A flour tortilla is a thin type of flatbread made from wheat flour, water and usually a small amount of fat. It is a staple in Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine and is commonly used to make dishes like burritos, tacos, quesadillas and wraps. Flour tortillas are soft, flexible and versatile, making them a popular choice for creating a variety of dishes. They can be filled with savoury ingredients like meat, cheese, beans and vegetables or used as a base for sweet fillings like fruit and chocolate.
