Question

Answer

A tortilla made from corn flour without wheat flour [or if a small amount is added only for binding and not for taste], the blessing is Shehakol.

Shulchan Aruch (Orach Chaim, Siman 168, סעיף ח). [Note: The answer was changed after discussion with our teacher, Rabbi, shlita, and his ruling that even thick dough that is rolled very thin is considered buns, and the blessing is Mezonot].
