Belizean Flour Tortilla

Cultural Context

Belizean flour tortillas are a staple in Belizean cuisine, often served with beans, meats, or as wraps for various fillings. Traditionally made by hand, these tortillas reflect the country's rich cultural tapestry, influenced by Mayan, Mestizo, and Garifuna communities. Today, they are enjoyed not just in Belize but also in various parts of Central America and beyond, often adapted to local tastes and ingredients.
