Keep portions tiny and occasional. Large pieces add empty calories quickly. Avoid spicy fillings, salty chips, and buttery skillet versions.
Tortillas are thin flatbreads made from corn masa or wheat flour, used for tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and wraps. Mostly starch with limited nutritional value for pets.
Corn tortillas use masa harina, water, and salt; flour tortillas add fat and leavening. Flavored versions may include seasoning or cheese. Tortilla chips and fried taco shells add oil and sodium.
Often reheated in oil or butter before serving. Leftover folded tacos combine tortilla with meat grease and salsa residue.
