Why tortilla is great for babies
Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free; flour tortillas count as a wheat exposure. Watch sodium.

Warm a low-sodium tortilla, spread with mashed avocado or hummus, roll tight and slice into pinwheel strips.
How to serve at 9–11 months
Quesadilla strips with melted cheese and mashed beans.
How to serve at 12+ months
Small soft tacos, quesadilla triangles, pinwheels.
Allergen note
Tortilla counts as a wheat exposure — one of the 9 common allergens. Current pediatric guidance favors introducing allergens early (around 6 months), one at a time, and keeping them in the diet regularly once tolerated.
