About Soft shell

Soft shell is a delicate and pliable tortilla commonly made from wheat or corn, serving as a staple in Mexican cuisine. Known for its versatility, it is often used to create tacos, burritos, or wraps filled with a variety of ingredients such as proteins, vegetables, and flavorful sauces. Nutritionally, soft shells are a source of carbohydrates and provide energy for the body. The corn variety is often gluten-free, catering to dietary restrictions, while the wheat version has a softer texture and higher fiber content depending on processing. Soft shells may also contain added fats or preservatives in processed versions, making homemade or whole-grain options a healthier choice. Their ability to hold nutrient-rich fillings like lean proteins and fresh vegetables makes them an excellent option for balanced meals, though portion size should be mindful to avoid excess calories in larger servings or highly filled preparations.
