About Tornados

Tornados are a savory, cylindrical snack often found in convenience stores and fast food menus. Originating from the fusion of Tex-Mex and American fare, they typically consist of a crispy, seasoned tortilla wrapping filled with ingredients such as cheese, meats like chicken or beef, and sometimes vegetables or bold spices. Their portability and quick cooking time make them a popular choice for on-the-go eating. While Tornados can provide protein depending on the filling, they are also high in sodium, saturated fats, and refined carbs, which may not align with a balanced diet. Some varieties include veggies or beans, offering fiber and nutrients, but they tend to be minimal compared to other whole food options. Perfect for a quick indulgence, moderation is key if incorporating Tornados into a health-conscious lifestyle.
