About Fried tortillas
Fried tortillas are a crispy, flavorful dish originating from Mexican cuisine, celebrated for their versatility and convenience. Made by frying corn or flour tortillas in oil until golden and crunchy, they serve as the base for popular snacks like nachos or tostadas. Traditionally, tortillas are crafted from simple ingredients: corn masa for corn tortillas or a mix of flour, water, and fat for flour tortillas. While frying adds irresistible texture, it also increases calorie and fat content due to the oil used. Corn tortillas offer some nutritional benefits, such as being a good source of fiber and essential nutrients, including magnesium and potassium. However, fried versions can be high in saturated fats, especially if cooked in less healthy oils. Pairing with lean proteins, fresh vegetables, and light sauces can make them a more balanced choice while satisfying your craving for a crunchy treat.
