About Small tortilla shells

Small tortilla shells are a versatile staple of Mexican cuisine, traditionally made from either corn or wheat flour. With a soft, pliable texture, they serve as the perfect base for tacos, wraps, and other creative dishes. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free and lower in fat and calories, while wheat tortillas often provide a softer texture and slightly higher fiber content. Fortified versions may also offer added vitamins and minerals. Depending on the recipe, tortilla shells can include basic ingredients like flour, water, salt, and oil, though some varieties may contain additional preservatives or higher sodium levels. They’re a good source of carbohydrates, providing energy, but should be enjoyed in moderation for those watching their calorie intake. Pairing them with fresh vegetables and lean proteins can create balanced, nutrient-packed meals that maintain the traditional flavors of this beloved food staple.
