About Tortilla shell
Tortilla shells are a staple in Mexican cuisine, traditionally made from either corn or flour. Corn tortillas, originating from ancient Mesoamerican cultures, are crafted using masa harina, a special corn flour treated with lime. Flour tortillas, commonly used in northern Mexico and Tex-Mex dishes, are made from wheat flour, water, and sometimes fat such as lard or oil. Both types are versatile, used as wraps for tacos, burritos, enchiladas, and more. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free and low in fat, offering a source of fiber, magnesium, and essential vitamins. Flour tortillas, while softer and more pliable, may contain higher calories and often less fiber due to refined flour and added fats. Whole wheat or low-carb varieties are healthier options. Tortillas can be part of a balanced diet when paired with nutritious fillings like lean proteins, fresh vegetables, and healthy fats.
