Flour tortillas are a soft, thin flatbread traditionally made from flour, water, fat (like lard or vegetable oil), and a pinch of salt. Originating from Mexican cuisine, they serve as the foundation for popular dishes such as burritos, quesadillas, and wraps. These versatile tortillas are prized for their mild flavor and pliable texture, making them perfect for holding a variety of fillings. While they provide carbohydrates and a source of energy, their nutritional profile depends on the specific ingredients and preparation method. Store-bought versions may contain preservatives or added sodium, while homemade options tend to be fresher and simpler. Whole wheat varieties can offer more fiber and nutrients compared to the traditional white flour versions. Moderation is key, as their calorie content and fat levels—especially in enriched or oversized tortillas—can contribute to a less balanced diet when consumed in excess.
