Tortillas - Page 2

Tortillas are thin, flat unleavened breads made from masa (a dough made from corn or wheat flour) and are a staple in Mexican and Central American cuisine. They can be cooked on a griddle or comal and are used as a base for various dishes, such as tacos, enchiladas, and quesadillas. Tortillas come in different varieties, primarily corn tortillas, which are made from nixtamalized corn, and flour tortillas, which are made from wheat flour. Corn tortillas are traditionally smaller and have a distinct flavor, while flour tortillas are softer, larger, and often used in a wider range of dishes. Tortillas can be served warm or cold and can also be used to scoop up food or to wrap ingredients. They have become popular in many other cuisines around the world due to their versatility and can be made in various sizes and thicknesses.
