About Handmade tortilla
Handmade tortillas are a staple of Mexican cuisine, made traditionally with simple, wholesome ingredients like masa harina (ground corn flour) and water, or wheat flour, salt, and a touch of fat for flour tortillas. These thin, pliable discs are cooked on a hot griddle, creating their signature soft texture and toasty flavor. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free and rich in whole grain nutrients, including fiber, magnesium, and B vitamins. Flour tortillas, while softer and more versatile, often contain more calories and fat, depending on the recipe. Both varieties are celebrated for their authenticity and minimal processing, making them preferable to commercial alternatives laden with preservatives. Pairing them with nutrient-dense fillings like lean proteins, beans, fresh vegetables, and avocados enhances their health benefits. While not inherently unhealthy, mindful portion sizes and toppings are key to enjoying this beloved food as part of a balanced diet.
