Most Mexicans use tortillas made from corn meal rather than from wheat flour.

The maximum price per kilo of corn tortillas is set by federal law, as are other basic staple foods. So corn tortillas are much cheaper than wheat tortillas.

Corn tortillas are thicker, less flexible, and have a higher fiber content.
