A flour tortilla is a soft, round flatbread commonly used in Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine. Made from simple ingredients such as wheat flour, water, salt, and fat (typically oil or lard), it is versatile and serves as the foundation for dishes like burritos, tacos, and quesadillas. Flour tortillas are a source of carbohydrates, providing quick energy, and may contain small amounts of protein depending on the recipe. While they are a convenient option for meals, their nutritional profile can vary. Traditional versions made with lard or additional fats may be higher in calories and saturated fat, while modern versions with whole wheat flour can offer more fiber and nutrients. It’s important to check for added sugars or preservatives in store-bought options. As part of a balanced diet, flour tortillas can be enjoyed in moderation with nutrient-rich fillings that enhance their overall healthfulness.
