About Corn tortilla with cheese
A corn tortilla with cheese is a simple yet flavorful dish rooted in Latin American cuisine, particularly popular in Mexican culinary traditions. Made from masa harina (a type of corn flour), the tortilla is rich in dietary fiber and provides essential minerals like magnesium and potassium. When paired with cheese, it introduces protein and calcium to the dish, supporting bone health and muscle function. However, the nutritional profile can vary depending on the type and amount of cheese used; while lighter cheeses contribute fewer calories and less saturated fat, richer cheeses may increase these components. The combination creates a balanced snack or side dish, offering a mix of carbs, fats, and protein. Opting for whole-grain corn tortillas and moderated portions of cheese can make this option more health-conscious while retaining its traditional taste and appeal.
