibility and stretch with Los Banditas tortillas. It's easily the best tool for the job in a home kitchen. You want to add water to the outside and shake them off before rolling the mat up, and putting it in the microwave. It's best to have something else in the microwave to have it unroll towards, so it can stay rolled up.
wow! thanks for response...wasn't expecting that:) i have experience with Guerrero flour tortillas mostly, but the corn is also pretty good. although Guerrero flour tortillas look raw, they are technically not "raw" due to some preservatives, but overall a great store-bough tortilla. i think people shy away from purchasing them because they look "raw". in order to bring out the best flavor of the flour tortilla, you have to cook them long enough on both sides where the tortilla will rise and create some steam between the layers. be sure to use a "comal" (or griddle) or good non-stick pan.... a few brown spots on either side and the tortilla is ready! as you know, heat brings out the flavors! there's another brand even better! not sure if it's availabe in your neck of the woods. brand is "la abuela" (translates to "grandmother")...they are in refrigerated section of most wal-marts and other selected stores. you can find them near the mexican creams and cheeses of store. anyway, i appreciate the opportunity to share my tortilla experience. if you ever need a "mexican" co-host, i'm available. love your show!!!!
My personal favorite has always been La Banderita and I actually dislike the Mission brand. La Banderita always seems sweeter, buttery and doughy which I really enjoy. I often eat them plain right out of the bag. To each their own though.
Coconut oil, said no Mexican ever 😂 but I’m going try it out on my hubby. I bet it’d be really good as the tostada to ceviche that burgeons on poisson cru. Mmm 😋 Thanks for the tip.
Del Barrio tortillas at Dollar Tree are some of the best prepackaged tortillas I've had. Heat them up over a flame and they taste really good. Their corn tortillas are pretty good too and soft enough to fold without breaking.
Well, I was reading through the comments, and I'm glad I switched to the "most recent". I also shop at Dollar Tree for some food items, but haven't tried their tortillas. I will. I do buy many of the Goya products they carry. Thanks for the tip.
A couple of times I bought corn tortillas there which were sour tasting. Idk if someone got heavy handed with the lime or what. Now I stick to El Milagro. No surprises.
These are the worst tasting ones - they literally taste like you are eating bread and are way too thick. Get them freshly made from a Mexican market (or make them at home).
The dough conditioner was the main interest in this video. My wife & daughters often make fresh tortillas when we have the need. None of us care for store bought. They have a chemical taste that we dislike. It is likely the conditioner. Thank you
@@josephhalderman Dear Joey; there are several and different recipes. These are the proportions: For 11-12 tortillas about 5-6 inches diameter 1. Multipurpose wheat Flour = 3 cups about 375grs. 2. Lard = half of cup 3. Baking Powder (Royal Crown) = half of tea spoon. 4. Salt = one tea spoon or a pinch. 5. Hot water = 3/4 to 1 cup And the preparation is rolled them not press. Hopefully this will help you!
Maybe half of the comments should forget about the actual video contents and be people whining about flour NOT corn in the title...oh nevermind, the whining is out in full force
@@lindac7146 I'm huge fan of El milagro. But burritos don't use corn tortillas is what I'm getting at. There is a place for flour tortillas like quesadillas, burritos, also shrimp and fish tacos mainly use flour tortillas. I will 99% get tacos on corn tortillas (with cilantro and onions)
@@thelunatick1993 Try La Burrita corn tortillas, they're gluten free and come in "El Grande" larger size. (not as big as flour burrito size, but bigger than taco size).
Yes, the title is a little bit misleading. None of those brands would rank in Texas but I can sympathize with the Yankees who have three national brands to pick from. Here in North Texas I can go across the train tracks and suddenly I'm transported to Ole Mexico and have many local brands of fresh flour tortillas to choose from. Yep, I'm spoiled.
I am lucky to live in Chicago which has a big Mexican community and so we can get great tortillas that are produced locally and are always fresh and have no preservatives to speak of.
This tasting of corn(?) tortillas is almost as helpful as the recent testing and recommendation of a discontinued, unavailable vacuum sealer! Way to go, ATK. Who's running this joint, anyway?
Sorry, but after years of trying all these tortillas I have selected El Bandarita tortillas as my go to choice. Enchilada's, Quesadilla's that stay together and taste great. Available at Sam's it is a great bargain, too.
I am more than reasonably certain that this is a northern test group audience. I can assure you that if it were conducted in a border state such as Texas, where I am, the top two out of the samples pictured would be Guerrero or La Banderita...and likely Guerrero 1st. The top 3 would not make the grade around here for something approaching authenticity(texture, flavor, etc)
Well if you came here looking for quality corn tortillas, go with Milagro. It might be a Midwestern brand. Was recommended by a Mexican grocery store owner and the proof was families taking them home by the box.
We make fresh tortillas every week when we have beans - simple recipe of masa, salt, water, oil your hands, oil the camal, form each tortilla so that it is round and thick like a pancake, and cook on the camal until brown on the outside - this would be the authentic and traditional way to make a corn tortilla and you should end up with a thick small pancake like tortilla.
Whether corn or flour, they pretty much all taste OK straight out of the package, but a bit of toasting or additional cooking fully develops their flavorr. Makes them more digestible too Same is true for slices of yeast bread .
