If you landed here, you probably love the soft, flexible goodness of a flour tortilla. Whether you’re making tacos, wraps, or a quick snack, this tag brings together the best posts from our community. Below you’ll find a quick guide to what a flour tortilla is, how to pick the right one, and a few ideas to mix it with Indian flavors.
A flour tortilla is a thin flatbread made from wheat flour, water, salt, and a bit of fat – usually oil or butter. The dough is rolled out and cooked on a hot griddle for a minute or two on each side. The result is a soft, slightly chewy sheet that can be folded, rolled or cut however you like. Because wheat is more common in India than corn, flour tortillas are easier to find in most Indian grocery stores.
Don’t feel limited to Mexican dishes. Here are three simple ways to bring Indian flair to flour tortillas:
1. Paneer Wraps: Cook paneer cubes with spices like turmeric, cumin and garam masala. Place the mixture on a warm tortilla, add sliced onions, cilantro and a squeeze of lemon, then roll it up. It’s a fast lunch that feels familiar yet fresh.
2. Masala Quesadilla: Spread a thin layer of butter on a tortilla, add shredded cheese and a spoonful of spiced potato filling (think aloo masala). Top with another tortilla and cook until golden. Cut into wedges and serve with mint chutney.
3. Breakfast Burrito with Indian Twist: Scramble eggs with chopped tomatoes, green chilies and coriander. Add a spoon of cooked lentils or chana masala, roll everything in a tortilla and enjoy a hearty start to the day.

When shopping for flour tortillas, look for those without added preservatives if you can. Fresh tortillas keep better in the fridge and can be reheated on a pan or microwave. If you prefer homemade, the dough only takes 10 minutes to mix and another 5 minutes to rest before you roll it out.

In my recent blog post, I explored the similarities between chapati and flour tortilla, two widely popular flatbreads. While both are made from flour, water, and salt, the key difference lies in the type of flour used; chapatis are made from whole wheat flour, while tortillas use all-purpose flour. Additionally, chapatis are cooked on a griddle without oil, while tortillas are often cooked with a bit of fat. Despite these differences, both are versatile and can be enjoyed with various dishes worldwide. So, while chapati and flour tortilla share some similarities, they remain distinct in both ingredients and preparation methods.
