A white flour tortilla is a soft, round flatbread traditionally made from refined wheat flour, water, salt, and fat, often vegetable oil or lard. Originating from Mexican cuisine, it is a versatile staple used in dishes like burritos, tacos, and quesadillas. While white flour tortillas are beloved for their smooth texture and mild flavor, they are primarily made with refined grains, which means they lack the fiber and nutrients found in whole grains. On the plus side, they provide a quick source of carbohydrates and energy. Some versions are fortified with vitamins and minerals, which can contribute to daily nutritional needs. For a healthier option, look for tortillas made with whole wheat or alternative flours, or pair them with nutrient-rich fillings like lean proteins, vegetables, and legumes to balance your meal.