I wonder if there are different preferences for different applications. For example, the one that makes the best quesadillas might not be the one that makes the best burritos. Burritos and flautas are probably the standard.
well if your grocery store has a decent hispanic/mexican section in the refrigerated area walk to there first. This is usually where the mexican cheese is and fresh salsa. Sometimes the operators are smart enough to also carry tortillas that are made with beef tallow. these are very thin but strong tortillas. They must be kept refrigerated. those are the best flour tortillas you can get. my store carries la abuela
I still need to know what the best CORN tortillas are. I recently tried making taquitos and it was a HUGE FAIL! The tortillas, even when heated with a moist paper towel fell apart when I tried rolling them. Those that survived rolling, broke up when I tried freezing them before frying.
Tortillas that are make with white corn, doesn't do well with taquitos. Use yellow corn, first warm the tortilla then roll with fillings. Make sure use small amount of filling in order to roll the tortilla then fry.
New job posting at ATK. Wanted: Editor. No experience necessary. Must know the difference between wheat and corn. I live in central Texas. The best supermarket flour tortillas are HEB.

@@msoperator510 oh, I didn’t know they were from the same company, they’re so different

Title: CORN TORTILLAS
Content: FLOUR TORTILLAS
Or am I really high right now?
Well if you came here looking for quality corn tortillas, go with Milagro. It might be a Midwestern brand. Was recommended by a Mexican grocery store owner and the proof was families taking them home by the box.
Mission and Guerrero are the best.
Geurrero tortillas are my favorite, both corn and flour
Thanks
Folks, the link in the description is to the corn tortilla test. Someone just uploaded the wrong video to TH-cam.
Thank you Dave. I'm a Dave. Dave's are great people. Smart too.
My favorite is El Milagro. Which is Spanish for The Milagro.
It appears this may be titled incorrectly as the tortillas tested were not corn tortillas.
I love jack and his interplay with the ladies. he surely has a twinkle in his eyes and beautiful smile. he makes these segments so entertaining.
He is very knowledgeable.
We make fresh tortillas every week when we have beans - simple recipe of masa, salt, water, oil your hands, oil the camal, form each tortilla so that it is round and thick like a pancake, and cook on the camal until brown on the outside - this would be the authentic and traditional way to make a corn tortilla and you should end up with a thick small pancake like tortilla.
What's the average expiration date when the tortillas are stored at room temperature or in the pantry?.
These are flour tortillas and you didn't even mention the Guerrero, which are the ones I always get because they are so fluffy and smooth.
Make them at home! Soooo much better! But my people are everywhere. Find a place that makes them fresh daily! You can’t beat it!
The ones at the tortilla station in Soriana are the best. Also, look for manteca de cerdo on the ingredient list. Emeril was right on this one.
My household prefers Mission Tortilla too!
Luckily i can buy fresh at the mexican markers
Like highlighters?!?
@@guygamer732 haha.
I live in San Diego. I NEVER buy tortillas in the supermarket. I go to the carniceria.
Whether corn or flour, they pretty much all taste OK straight out of the package, but a bit of toasting or additional cooking fully develops their flavorr. Makes them more digestible too Same is true for slices of yeast bread .
Lol ahh no
@@trelmix1 .....don't just disagree and then move on.....explain your reasoning for saying no.
I make my own and l use “Masa Harina” it’s Corn Flour mixed with Lime.
But flour are much more difficult to make.
i finally found this show on youtube
I like the Mission tortillas, because that’s what they have at Costco.
Rookie mistake, ya’ll. Flour, not freaking corn.
I like the mission brand also
The idea that neither La Banderita nor Guerrero made it further surprises me.
The best flour tortillas are uncooked. The next best I have found are some organic brands. The taste is just better.
Well, I'm waiting? What's the best CORN tortilla?
"This just gets better!" LOL!
It's funny to think some people buy tortillas based on taste. I just look lowest net carb and hope for the best.
The absolute best are made by Fresca. They are refrigerated raw flour tortillas so you make them fresh.
Where do you go to buy them?
TortillaLand brand is my favorite for flour tortillas and the closest to homemade, in my opinion.
I will buy the locally made ones all the time flour or corn.
If you in Chicago try El Milagro
And the restaurant is the best
Can watch the episode Chicago's Best TV
Not only is the title wrong, it’s also a re-post of the same video.
I wonder if there are different preferences for different applications. For example, the one that makes the best quesadillas might not be the one that makes the best burritos. Burritos and flautas are probably the standard.
man, I was really hoping to find a corn torilla i might like XD
well if your grocery store has a decent hispanic/mexican section in the refrigerated area walk to there first. This is usually where the mexican cheese is and fresh salsa. Sometimes the operators are smart enough to also carry tortillas that are made with beef tallow. these are very thin but strong tortillas. They must be kept refrigerated. those are the best flour tortillas you can get. my store carries la abuela
I still need to know what the best CORN tortillas are. I recently tried making taquitos and it was a HUGE FAIL! The tortillas, even when heated with a moist paper towel fell apart when I tried rolling them. Those that survived rolling, broke up when I tried freezing them before frying.
Tortillas that are make with white corn, doesn't do well with taquitos. Use yellow corn, first warm the tortilla then roll with fillings. Make sure use small amount of filling in order to roll the tortilla then fry.
New job posting at ATK. Wanted: Editor. No experience necessary. Must know the difference between wheat and corn.
I live in central Texas. The best supermarket flour tortillas are HEB.
