4. Wouldn't this depend on weather ...
... the cornmeal was "whole grain" or "degermed" (and likewise for the flour)?

5. depends on if they are made with lard or not. Corn would have more fiber
and I think they have less fat over all than the flour ones.

7. corn.

no lard, or any fat for that matter.

Of course the corn may be GM, and whole wheat flour would have some good stuff, but corn would be no fat, plus a little calcium from the lime.

8. don't really know...for me, it's corn...
because I'm on a low-protein diet, and corn tortillas have less protein than flour tortillas.

But, I'm...not normal. :evilgrin:

10. Other. Whole wheat or spelt.
If you can find a good spinach and whole wheat, all the better.

11. Not sure which is helathier
I usually eat whole wheat. I don't like corn tortillas so I would eat flour ones, even if they were less healthy.
