About Fried flour tortillas
Fried flour tortillas are a versatile and crispy staple in various cuisines, particularly Mexican and Tex-Mex. Made from basic ingredients like flour, water, salt, and fat (typically lard or vegetable oil), these tortillas are flattened into thin rounds and fried to achieve a golden-brown, crunchy texture. While they are often used as a base for dishes like tostadas, fried tacos, or homemade chips, they can also be enjoyed on their own as a savory snack. From a nutritional perspective, fried flour tortillas are high in calories and fat due to the frying process and the refined flour used. They are low in fiber and protein but may provide small amounts of iron and carbohydrates. As a treat, moderation is key since regular consumption can contribute to excess calorie intake. Pairing them with nutrient-rich toppings like beans, vegetables, and lean proteins can enhance their overall health value.
