We have a boat where I go stay a week at a time. I hit the dollar store and buy eggs and bread then the fruit stand and buy avocados. I take bacon, cheese and salsa with me. I can eat for a week.

I think it’s more a matter of people simply liking tortillas (especially of the flour variety) more than bread and salsa more than ketchup, demographics notwithstanding.

Any Mexican who buys store-bought salsa should have his sombrero confiscated!

I don’t make them every week, but have been making them more often than I used to.

I think you're missing the distinction between tortillas and tortilla chips.Point taken, although the article mentions both.
Of course, we're talking about something quite different when we're talking tortillas as a "meal container."
It's more of a health thing, in that regard.
Millions of women who would never dream of eating a hotdog or a hamburger for lunch every day will eat a "healthy wrap" every day - which is usually salad with a little bit of grilled chicken in a tortilla.
So it's not really "burritos and enchiladas are replacing burgers and hotdogs" - although they are becoming more popular. The whole wrap thing has taken over and the wrap is not a Mexican cultural phenomenon.

When you got 20 million Mexicans in the country who have no desire to become Americans, of course they’re going to buy salsa.

I put them in every stew and soup as well as traditional dishes-and I share with my friends because there are many plants.
Try putting 20 or so mixed green (unripe) and red (ripe) ones in an empty soy sauce shaker bottle along with 3-4 large cloves of garlic you’ve flattened with the side of your fist, fill with your favorite vinegar-close and let sit until everything sinks to the bottom of the bottle-a week or so-then shake over your favorite steamed greens-delicious...

Every party/casual event I go to (birthday, picnic, gameday, parent-teacher night, what have you) usually has an "appetizer" spread that includes potato chips, pretzels, tortilla chips and pita chips with an array of dips and the obligatory fresh vegetable platter.
To: SoothingDave
Well, many of us have fine recipes we will share...

Salsa is healthier than catchup, and corn tortillas are healthier than almost all hamburger buns.

We eat a lot of home grown hot peppers but not much tortillas or corn chips. Probably because I’m allergic to flour.

MMM, nice closeup. Reminds me of New Mexican Enchiladas:
Tortillas, fried eggs and white cheese stacked like flapjacks in layers as high as you want and then covered in red sauce.

It is just as well I may go for ketchup a few times out of the year.
I put it on spaghetti with sauce and esp. on meatballs more than I do on burgers.

Even cornmeal flour?
BTW, I bought some hot pepper jam (not sweetened) from a farmer's market.
Seemed weird at first, but very tasty.
