AH!!!! That makes sense I ordered taquitos (!) at a nice local
Mexican restaurants in St. Augustine FL when I was there last month to
visit family and requested the taquitos to be made with flour tortillas
instead of corn tortillas, since I prefer the former.

OH, and darn, I (!) misspelled "taquitos" didn't I ?!!!! Perhaps I'll
not buy any frozen taquitos at the grocery store after all, if they're
made with corn tortillas; I'll be sure to check, first. Thanks again
for the clarification(s) ;>
