A tortilla is a type of soft, thin flatbread made from finely ground wheat flour. Originally derived from the corn tortilla, a bread of maize which predates the arrival of Europeans to the Americas.

The native Nahuatl (Aztec) name for these was tlaxcalli. The Spanish gave them the name tortilla. Torta is a Spanish word meaning cake . Mix the words Torta and tlaxcalli and you get tortilla. Which in Spanish cis also said to mean "small torta", or "small cake".
