About Tortillas

Tortillas are thin, flat rounds of dough cooked on a hot surface. The plural name covers products made from different grains and formulations, commonly including corn- or wheat-based versions; this record does not specify which kind.

They are eaten as a bread-like food or used to hold or wrap other foods. Their colour, flexibility, flavour, and texture vary with the grain, ingredients, thickness, and freshness, so no single tortilla formulation can be inferred.
