Are tortillas eaten by Mexicans more?

My Mexican housemate can't eat anything without her 2 tortillas. Mexican actors on TV soaps eat tortillas. Mexicans eat tortillas with their burritos, tacos, chimichangas etc... Are they eaten more in Mexico than in any other latin american country?

    Yes, by far. In fact, in most countries "tortilla" is a form of omelet. And as Mexican tortillas are a kind of bread (you eat bread often, don't you?), they're eaten often, kind of like lefse in Norway, bread in the UK and North America, and naan in India and Iran, injera in Ethiopia, and hundreds of other kinds of breads around the world.

    i'm no longer seeing the numbers to help your question. there are 310 million human beings and 112 million Mexicans. So if the sole variety you have is eighty 5 billion tortillas, i can't answer cogently. final I heard, there became considered one of those panic interior the corn industry by way of fact American farmers have been turning out to be corn for ethanol, thereby turning out to be a shortage interior the international corn markets for tortilla corn. This made fees upward thrust in Mexico. BTW, corn tortillas are fairly healthful for you. So if all human beings is eating extra corn, that is not completely a unfavourable adventure. And if human beings consume extra corn, that may no longer be an intentional ingredient- getting Mexicanized.

    Most likely but as someone who is not Mexican I love corn tortillas. I eat them all the time!

    Most likely, my family eats tortillas with every meal, either corn or flour, depending upon what's being served. Except on Thanksgiving!

    Yes, I'd imagine. My dad is Mexican & goes through insane amounts of torillas a week. He has to have them with every meal & I myself quite like them. My dad makes some bangin' breakfast burritos.
