If you mean how many kinds of WHEAT flour, there are:

All Purpose - for general baking, quick breads, cookies, pancakes, thickening

Bread - higher in the wheat protein, gluten

Granulated - for making gravies and sauces (Wondra is an example) it doesn't clump when added to a liquid.

Whole Wheat - made from the whole wheat berry or kernel

"White" Whole Wheat (made from a softer/lighter textured variety of wheat)

Self Rising - baking soda and salt have been added

Pastry - higher in starch, for delicate pie crusts, etc.

Whole Wheat Pastry

Semolina - a particular variety of wheat used in making pasta

Pretty much any grain can be ground into flour. Even nuts such as almonds or hazelnuts, can be found. Chestnut flour is used in some Italian pastries. Then there are dozens of other flours, each with its own particular best use and nutritional values. Some common ones are:

Corn

Oat

Millet

Barley

Soy

Rice

Kamut (a relative of Wheat)

Spelt (relative of Wheat)

Buckwheat

Tapioca (also known as Manioc)

It really depends on the tortilla. They come in different sizes, made with different flour types, and have different types of fat. The basic ingredients are flour, salt, water, and a fat.

Just keep in mind that everything is better for you in moderation.
