If you wrap a brat in a tortilla instead of putting it in a bun it becomes a "wrap" and then it is healthy.

No, you'd be missing your chocolate group and your pepperoni group.

How is a brat not healthy?  Ditch the tortilla, put it on a fork and it's easier to dip it in mustard.

Had a Johnsonville brat at a friend's bbq last weekend and bit into a 1/4" cube of cartilage. MSG-spiked grizzle. That's not good eats.

Actually a tortilla is worse for you than a good bun. But I don't care. There has to be some fiber in that sausage somewhere.

Corn tortilla fixes the "worse for you than a bun" issue and helps on the fiber front, too.

Pretty sure it is a Wiener tip thread. 

But some folks distinguish between brats and wieners. I am sure someone can tell us the difference.
Parts is parts right? 

My vote is for the stick it with the fork and dip it option.

Never got the gristle in wurst while in Germany, or from a Metzger (butcher) in Indy named Claus.

I hand cut all the meat for my Oktoberfest brats-no gristle allowed.  We make 75-100 pounds each year, I've got an experienced sausage crew so we can easily knock out 30 pounds in an afternoon.
IWhen I worked on the drilling rigs brats and cheese wrapped in a tortilla was a staple.

Mix a little maltodextrin into your mustard.

Love a good brat. But Johnsonville is crap.
