Tortilla, a staple in Mexican cuisine, is a versatile, round flatbread traditionally made from either corn or wheat flour. Corn tortillas, often used in dishes like tacos and enchiladas, are crafted from masa harina (ground corn treated with lime), offering a gluten-free option rich in fiber and essential nutrients like magnesium. Wheat tortillas, commonly used for burritos or wraps, are softer and higher in protein but may contain more calories and sodium, depending on added ingredients. Both types are low in fat but may become less healthy when fried or paired with high-calorie fillings. Tortillas are celebrated for their adaptability and cultural significance, providing a base for countless recipes while offering a source of carbohydrates for energy. Opt for whole-grain or minimally processed varieties to maximize their nutritional benefits.
