A large white tortilla is a soft, round flatbread traditionally made from refined white flour, water, salt, and fat, such as vegetable oil or lard. Originating from Mexican cuisine, it serves as the foundation for dishes like burritos, quesadillas, and wraps. Its neutral flavor and pliable texture make it versatile for savory or sweet fillings. While it provides carbohydrates for energy, large white tortillas are typically low in fiber due to the refined flour and can be higher in calories and fat, depending on preparation. They contain a modest amount of protein and often added iron and B vitamins from enriched flour. For a healthier option, look for versions made with whole wheat or alternative flours that offer more fiber and nutrients. While convenient and delicious, portion control and balanced fillings are key to incorporating tortillas into a healthy diet.
