My copy of "Guide to Blessings, The Brochos for Various Foods" compiled by Rabbi Naftali Hoffner (NCSY/OU) states that tortillas get the "Shehakol" blessing because they are made of maize (corn) flour. This would make sense for corn tortillas ("hard shell tacos"), but I am not certain about flour tortillas ("soft shell tacos"). They are usually made from wheat flour without any corn.
Obviously, one could make a Shehakol on them (based on the famous advice "when in doubt, go for a Shehakol"), but my question is: Are they a flat-bread so that one should say "Hamotzi" or they a general wheat product so that "Mezonot" is more appropriate?
