About Tortilla
A tortilla is a thin, round flatbread made primarily from either corn or wheat flour. Originating from Mesoamerican cuisine, the corn tortilla dates back thousands of years and remains a staple in Mexican and Central American diets. Wheat flour tortillas, introduced later through European influence, are widely used today. Tortillas serve as a versatile base for numerous dishes like tacos, burritos, wraps, and quesadillas. Nutritionally, they are a good source of energy due to their carbohydrate content, with corn tortillas often providing more fiber and fewer calories compared to their wheat counterparts. Whole grain versions can offer additional nutrients like vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber. However, watch for added fats, sodium, and preservatives in some commercially produced tortillas, which may reduce their overall health value. Choosing fresh or whole-grain varieties can make tortillas a healthy and delicious dietary choice.
