Baja tortilla sales plummetting
Sales are about half, story here.
Does essence predate existence?

Like me, maybe Mexicans are getting tired of eating tortillas, eh?
If given a choice of maize format, I would rather eat an arepa or cornbread….
Woke!

They need to find another one that looks like Jesus. Then the rush would be on!

Historically speaking, it appears the tortillas in moderation are healthier than the sodas, cheap pizzas and all the junk food.

Why not arepas or cornbread indeed. Tortillas are boring. I don't think they get tired, could be some ill-informed trend towards wheat and other
gluten breads. Hard to imagine a trend towards junk food like sodas and pizza these days, but those who eat it will keep eating.

What are currently being passed off as "tortillas", (Maseca cardboard), are indeed uninspiring.
If you've ever eaten the traditionally-made item (de maíz natural nixtamalizado)-- a rare find in Baja and nowdays scarce even on the
mainland-- you understand what I mean.
A stack of those with a bowl of beans and some chiles, used to be a go-to meal for a hungry campesino.
We can thank Salinas de Gortari for ruining that.

Just a couple of trips ago I stopped for lunch at a shoreline restaurant, which I think was La Poma, north of Gonzaga. They were making and serving
their own tortillas, and they were a treat!
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
