Summary: 

All the flour tortillas I've seen in supermarkets have baking powder.
Therefore I would be unwilling to risk eating one at a Mexican restaurant.
All the corn tortillas I've seen in supermarkets don't have baking
powder or any other leavening.  Me myself I consider them acceptable.
However, some people might eschew them on the same grounds they refuse
to eat non-Pesach-dik matzo during Passover (fear of accidental
leavening).

Some years back when we first got a dog, we noticed that Milk Bones
contain supposedly dead Brewer's Yeast plus a little baking powder,
but Bonz seems to be unleavened.

Incidentally, with Shevuot coming up relatively soon, I'll mention that we
noticed you can make low salt/cholesterol goodies with Mocha Mix and
crepes (rather than the more standard blintzes).  Crepes are also
kosher for Pesach, as they don't contain any leavening; they're too thin
to need any.  Baking soda/powder are permanently on our no-no list, so
on Passover our main dietary change is to give up yeast.
