Flour tortillas are a versatile flatbread traditionally associated with Mexican cuisine, often used in dishes like burritos, quesadillas, and wraps. Made from wheat flour, water, salt, and fat (typically lard or vegetable oil), they are softer and more pliable than corn tortillas. While they provide a modest source of carbohydrates and energy, their nutritional profile depends on preparation and size. Whole wheat varieties can offer fiber and nutrients like iron and B vitamins, making them a healthier option. However, regular flour tortillas may contain refined flour and added fats, contributing to higher calorie and lower fiber content. They’re best enjoyed in moderation, particularly if combined with nutrient-rich fillings like lean proteins, vegetables, and legumes.
