Corn tortillas are a traditional staple in Mexican cuisine, made from masa harina, a flour derived from nixtamalized corn kernels. This simple recipe typically includes just corn flour, water, and sometimes a small amount of salt. Naturally gluten-free, corn tortillas are rich in fiber, magnesium, and B vitamins, making them a nutritious option for many diets. Their low fat content and moderate calorie count make them a lighter choice compared to flour tortillas. However, store-bought versions may contain preservatives or added sodium, so opting for fresh or homemade varieties can be a healthier alternative. Corn tortillas are versatile and can be used in tacos, enchiladas, quesadillas, or as chips when toasted. Their authentic flavor and texture have made them a beloved component of Mexican and Latin American dishes worldwide.
