What it is
Small flour tortillas are thin, round flatbreads made primarily from wheat flour, water, and fat (like vegetable oil or lard). They are cooked on a griddle or comal, resulting in a soft, pliable texture ideal for wrapping fillings.
Why it's used
Tortillas serve as a base for various dishes, acting as a wrapper or carrier for ingredients. They are commonly found in Mexican-inspired meals, wraps, quesadillas, and as a side dish.
Health notes
Flour tortillas are a source of carbohydrates and can contribute to calorie intake. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) generally recognizes the ingredients used in typical flour tortillas as safe (GRAS) for their intended use. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many common food ingredients, but specific evaluations for 'flour tortillas' as a whole product are not typically made. Health impacts are generally related to the overall nutritional profile of the tortilla and its fillings.
Allergen info
Flour tortillas contain wheat, which is one of the FDA's major allergens. They may also contain soy or dairy depending on the specific ingredients used. Gluten, derived from wheat, is also present.
