About Fried corn tortillas
Fried corn tortillas are a versatile and flavorful staple originating from Mexican cuisine. Made from ground corn, water, and sometimes a hint of salt, these tortillas offer a naturally gluten-free base rich in fiber and essential nutrients like manganese and magnesium. Once fried, their texture transforms into a crispy delight often used for tostadas, chips, or tacos. While frying enhances their taste, it also increases calorie and fat content due to the absorbed oil, which can be a less healthy aspect if consumed in excess. Tortillas fried in healthy oils, such as avocado or olive oil, are a better option for those seeking mindful indulgence. Pairing with fresh toppings like salsa, beans, or veggies can boost the nutrient profile, making them part of a balanced meal. Fried corn tortillas celebrate traditions while offering an adaptable canvas for nutritious or indulgent culinary creations.
