Tortilla flour is a finely milled wheat flour used to make soft, pliable tortillas, a staple of Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine. This versatile ingredient typically consists of enriched wheat flour combined with baking powder, salt, and a fat source like vegetable oil or lard to create its tender texture. Tortillas made from this flour are widely used for dishes like burritos, quesadillas, and wraps. While they provide energy through carbohydrates and some trace nutrients like iron and B vitamins, their nutritional profile depends on preparation methods. Store-bought versions may contain added preservatives or higher fat and sodium levels, potentially making them less healthy when consumed in excess. Opting for whole-wheat tortilla flour or homemade recipes can offer more fiber and nutrients. Tortilla flour’s adaptability makes it a beloved choice for creating quick, satisfying meals across various cultures.
