Eight-inch reduced-fat 97% flour tortillas

8-inch reduced-fat 97% flour tortillas are a staple and versatile food in many kitchens, especially in Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine. These tortillas are primarily made from wheat flour and have been designed to contain a significantly lower amount of fat compared to traditional tortillas, reducing the fat content by up to 97%. This makes them a lighter and healthier option for those looking to manage their caloric intake without sacrificing the characteristic flavor and texture.

Origin: Flour tortillas have their roots in Mexico, where they are very popular in the northern part of the country due to the abundance of wheat. Over time, their use has expanded internationally and they have been adapted for different nutritional needs, as is the case with reduced-fat versions.

Properties: These tortillas provide a moderate source of carbohydrates and fiber, with a significantly lower content of saturated fats thanks to their reduced-fat formula. They are ideal for preparing tacos, burritos, wraps, and other recipes that require a soft yet sturdy base. Furthermore, with a standard size of 8 inches, they are practical for portion control and easy to use in various culinary preparations.

Synonyms in Spanish from Latin America: in different countries they may be known as tortillas de trigo, tortillas de harina de trigo, or simply tortillas de harina. Although the term "tortilla" can vary by region, in this context it always refers to the flour tortilla, not the corn tortilla nor the Spanish omelet.
