Refined carbs? Have you seen corn tortillas being made, south of Monterrey? We are not talking Bimbo bread here. Some tortillas have been made the same, simple way since 500 AD. How do you think the laborers built the pyramids, and how do they subsist now? It is not as if they were eating Pinguinos. They cannot, like Moctezuma, eat honey and cacao.

Man I love me some tortillas.

Tortillas are like silverware, or bowls or plates, but tastier.

Sure, I like tortillas, a lot with some meals. But really, I can't and won't eat them every day. They get boring. If given a choice between good whole wheat bread for every meal and tortillas, I'd take the bread.

In response to the initial question, not particularly. I sometimes tell the waiters not to bother bringing them over to my table, but occasionally it does result in my not getting the harina tortillas which I do like very much.
Tortillas could be worse, they could be grits.

I don't like tortillas unless they are filled with something tasty like carnitas or smothered in butter and honey.

I just made a late-night snack of a flour tortilla filled with sauteed onions and queso de Oaxaca and fried till lightly brown and puffy in a touch of oil. Yummm!
