Question

What blessing is recited over a tortilla?

Answer

From wheat flour or other grains, the blessing is Mezonot.

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.

Source

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].
