Are flour tortillas common in Mexico?

Depends on the area.  Corn is still King by a wide margin.  The sound and smells of a local tortilleria are intoxicating.    

 

When I lived in Bisbee AZ a few miles from the Sonoran border they tended to sell at least as many flour as corn tortillas (some were sold at our local Bisbee Safeway).  

 

Here in Ajijic, only corn tortillas are sold at stalls, taco sands and most restaurants.  But the stores carry both, even in most of the little bodegas there will be at least a few packs of flour (probably at a 10:1 ratio in favor of corn). 

 

We even have a Taco Arabe food truck in town....tacos arabe originated in Puebla and the tortilla is more like a pita bread.  They are amazingly good.

Here in Ajijic, corn is number one at stalls, taco sands and restaurants.  But the stores carry both, even in most of the little bodegas there will be at least a few packs of flour (probably at a 10:1 ratio in favor of corn).
