Choose whole grain tortillas for an extra nutritional punch of essential nutrients, including fibre. Only 65 per cent of Canadians ensure fibre is included in their diet plans, according to a recent survey by Grain Farmers of Ontario, so this is a tasty and easy way to boost your daily intake. The tortillas are also a good source of iron, another important nutrient that only 40 per cent of people deliberately include in their diet.
