About Tortilla shells
Tortilla shells are a versatile staple in Mexican cuisine, traditionally made from corn or wheat flour. Corn tortillas are crafted from masa harina, a dough derived from dried corn treated with lime, while wheat tortillas combine flour, water, and fat for a softer texture. Naturally low in fat and cholesterol, tortillas are rich in fiber and essential minerals like magnesium, especially when made from whole grains. They serve as the base for dishes such as tacos, burritos, and enchiladas. However, some store-bought varieties may include added preservatives or high sodium levels, and fried versions like chips or crispy shells can significantly increase calorie and fat content. Choosing whole-grain or minimally processed options ensures a healthier choice, making tortilla shells an excellent vehicle for nutrient-packed fillings like vegetables, beans, and lean proteins.
