Tortillas: A Versatile Staple in Global Cuisine
Tortillas are thin, round flatbreads traditionally made from corn or wheat flour. Originating in Mexico, they have become a staple food enjoyed around the world. Their soft texture and mild flavor make them perfect for a wide variety of dishes, from wraps and tacos to quesadillas and burritos.
Corn and Wheat: The Two Main Types
There are two widely recognized types of tortillas:
Corn tortillas – Made from ground corn (masa harina), offering a slightly chewy texture and earthy flavor.
Wheat tortillas – Made from wheat flour and often softer and more flexible, making them popular for wraps and burritos.
Both types serve as the foundation for countless traditional and modern recipes.
