Toasted tortillas are a versatile staple of Mexican cuisine, offering a simple yet flavorful base for various dishes. At their core, tortillas are made from corn or wheat flour, water, salt, and sometimes oil, which are rolled into thin discs. When toasted, they gain a slightly crispy texture and enhanced nutty flavor, making them ideal for wraps, tacos, or tostadas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free and lower in calories compared to wheat-based options, making them a healthier choice for many. Additionally, toasted tortillas provide dietary fiber and essential nutrients like magnesium and phosphorus, especially if they’re made from whole-grain ingredients. However, their health value can depend on preparation methods—excessive toasting with added fats or oils can increase calorie content. Pairing toasted tortillas with fresh, nutrient-rich fillings maintains their balanced appeal, making them a satisfying option in moderation.
