About Homemade tortilla shell
Homemade tortilla shells are a cornerstone of Mexican and Latin American cuisine, known for their simplicity and versatility. Typically crafted from all-purpose flour, water, salt, and a fat source like vegetable oil or lard, these flatbreads are rolled thin and cooked on a hot skillet. While traditional flour tortillas are soft and pliable, corn-based ones offer a gluten-free alternative and more authentic flavor in Mexican dishes. Homemade versions allow for control over additives and preservatives, often making them a healthier choice compared to store-bought options. They are a good source of carbohydrates for energy but can be high in calories depending on the fat content used. Utilizing whole-grain or alternate flours can enhance their nutritional profile. Enjoyed with a variety of fillings, tortilla shells represent a key staple in balanced, flavorful meals from tacos to wraps.
