What it is

Flour tortillas are a type of unleavened flatbread made from wheat flour, water, and salt. They are typically cooked on a griddle or comal. Some recipes may include a small amount of fat, such as lard or vegetable shortening, to improve texture.

Why it's used

Flour tortillas are a staple in Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine, serving as a versatile base for dishes like tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and enchiladas. They are used by manufacturers to provide a pliable wrapper or base for a wide variety of prepared meals and snacks.

Health notes

Flour tortillas are primarily a source of carbohydrates. The FDA considers wheat flour to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). Regulatory bodies like the WHO/FAO Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated many common tortilla ingredients. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption of flour tortillas.

Allergen info

Flour tortillas contain wheat, which is one of the nine FDA major allergens. They also contain gluten, a protein found in wheat.
