May the Corniest Win: A Tortilla Taste-Off
Washington Post food staffers piled ten store-bought corn tortilla brands into the basket in an effort to choose the corniest. The verdict? Trader Joe's wins with simplicity (just corn, lime, and water in there), the familiar Mission brand is just OK, and ew, Whole Foods generic brand mimicked "a corn-flavored Fruit Roll-Up," noted one taster.

Interesting. Last Sepetember, Gourmet magazine did a taste test of tortillas and they said that Whole Foods' 365 Organic corn tortillas were the best of the lot!

Having tasted both the Whole Foods brand and the Trader Joe's brand, Trader Joe's would be my choice -- hands down -- as winner.

The Washington Post commenting on corn tortillas isn't that like going to an all you eat buffet for authentic Chinese food.
As disappointed as I am with the drop in quality of restaurant corn tortilla since I've moved from San Antonio to Austin, I shudder to think what passes for a corn tortilla in Washington.
