      Tortilla Flat ist ein Schelmenroman von John Steinbeck aus dem Jahr 1935. Er spielt in der Zeit nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg in der namengebenden Paisano-Siedlung oberhalb von Monterey in Kalifornien. Auslöser für die Geschichten waren Erlebnisse Steinbecks aus den 1920er Jahren, als er gemeinsam mit mexikanischen Sträflingen in einer Zuckerfabrik arbeitete.
