It’s just a flour tortilla, use your hands OP
Are there tortillas not made with flour?
“Flour tortilla” is often used to distinguish wheat flour tortillas versus corn flour tortillas which are of course made with a flour as well. Corn tortillas are more common in many regions so they’re often seen as the default.
For tacos I prefer corn tortillas
Tortillas are traditionally made with masa-- nixtamalized maize flour.
Wheat flour tortillas are popular in mexican-american food, but wheat was brought over by europeans in the columbian exchange, so dishes based on those are much newer.
