About Street tortillas
Street tortillas are a staple of Mexican cuisine, cherished for their versatility and authentic taste. Made primarily from masa harina (corn flour) or wheat flour, they are often cooked on a griddle until soft and slightly toasted. These tortillas are the foundation for tacos, quesadillas, and other handheld dishes. Nutritionally, corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, low in fat, and provide dietary fiber along with essential minerals like magnesium. They are a healthier choice compared to their wheat counterparts, which may have higher calories and gluten content. However, the nutritional value can be affected by preparation methods; frying increases fat and calorie content. While minimally processed street tortillas offer wholesome benefits, their use should be balanced as part of a varied diet, especially if paired with high-fat toppings or fillings. Enjoy their simplicity and cultural richness in moderation for a satisfying and flavorful meal experience.
