Flour tortillas are soft, thin flatbreads traditionally made from wheat flour, water, fat (such as lard or vegetable oil), and a pinch of salt. Originating from Mexican cuisine, they are a staple in dishes like burritos, quesadillas, and wraps. Unlike corn tortillas, which are gluten-free, flour tortillas are pliable and slightly chewy due to their wheat content. They provide a quick source of energy thanks to carbohydrates but may be calorie-dense depending on the amount of added fat. Whole wheat varieties offer more fiber and nutrients, supporting digestion and heart health, while traditional versions may be higher in refined carbs and lower in essential nutrients. Some store-bought options include preservatives or added sodium, making homemade or minimally processed choices preferable for balanced nutrition. Versatile and delicious, flour tortillas can be enjoyed in moderation as part of a wholesome meal.
