In our assignment to read pages 524 - 526 in our Patterns book, Jose Antonio Burciaga tells us the meaning of a Tortilla. Jose shows us that not only is it just a food, but holds deeper meaning. When the earliest Mexican immigrants introduced the US to tortillas, over time we have Americanized them and invented many different foods used with them. For Mexicans they served as the spoon and the fork, the plate and the napkin. However, the versatility of tortillas are great, and have spiritual and artistic qualities as well as being traditional and cultural.
