Flour tortillas are a staple of Mexican cuisine, widely enjoyed in dishes like burritos, quesadillas, and wraps. Medium-sized flour tortillas typically consist of wheat flour, water, oil or lard, salt, and sometimes leavening agents like baking powder. They are soft, pliable, and ideal for holding a variety of fillings. While they provide a source of carbohydrates and can be fortified with iron and folic acid, traditional versions may be higher in calories, refined carbs, and saturated fat due to added oils or lard. For a healthier option, look for whole wheat versions or tortillas made with heart-healthy oils. Moderation is key when incorporating medium flour tortillas into your meals, especially for those managing weight or blood sugar levels. Pair them with nutrient-dense fillings like lean proteins, beans, and fresh vegetables to create a balanced dish.
