About Medium tortilla shell
Medium tortilla shells are a versatile staple commonly associated with Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine. Typically made from either wheat flour or corn, these soft flatbreads serve as the base for tacos, burritos, wraps, and more. Flour tortillas generally contain ingredients like flour, water, oil, salt, and sometimes leavening agents, while corn tortillas feature ground maize treated through a process called nixtamalization. Nutritionally, they provide a source of carbohydrates and fiber, particularly if made with whole grains, while offering minimal fat. However, varieties with added oils or those served alongside rich fillings may be higher in calories. Tortilla shells are naturally low in sugar and often free of cholesterol. Moderate consumption can be part of a balanced diet, especially when paired with nutrient-rich fillings like vegetables, beans, and lean meats. For those seeking gluten-free options, corn tortillas are a popular choice.
