The crunchy/soft distinction is a misstep. <br /><br />When you order corn tortillas with your taco at my favorite stand, La Tapatia, they double them. Also, they put a little potato and onion in the meat (if you order beef, which is called picadillo). It's good stuff.Aaron DaMommiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16065877179875338395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16462573.post-1122415640991727352009-08-21T17:24:19.356-05:002009-08-21T17:24:19.356-05:00Hmmm.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...Hmmm.<br /><br />Reading this:<br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burrito<br /><br />and this:<br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taco<br /><br />I'm not sure what the hell the difference is between a "soft taco" and a burrito. If a taco is "a corn or wheat tortilla folded or rolled around a filling" and a burrito is "a flour tortilla wrapped or folded around a filling" as these definitions state, then the only potential difference is that a corn tortilla technically makes a taco? <br /><br />I'm going to stick with tacos being crunchy and burritos being soft, because "soft taco" is an oxymoron to me.Doug Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05554340882842070748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16462573.post-25317371757907715702009-08-20T21:53:45.595-05:002009-08-20T21:53:45.595-05:00Are you contesting my taco knowledge? 90% of the t...Are you contesting my taco knowledge? 90% of the tacos I eat have soft tortilla shells.Aaron DaMommiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16065877179875338395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16462573.post-21685888793347147482009-08-20T20:05:38.393-05:002009-08-20T20:05:38.393-05:00Isn't that technically a spaghetti burrito?
