About Handmade corn tortillas
Handmade corn tortillas are a staple of Mexican cuisine, cherished for their simplicity and rich cultural history. Made from masa harina, a finely ground corn flour treated with limewater, these tortillas often consist of just two ingredients: masa harina and water. Unlike store-bought varieties, which may contain preservatives, handmade versions are fresh and free of additives. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free and provide essential nutrients like fiber, magnesium, and niacin. They are lower in calories and fat compared to flour tortillas, making them a healthier choice for wraps or tacos. However, their healthfulness can depend on how they’re prepared and what they’re paired with, as frying or heavy toppings may increase calories and fat content. Delicately textured and versatile, handmade corn tortillas are not only a nutritious foundation for meals but also a celebration of authentic culinary traditions.
