Tortilla

                                            TORTILLAS

A tortilla  s a type of thin flatbread , typically made from corn or wheat. In Spanish, tortilla and tortita mean “small torta or “small cake”. 

Tortillas made with maize (corn) are the oldest variety of tortilla, and remain popular in Mexico and Central America.

Made with a flour and water based dough, it is pressed and cooked similar to corn tortillas. The simplest recipes use only flour, water, fat, and salt, but commercially-made flour tortillas generally contain chemical leavening agents such as baking powder, and other ingredients.
