About Corn taco tortillas
Corn taco tortillas are a staple in Mexican cuisine, crafted traditionally from masa harina, a type of corn flour made from nixtamalized corn. This process enhances the tortillas' flavor and nutritional value by making nutrients like niacin more accessible. Typically, they are made with three simple ingredients: corn flour, water, and sometimes a pinch of salt. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, making them an excellent choice for individuals with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease. They are also lower in calories and fat compared to flour tortillas and offer fiber, vitamins, and minerals like magnesium. However, some store-bought versions may include preservatives or added sodium, which can detract from their healthiness. Pairing corn tortillas with lean proteins, fresh vegetables, and healthy fats can result in a balanced, wholesome meal that aligns with many dietary preferences.
