About Mexican tortilla
Originating from traditional Mexican cuisine, tortillas are thin, round flatbreads made primarily from either corn masa or wheat flour. Corn tortillas, a staple dating back to ancient Mesoamerican cultures, are naturally gluten-free and crafted from ground corn treated with limewater, offering an excellent source of fiber, magnesium, and vitamin B6. Wheat tortillas, introduced later, are softer and more pliable, but they often contain refined flour, which is lower in fiber. Tortillas are versatile, serving as the base for tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and more. Nutritional aspects vary; plain tortillas can be a wholesome choice, but store-bought varieties may include added fats, sodium, or preservatives. When consumed modestly, they are a healthy energy source, but calorie-conscious individuals should monitor portion sizes, especially with larger or enriched versions. Homemade or whole-grain options provide a fresher, nutrient-dense alternative for enjoying this beloved culinary staple.
