flour tortillas
Soft taco shells
Flour tortillas are thin, soft flatbreads made from wheat flour, water, fat, and salt—a staple of northern Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine.
Unlike corn tortillas, they're pliable enough to fold around large fillings without cracking, making them the standard wrapper for burritos and fajitas: I'll take mine on flour tortillas instead of corn.
