Tortilla

A tortilla is a type of flatbread originating from Mexico and Central America, traditionally made from corn or wheat flour. It is a versatile staple used as a base or wrapping for various dishes like tacos, burritos, and quesadillas. The dough is rolled into thin rounds and cooked on a hot griddle or skillet until soft and pliable, sometimes with slight charring for flavor. Tortillas are valued for their convenience, portability, and ability to complement a wide range of fillings, making them an essential ingredient in many Latin American cuisines.
