Are Tortillas Vegan? Vegan Tortilla Brands Guide

Vegan Tortilla Wraps Brands

You swap ground meat for tofu taco crumbles and you choose a vegan cheese brand to sprinkle on top. And just as you’re about to roll the perfect vegan burrito, you stop and ask yourself, are tortillas vegan?

Jump To Vegan Tortilla List

It’s probably not something you’ve given much thought to before going vegan. Flour and corn tortillas should be made of just that — flour and corn.

But the hard truth is this: Not all tortilla brands are vegan.

While most brands of tortillas won’t list any obvious animal products, such as milk or eggs, they are usually pretty processed, and as the ingredients list grows, so do the chances of an animal product being added.

To find out which brands of tortillas are vegan, you have to carefully read the ingredients and make sure all of them are vegan. Or, you can contact the manufacturers directly ask them if their products are plant-based.

If you’re looking to see if a particular brand is vegan, you can jump to my complete list of vegan tortilla brands. At the end, I also included a few brands that are not vegan-friendly so you can stay away from them.

Tortilla Brands that Are Not Guaranteed Vegan

CHI-CHI’S

CHI-CHI’S tortillas are arguably one of the more popular brands of tortillas, but because they are not certified vegan, you have to be careful of the ingredients.

If you sort through their longer ingredients lists, you’ll see that shortening made out of mono- and diglycerides is usually listed. Because this is sometimes an animal product and they don’t label it as coming from a plant source, it’s best to stay away from these products.

Some of these products don’t contain mono- and diglycerides but do contain enzymes, which again, can be either animal or plant-based, and they don’t specify which.

La Banderita by Ole Mexican Foods

La Banderita is another popular brand of tortillas, but unfortunately, very few varieties are vegan.

It seems like the preservatives added to La Banderita products make them not vegan. If you look through the ingredients list in almost any one of their tortillas, you’ll see one of the following ingredients that is not vegan: mono and diglycerides, calcium carbonate, enzymes.

These ingredients are not definitely from an animal source, but because the brand didn’t specify that they’re not, we can’t say for sure that they are vegan.

The only variety of La Banderita tortillas that are vegan is the Ready to Cook variety. Because you have to cook these before eating, many of the non-vegan preservatives are not included.

Old El Paso

Another brand that you often see at grocery stores, Old El Paso tortillas are not very vegan friendly and a good brand to stay away from.

While their hard shells might be plant-based, their soft flour tortillas are concerning, as they contain mono and diglycerides and enzymes, which may or may not be vegan.
