It might be comforting to learn you are not alone in your pondering. Street tacos from a taco truck or taqueria are generally served on soft, warm corn tortillas, about the size of your hand, with two of these tortillas being standard practice, especially in Mexico (via Westword ).

You may have noticed your taco is often over-filled, and some of the yummy meats, veggies, and sauce inevitable fall or drip off on your plate or paper wrapping. You can use the second tortilla to sop it all up. Pretty genius. Still, there are some who believe the real reason street tacos come with two tortillas has to do with texture.

Although these tortillas were billed as soft taco sized, they’re as big as some of the burrito-sized tortillas we tried from other brands, meaning that they should work for nearly any dish. Safeway’s generic tortilla is a bit thinner than Mission’s, which means it gets a bit on the crispier side once it’s been toasted or grilled.

They’re thin and super soft and flexible right out of the package. Guerrero white corn tortillas have absolutely no aftertaste and are probably the most flexible of this first category. They’re also really inexpensive and widely available. They also have fewer ingredients than others in this mass-produced category.
