About Tortilla de maiz
Tortilla de Maíz, or corn tortilla, is a staple of Mexican cuisine with origins dating back to ancient Mesoamerica. Made from masa harina, a type of corn flour treated with lime through nixtamalization, these tortillas are naturally gluten-free. A typical tortilla contains simple ingredients like corn flour, water, and salt. Low in fat and calories, they are a healthy carbohydrate option, providing fiber, essential minerals like magnesium, and energy for active lifestyles. However, their nutritional benefits can vary depending on portion size and what they are paired with, as toppings or fillings may add fats and sodium. With no added sugars or preservatives in traditional recipes, they are an excellent choice for balanced meals. Tortilla de Maíz is versatile and forms the foundation for countless dishes, such as tacos and enchiladas, making it an integral part of both cultural heritage and healthy eating practices.
