Corn tortillas are a traditional staple of Mexican cuisine, made from masa harina, a fine flour derived from corn that has undergone nixtamalization—a process improving its nutritional value and digestibility. Naturally gluten-free, corn tortillas are an excellent option for those with gluten sensitivities. They are lower in calories and fat than flour tortillas, offering a good source of fiber, magnesium, and B vitamins. Their simple ingredient list—typically just masa harina, water, and a pinch of salt—avoids artificial additives found in some processed bread alternatives. However, their relatively small size means fewer nutrients compared to broader serving options, and pairing them with heavy toppings may increase calorie content. Widely used in tacos, enchiladas, tostadas, and more, corn tortillas combine versatility with a wholesome base, making them a beloved element of both traditional and modern dishes.
