Tortilija, commonly known as tortilla, is a thin, flatbread originating from Mesoamerican cuisine, particularly Mexico. Traditionally made from maize flour, modern variations often use wheat flour. This versatile staple serves as the base for dishes such as tacos, burritos, and quesadillas. Tortilija is naturally low in fat, providing a good source of carbohydrates for energy. Whole wheat versions offer added fiber and nutrients, making them a healthier choice compared to refined flour options. While generally low in calories, store-bought varieties may contain added salt, preservatives, or unhealthy fats, so checking labels is recommended. Homemade versions offer greater control over ingredients. Tortilijas are gluten-free when made with corn, catering to those with gluten sensitivities. Balanced consumption, paired with lean proteins, vegetables, and healthy fats, maximizes their nutritional value within a well-rounded diet.
