How it's used
This term is a direct translation used in supermarkets and restaurants to distinguish the flatbread from local Chinese pancakes. It is rarely used in casual conversation unless specifically discussing Mexican cuisine or ingredients for home cooking. Most people simply refer to it as a wrap or by the specific dish name when ordering out.
