About Taco shell
Taco shells are a staple of Mexican cuisine, traditionally made from ground corn or flour shaped into a folded or curved form. Corn taco shells are often prepared by baking or frying masa dough, while flour versions blend wheat flour, water, and fat for a softer texture. Known for their versatility, they serve as the base for a variety of fillings, from proteins like beef, chicken, and beans to fresh vegetables, salsa, and cheese. Corn taco shells provide fiber and essential nutrients like magnesium and potassium, but fried varieties may be higher in fats and calories. Flour versions tend to have more carbohydrates and fewer nutrients than their corn counterparts. Available in hard or soft forms, taco shells can fit into balanced diets when paired with wholesome ingredients, but moderation is key for managing sodium and fat content in store-bought or fried options.
