About Tortilla maize

Tortilla Maize is a traditional flatbread made from ground maize, or corn, and is a staple of Mexican cuisine. Known for its simple ingredients—primarily masa harina (corn flour) and water—it offers a versatile base for dishes like tacos, enchiladas, and quesadillas. Rich in carbohydrates, it provides energy while being naturally gluten-free, making it suitable for individuals with gluten sensitivities. Tortilla maize is also a source of fiber and key nutrients such as magnesium, phosphorus, and B vitamins, which support digestive health and energy metabolism. Typically low in fat, the nutritional value can vary depending on preparation methods; frying or topping with high-fat ingredients increases calorie content. Opting for whole-grain versions elevates fiber intake, promoting heart health and sustained energy levels. Widely enjoyed worldwide, tortilla maize combines cultural heritage with balanced nutrition for diverse diets.
