"Chef Aarón Sánchez stated, "It's actually something that's super inaccurate ... I think it's the destruction of humanity," referring to fried tortilla bowls and their lack of authenticity."
"Sánchez explained, "Well, first of all, you don't fry a flour tortilla. That's number one. So think about it. It's made with flour and it's saturated with oil. It's not going to be something pleasant.""
Chef Aarón Sánchez expresses strong disapproval of fried tortilla bowls, labeling them as inauthentic and detrimental. He highlights their origins in the 1960s, tracing back to a Disneyland restaurant's taco salad served in a deep-fried flour tortilla. Sánchez emphasizes that frying a flour tortilla is incorrect, as it becomes saturated with oil, leading to an unpleasant dish. He contrasts flour tortillas with corn tortillas, which have a much longer history in Mexican cuisine, dating back around 3,000 years.
