A tortilla for a burrito is a soft, round flatbread traditionally made from flour, water, fat (such as vegetable oil or lard), and a pinch of salt. Originating from Mexican cuisine, it's a versatile staple used to wrap flavorful fillings, from beans and rice to meats, vegetables, and cheese. Typically larger than a regular tortilla, its pliability is perfect for folding and rolling burritos. While flour tortillas are a delicious and adaptable base, their nutritional aspects vary. They are a good source of quick carbohydrates and have a moderate protein content, but store-bought varieties may include added preservatives or higher sodium levels. Whole-grain or lower-fat versions can provide additional fiber and lower calorie content, making them a healthier choice. However, portions should be considered, as traditional tortillas can be calorie-dense depending on size and ingredients. Opting for smaller or homemade options can enhance their nutritional value.
