<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I recently went to my favorite local Mexican restaurant (Americanized) where they know me and my diet quite well. They will fix me whatever I want on corn tortillas; however, recently the owner told me NOT to ever order their chili and a couple other items on the menu because they use flower in the meat! I had never heard of this, but apparently it is quite common. When they fry their hamburger they just dump flour in to soak up the grease--they don't drain the grease, they soak it up! I would imagine this means ANY item that has hamburger in it--tacos, burritors, EVERYTHING. You may want to ask your favorite restaurants about this. It may be common practice everywhere! -- ************************************************ A.
