Yellow corn tortillas are a staple in Mexican cuisine, known for their rich, earthy flavor and versatility. Made from ground yellow corn, water, and occasionally a touch of salt, they're crafted using traditional nixtamalization—a process that enhances nutrient availability. These tortillas are naturally gluten-free, making them a popular choice for those with dietary restrictions. They are a good source of complex carbohydrates, fiber, and essential minerals like magnesium and phosphorus. Compared to flour tortillas, yellow corn tortillas are typically lower in calories and fat. However, their nutritional benefits can vary based on added ingredients or cooking methods, such as frying for chips or tacos. Perfect for enchiladas, quesadillas, or as a base for tacos, yellow corn tortillas bring authentic flavor to any meal while offering a wholesome option in moderation for a balanced diet.
