About Homemade flour tortillas

Homemade flour tortillas are a soft, versatile staple in Mexican cuisine, traditionally used for tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and wraps. Made with simple ingredients like all-purpose flour, water, salt, and a fat source such as oil, lard, or butter, they are quick to prepare and can be tailored to dietary preferences. While rich in carbohydrates, homemade tortillas allow better control over additives and preservatives compared to store-bought versions. Choosing whole-grain flour or a healthier fat option can boost their fiber and nutrient content. However, traditional recipes often include refined flour and saturated fats, which may be less ideal for heart health. These tortillas provide a comforting and satisfying base for meals while offering an opportunity to maximize nutrition by pairing them with fresh veggies, lean proteins, and wholesome toppings.
