Taco tortillas are soft, round flatbreads traditionally made from corn or flour, originating from Mexican cuisine. Corn tortillas often contain only masa harina (corn flour) and water, while flour tortillas typically include wheat flour, water, salt, and sometimes fat. They serve as a versatile base for tacos, providing a foundation for protein, veggies, and flavorful fillings. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free and contain fiber, aiding in digestion, while flour tortillas may offer higher energy due to their carbohydrate content but often include added fats and sodium. The nutritional profile varies depending on size and preparation; smaller, whole-grain or corn versions tend to be healthier options. While they can provide essential energy and nutrients, monitoring portion size and pairing them with fresh, nutrient-rich fillings is key to maintaining a balanced meal. Taco tortillas are a staple for creating delicious, customizable dishes that reflect the vibrant flavors of Mexican cooking.
