Tortilla is absolutely flat bread.

We label foods based upon the number of carb sides.

Open face sandwiches are not a thing. A sandwich requires two non-contiguous opposed bread layers, otherwise it isn't a sandwich. It's a pie. A bottom carb layer with a top layer of substance. Pizza, pie, "open face sandwiches", and French parfait are all pies.

Now, by having only one contiguous bread, but covering three sides, that would put tacos, hotdogs, Philly cheese steaks, and subs all in their own category (arguably a misshapen pie, but that's a deeper debate).

Yes the term exists. I'm saying the term is wrong and shouldn't exist.

It's weird in my area. We say toast and jam but call meat and cheese on toast a sandwich. I guess I'm my mind, more than once topping kind of makes it a sandwich, however ... Eggs and cheese on toast but Neuchatel and jam on toast.

Would you consider butter and vegemite on toast to be a sandwich?

It isn't a thing in USA, but I guess if it's filling, a sandwich? You're Aussie? What is the difference between Vegemite and marmite?

Now, by having only one contiguous bread, but covering three sides..

So tacos are open face pies?
