With caution
Tortilla · Treats & Drinks

A small piece of plain tortilla is safe but nutritionally empty, much like bread — fine as an occasional nibble, ideally whole-grain and low-salt.

Keeper's noteA fingernail-sized piece of plain tortilla now and then is harmless. Skip flavored wraps, and never tortilla chips (salt) or anything with garlic/onion seasoning.

What to watch out for with tortilla

Plain corn or flour tortillas aren't toxic, but they're refined starch with added salt and sometimes lard or preservatives, offering a parrot little. Corn tortillas (just masa) tend to be simpler than flour ones. Fried tortilla products — chips, taco shells — add salt and oil and should be skipped.
