Taco tortillas are a staple in Mexican cuisine, serving as the foundation for countless dishes. Traditionally made from corn or wheat flour, they are crafted by combining flour with water, salt, and sometimes a small amount of fat, then rolled and cooked on a griddle. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free and lower in calories, making them a nutritious choice rich in fiber, magnesium, and antioxidants. Wheat tortillas, on the other hand, are often softer and sturdier, offering more protein but sometimes including added fats or preservatives, affecting their calorie and fat content. Both varieties are versatile and pair well with lean proteins, fresh vegetables, and flavorful spices for a balanced meal. However, portions and toppings should be considered, as fillings high in saturated fat or sodium can reduce overall health benefits. Perfect for tacos, quesadillas, or wraps, tortillas are a delicious and adaptable food enjoyed worldwide.
