About Flower tortillas

Flower tortillas, often referred to as flour tortillas, are a versatile staple originating from Mexican cuisine. They are crafted from simple components, primarily wheat flour, water, salt, and typically a fat source like lard or vegetable oil, which gives them their soft, pliable texture. Unlike traditional corn tortillas, flour tortillas offer a milder flavor and are widely used for dishes such as burritos, fajitas, and quesadillas. Nutritionally, they provide carbohydrates for quick energy but often have a higher calorie count than corn tortillas due to added fats. Whole wheat versions offer higher fiber and nutritional value, supporting better digestion and sustained energy. However, traditional flour tortillas may contain saturated fats or sodium, depending on preparation, making moderation key for heart health and weight management. Their adaptability and satisfying texture make them a go-to option for savory meals and snacks across global cuisines.
