Tortillas are made from white or yellow corn or wheat flour and have found their place in mainstream America. They come in all varieties and sizes from fajita, soft taco, burrito and kid sizes to extra thin, light and 98 percent fat-free. Flavored tortillas, often called wraps, include Southwestern chili, zesty garlic herb, sun-dried tomato basil and garden spinach herb flavors.
Tortillas are becoming popular as substitutes for traditional breads in sandwiches, pizza and hot dogs. They can be heated in a microwave or toaster oven, or warmed or baked in the oven, steamed, grilled or fried.
