tortilla
Thin maize disc
A tortilla is a thin, flat round of unleavened bread, fundamental to Mexican and Central American cuisine.
Corn tortillas are the traditional form; flour tortillas became common in northern Mexico and the American Southwest.
Tortillas wrap fillings in tacos, burritos, and enchiladas, or accompany meals as bread.
In Spain, a tortilla is something different: a thick omelet typically made with potatoes and onions.
