Large tortillas are soft, flat rounds often made from wheat flour or cornmeal, originating from Mexican cuisine. A staple in Latin American cooking, they're used in burritos, wraps, quesadillas, and other dishes. Flour tortillas typically consist of flour, water, salt, and fat, while corn tortillas are made from ground maize. Tortillas are versatile, offering a base for nutritious meals when paired with fresh vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Whole wheat or corn tortillas provide fiber, aiding digestion. However, refined flour tortillas may lack fiber and contain added fats or sodium, making them less healthy in comparison. Tortilla size also affects calorie content, with large tortillas contributing higher calorie counts to meals. Choosing whole grain options and moderating portion sizes can enhance their nutritional benefits.
