That wasn't good of Hope to eat the tortilla! The good news is that the fruit of the lime is edible to dogs, only the skin and the plant material causes problems. More than likely, these tortillas have lime fruit as part of them, and that should not cause a problem. You can look out for signs of toxicity from the skin and plant material just to be safe, which includes vomiting, diarrhea, and depression. Should you see any of those signs, I would take Hope into the vet to be safe; otherwise, she should be fine :-)
