What it is

A whole wheat tortilla is a type of flatbread made primarily from whole wheat flour. It is typically cooked on a griddle or comal, resulting in a soft, pliable disc. Whole wheat flour includes the bran and germ of the wheat kernel, providing more fiber and nutrients than refined white flour.

Why it's used

Whole wheat tortillas are used as a base for wraps, burritos, quesadillas, and other folded or rolled dishes. Manufacturers use them to add a whole grain component to convenience foods like breakfast sandwiches and prepared meals. Their mild flavor and flexible texture make them versatile for various fillings.

Health notes

Whole wheat flour is recognized as a whole grain and is a source of dietary fiber. The FDA considers whole grains to be part of a healthy dietary pattern. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated ingredients commonly found in tortillas, such as whole wheat flour, and generally recognize them as safe for consumption within typical food uses. Evidence suggests that diets rich in whole grains are associated with various health benefits.

Allergen info

Whole wheat tortillas are made from wheat, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Wheat contains gluten, a protein that can cause adverse reactions in individuals with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.
