Wheat tortillas are soft, thin flatbreads made primarily from wheat flour, water, oil, and salt. Originating from Mexican cuisine, they are a versatile staple often used as wraps for tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and more. Compared to corn tortillas, wheat tortillas offer a slightly softer texture and mild flavor, making them a popular choice in various dishes. Nutritionally, they are a source of carbohydrates and provide small amounts of protein and fiber. Whole wheat varieties are a healthier option, offering higher fiber content and essential nutrients like B vitamins and minerals. However, traditional wheat tortillas can be high in calories, sodium, and, depending on the brand, saturated fats due to added oils. Opting for whole wheat or low-fat versions can make them a better choice for a balanced diet. They’re best enjoyed in moderation as part of a nutritious meal paired with vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats.
