Wheat flour tortillas are soft, thin flatbreads made primarily from finely-ground wheat flour, water, salt, and a fat source like vegetable oil, lard, or shortening. They originated in Mexico and are a staple in Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine, commonly used for dishes like burritos, quesadillas, and wraps. Their mild flavor and pliability make them versatile in both savory and sweet recipes. Nutritionally, wheat flour tortillas offer carbohydrates for energy and small amounts of protein and fiber, especially if made with whole wheat flour. They tend to be lower in fat compared to fried alternatives, though variations with added fats can increase calorie content. Some store-bought versions may include preservatives or sodium, so homemade or minimally processed options are often healthier. While they can fit into balanced diets, portion control is key due to their calorie density and refined flour content in standard varieties.
