Bolillos are traditional Mexican bread rolls with a golden crust and soft, airy interior, similar to a French baguette but smaller and oval-shaped. They are typically made with simple ingredients: wheat flour, water, yeast, salt, and occasionally a touch of sugar or shortening. Bolillos are a staple in Mexican cuisine, often served as a side for soups, filled with meats and vegetables for sandwiches (tortas), or enjoyed plain with coffee. In terms of nutrition, bolillos are a source of carbohydrates, providing energy, and contain minimal fat when made without added shortening. However, as they are made with refined flour, they lack the fiber and nutrients found in whole grain breads. To make bolillos a healthier choice, pair them with nutrient-rich toppings like lean protein, vegetables, or avocado. While delicious and versatile, moderation is key for those mindful of carbohydrate intake or following a low-glycemic diet.
