Homemade tortillas are soft, versatile flatbreads traditionally found in Mexican cuisine. Made from simple ingredients like flour, water, salt, and sometimes a fat such as lard or vegetable oil, these staples have been enjoyed for centuries. Corn tortillas, which use masa harina, are a gluten-free alternative to flour-based versions. They're a rich source of carbohydrates and provide a fresh, preservative-free option compared to store-bought varieties. Homemade tortillas can be a healthier choice as you control the ingredients and avoid unnecessary additives. However, their nutritional profile varies with the type of fat used, impacting calorie and saturated fat content. While typically paired with nutrient-dense fillings, tortillas themselves contribute fiber and essential B vitamins. Whether wrapped around vegetables, protein, or enjoyed plain, their versatility makes them an integral part of many dishes while adding warmth and authenticity to your meals.
