Wrong!!!
A taco as we know it is a roll over made with either a soft or hard taco shell in place of a piece of white bread. A quesadilla is a lot closer to a sammich then a taco is.

Look up the definition of a sandwich. Then look up the definition of bread. Case closed. A Taco is not a sandwich. A hamburger is a sandwich.

I couldn't find why this was an issue. Was there a zoning ordinance saying you can (or can't) have a sandwich shop there?
Yes . . . .

Once up in Indianapolis I decided to make my World Famous Gringo Tacos for some In-laws.
Went to Kroger's for supplies.
Was amazed to read the Corn Tortillas were made in Minneapolis!

How do we get "Junk Law" like this?
An old chief was sitting talking with his son when 2 women came to him because the younger wanted to pitch her tepee in the same spot as the older one. The older one was claiming she had use that spot for years. The chief told them to leave him alone, it was not the tribe's problem or the chief's problem, it was their problem, so they needed to figure it out on their own.
When they left the son asked the chief why he had not told the younger to find a different spot as it was obviously the "right thing to do" . The chief responded, once I make a ruling on something as minor as a spot for a tepee I will forever be called upon to make such minor rulings, when reasonable people are perfectly capable of doing so on their own.
OUR CHIEFS LOST THAT WISDOM LONG AGO. Plus, our chiefs relish being able to dictate all things no matter how small.

Yes. And I wondered why this was even an issue in the first place. According to one of the many articles:
...Quintana had previously signed a zoning agreement that prohibits fast-food style restaurants except for a “sandwich bar-style restaurant whose primary business is to sell ‘made-to-order’ or ‘subway-style’ sandwiches.”
So, Subway or Jimmy John’s would be allowed to open in the shopping center, but places like McDonald’s and Wendy’s could not...
If you go back to the origin of the term, you have to wonder if even the condominium association's defintion might be validSo, Subway or Jimmy John’s would be allowed to open in the shopping center, but places like McDonald’s and Wendy’s could not...
The sandwich is named after John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich, an eighteenth-century English aristocrat. It is commonly said that Lord Sandwich, during long sessions of cribbage and other card games at public gambling houses, would order his valet to bring him salt beef between two pieces of toasted bread. He was fond of this form of food because it allowed him to continue gambling while eating, without the need for a fork, and without getting his cards greasy from eating meat with his bare hands.(Wikipedia)
Judges must shake their heads at some of the stuff thay have to rule on.
Headed South from TJ, we stopped for lunch,
The Mrs said Tequila and this Taco sandwich is
the Cat's meow.
I replied, and some other parts as well.

My cat has just stated that he officially objects to this comment
He suggests "the dog's bollocks" as a suitable alternative.
Sounds like you've never watched city council members in action!
Speaking of PITA, I wonder where a Gyro fits into this?

The zoning law was clearly racist. Onwards to SCOTUS!
Bread is made with grains ground into flour and mixed with eggs, milk and maybe some leavening.
Meat, or other ingredients, wrapped in bread becomes a sandwich.
By that reasoning, a flour/corn tortilla is a Mexican sandwich called a Taco, also a burrito, along with an Italian Cannoli and a Greek Gyro are sandwiches too.
French crepes are pan cakes until they are filled and wrapped around the filling, then they too can be classed as sandwiches.
Wonderful, so glad Ft. Wayne can now sleep at night.
Local restaurant will make any sandwich a roll-up, I like the way the roll-up holds onto the juice that normally runs all over the place. He makes a terrific lamb roll-up that holds onto the tzatziki like no sandwich can. I love sandwiches, especially as it warms up. Its all in the fold with a roll-up, my foster son taught me how to roll a burrito while working at a local Mexican joint, we ate a lot of breakfast burritos.

You Boys do know that a Tortilla is an unleavened Flatbread?
One of many.

A flour tortilla is a delivery system capable of carrying a wide array of payloads to target.
