    With the amount of white people I’ve seen eat a corn tortilla and complain, you’d almost think this is satirically produced

        As a half Mexican who grew up with my Mexican family, spent a lot of time in Mexico, and has celiac disease (meaning I cant eat flour), I actually disagree. It makes me sad that I cant eat flour tortillas anymore - especially because my grandma’s home made flour tortillas were the fucking bomb.

        That being said, street tacos only belong on corn.

    As someone living on a tight food budget, it’s still possible to stretch 3$ WAYYYY further. Prices are bad, don’t get me wrong but this kinda seems like performative bs

      It’s starting to get really area dependent. At this point even rice from the Asian market and beans is pretty firmly out side of the 3 buck range for a proper portion for each meal in my area unless your actively starving yourself.

        A floor on rice and beans should be drawn by online retailers (Amazon) which have the same price nation wide for bulk goods like rice and beans. Amazon currently retails bulk rice for ~0.06$ an ounce and pinto beans for ~0.07$ an ounce. 4 ounces of each is enough to get to an ~800kcal meal for ~0.50$
