Common Questions
Can I substitute sizes?
Yes, but it changes the eating experience. Using a smaller tortilla means less filling or multiple tacos. Using a larger tortilla makes it harder to eat handheld. Stick to recommended sizes for best results.
Are corn and flour tortillas the same size?
Not usually. Corn tortillas are typically 5-6 inches, while flour tortillas range from 6-12 inches. Corn tortillas are smaller because the dough is less elastic and harder to roll thin in large sizes.
Why do street tacos use two small tortillas?
Doubling up provides structural integrity—the tortilla won't tear from the weight and moisture of the fillings. It's also traditional in Mexican street food culture. Plus, you get more of that delicious tortilla flavor!
What size tortilla is best for tacos?
6-inch tortillas are perfect for street-style tacos. Use 8-inch flour tortillas for larger American-style tacos. For authentic street tacos, double up two 6-inch corn tortillas per taco for structural integrity.
What size tortilla do I need for burritos?
Use 10-inch or 12-inch flour tortillas for burritos. These "burrito-size" tortillas are large enough to hold generous fillings and still fold completely closed. 10-inch works for standard burritos, while 12-inch is best for fully-loaded burritos.
Can you use any size tortilla for quesadillas?
8-inch or 10-inch flour tortillas work best for quesadillas. They provide enough surface area for cheese and fillings while still being manageable to flip. Smaller sizes work for appetizers, larger for meal-sized quesadillas.
