About Corn tortillas
Corn tortillas are traditional flatbreads made from masa harina (corn flour treated with lime) and water, originating from Mesoamerican cuisine and a staple of Mexican and Central American diets. Naturally gluten-free, they offer a distinct, earthy flavor and serve as a versatile base for dishes like tacos, enchiladas, and tostadas. Corn tortillas are lower in calories, fat, and sodium compared to flour tortillas, making them a healthier choice for many. They are also a good source of complex carbohydrates, providing sustained energy, as well as dietary fiber for digestive health. Additionally, they contain essential nutrients like magnesium and small amounts of iron. However, packaged varieties can sometimes include preservatives or added sodium, so opting for fresh or whole-grain versions ensures maximum nutritional benefits. To keep them healthful, pair them with nutrient-rich fillings like lean proteins, beans, fresh vegetables, and healthy fats.
