The large corn tortilla is a versatile staple of Mexican cuisine, traditionally made from masa harina (corn flour) and water, resulting in its distinct flavor and texture. Naturally gluten-free, it serves as the base for numerous dishes such as tacos, enchiladas, and quesadillas. Corn tortillas are rich in fiber and essential nutrients like magnesium and B vitamins, making them a wholesome option for many diets. Compared to flour tortillas, they are typically lower in calories and fat, but portion size matters, especially for larger variants. While generally a healthy choice, some store-bought versions may contain added preservatives or sodium, so checking labels is key. Great for wrapping, grilling, or topping, the large corn tortilla is beloved for its authenticity, adaptability, and contribution to balanced meals when paired with lean proteins and fresh vegetables.
