Tortilla

A tortilla (, Spanish: [toɾˈtiʎa]) is a thin, circular unleavened flatbread from Mexico originally made from maize hominy meal, and now also from wheat flour.

The Aztecs and other Nahuatl speakers called tortillas tlaxcalli ([t͡ɬaʃˈkalli]). First made by the indigenous peoples of Mesoamerica before colonization, tortillas are a cornerstone of Mesoamerican cuisine. Corn tortillas in Mesoamerica are known from as early as 500 BCE.
