Soft tortillas are a versatile staple originating from Mexican cuisine, traditionally made using a simple mix of flour, water, salt, and sometimes lard or vegetable oil. They are lightly cooked to stay pliable, perfect for wrapping around fillings like beans, vegetables, meats, or cheeses. While often made with refined flour, whole-grain varieties offer added fiber and nutrients, making them a healthier option. Soft tortillas are low in fat when prepared without excess oils or lard, but store-bought versions may contain preservatives or sodium, which some may wish to moderate. Rich in carbohydrates, they provide energy but should be consumed in balanced portions, especially for those monitoring their carb intake. Their adaptability and mild flavor make them a favorite for tacos, burritos, wraps, or quesadillas, cementing their place in global cuisine as a delicious and convenient food choice.
