These unleavened breads are flat and round and baked on a griddle. Resembling a very thin pancake, they are the everyday bread of Mexico and many Central American countries. In Spain, the word tortilla refers to a thin omelet. Their sturdiness makes them ideal for burritos and fajitas.
Tortillas are made from whole-wheat, white, or corn flour (masa), and come in various sizes. Some may contain flavors, like spinach or red pepper.
Use whole-grain tortillas as a wrapper for beans and rice. Top corn tortillas with cooked beans, diced red peppers, chopped cilantro, and a sprinkle of cheese—bake until cheese is bubbly.
