About Tortillas de maiz

Tortillas de Maíz, or corn tortillas, are a staple in Mexican cuisine, made primarily from masa harina (corn flour) and water. They are naturally gluten-free and a good source of carbohydrates, providing energy with minimal fat content. Corn tortillas are rich in fiber, magnesium, and essential nutrients from whole corn, making them a healthier option compared to refined bread. However, their nutritional value can vary depending on preparation and portion sizes, especially if fried or paired with high-fat toppings. Traditionally used as the base for tacos, enchiladas, and quesadillas, Tortillas de Maíz offer versatility and authentic flavor while supporting balanced meals when paired with fresh vegetables and lean proteins.
