About Yellow corn tortilla

Yellow corn tortillas are a traditional staple of Mexican cuisine made primarily from masa harina, a type of flour produced from ground corn treated with lime water. Known for their slightly sweet, earthy flavor and tender texture, they are commonly used in dishes like tacos, enchiladas, tostadas, and quesadillas. Naturally gluten-free, yellow corn tortillas are a great option for those with gluten sensitivities. They are a source of dietary fiber, essential vitamins like B-complex, and minerals such as magnesium and phosphorus. However, their health benefits can vary depending on preparation methods, as frying or pairing them with high-fat toppings can increase calorie content. Generally low in fat, when enjoyed in moderation and prepared simply, yellow corn tortillas are a nutritious, versatile choice for a balanced diet.
