Flour tortillas are soft, flat breads made from a mix of wheat flour, water, salt, and fat, such as lard or vegetable oil. Originating in Mexican cuisine, they are a staple for dishes like burritos, quesadillas, and wraps. Compared to corn tortillas, they have a milder flavor and a pillowy texture. While flour tortillas offer a good source of carbohydrates and can provide energy, their nutritional profile varies depending on type. Traditional versions may contain saturated fat from lard, whereas modern varieties often use vegetable oils for a lighter option. Whole wheat tortillas are a healthier alternative, offering more fiber and nutrients than the refined white flour versions. However, flour tortillas can also be high in calories and sodium, especially in processed or oversized commercial versions. Selecting smaller, whole-grain options and mindful pairings can help make them a balanced part of your diet.
