Whole-grain tortilla
A whole-grain tortilla provides a flexible starch with more fiber than many plain flour tortillas. It can be a useful wrap base when the tortilla is reasonably sized and the filling is not overloaded with high-fat toppings.
Why it received this rating
The green rating reflects a typical 8-inch whole-grain tortilla with modest fat and several grams of fiber. The exact fiber, sodium, size, and ingredients vary substantially by brand, so use the current label for a specific product.

Portion and preparation guidance
Use 1 small or medium tortilla and fill it with lean protein, vegetables, beans if tolerated, or a light spread. Warm it rather than frying it, and use half of a large burrito-size tortilla if that better matches your appetite.
Symptoms or considerations
Check serving size, fiber, and sodium on the package. Some high-fiber or low-carb tortillas contain far more added fiber than a standard whole-grain tortilla and should be evaluated separately.
Compare tortilla options
Corn tortillas are often smaller and simpler. Whole-grain tortillas may provide more natural fiber. Low-carb tortillas may be much higher in added fiber, so they can be useful but may need portion adjustment.
Common questions
Is a whole-grain tortilla the same as a high-fiber low-carb tortilla?
Not necessarily. Some low-carb tortillas use large amounts of added fiber, while a standard whole-grain tortilla may contain only a few grams. Check the label because the two products can behave very differently.
What should I compare on tortilla labels?
Look at tortilla size, fiber, sodium, fat, and ingredient list. A smaller tortilla with moderate fiber may be easier to portion than a very large wrap even if both are labeled whole grain.
