Some things you can do with old flour tortillas and leftover flour tortillas are to make crispy wrappers for vegetables, baked cups for dip, use them in soups, make more tacos or even eat them as is.

A flour tortilla or wheat tortilla is a type of soft, thin flatbread made from finely ground wheat flour.

It was originally inspired by the corn tortilla of Mexican cuisine, a flatbread of maize which predates the arrival of Europeans to the Americas.

You may prefer flour tortillas for their mild flavor and pillowy-soft texture.

But they're the least healthy choice in the tortilla aisle.

They are made from refined white flour, often contain additives, and can pack a lot of sodium especially compared with corn tortillas.

Flour tortillas are great for burritos and quesadillas.

They are typically much bigger than corn tortillas, allowing them to be used in dishes such as these, and they are stronger.

This means you can fill up your burrito with a ton of filling and still rest assured that your tortilla will be able to handle the weight.

Flour tortillas have a high caloric content, and the flour used is often mass-produced and filled with additives and preservatives to keep it fresh for longer.

The process of production also destroys many of the nutrients that could make this a healthy tortilla.
