About Corn taco shells
Corn taco shells are a staple of Mexican cuisine, traditionally crafted from ground corn, water, and lime. Offering a mild, nutty flavor and a satisfying crunch, they are an essential base for an array of fillings. Typically made from masa harina, a type of corn flour treated with lime to unlock essential nutrients, corn taco shells are naturally gluten-free, making them suitable for those with gluten sensitivities. Their fiber content supports digestion, and they are lower in calories compared to flour-based alternatives. However, some varieties may contain added salts, oils, or preservatives, which could impact nutritional value. For a healthier option, look for brands with minimal processing or consider making them at home. Versatile and delicious, corn taco shells align with traditional cooking methods while providing a convenient and nutritious choice for tacos and other recipes.
