About Soft tortilla shell

Soft tortilla shells are a staple of Mexican cuisine, traditionally made from corn or wheat flour. These versatile wraps are crafted by combining flour, water, and fat, such as oil or lard, then cooking them on a griddle. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free and are often praised for their whole grain properties, providing dietary fiber and essential nutrients like magnesium. Wheat tortillas, while softer and more pliable, may contain added fats and sodium depending on the recipe. They tend to be higher in calories compared to their corn counterparts. Soft tortilla shells offer the benefit of being a low-fat option when consumed in moderation, with potential for added healthfulness based on fillings. However, larger or pre-packaged varieties can include preservatives or sodium, so checking labels is key. Whether used for tacos, wraps, or enchiladas, these shells bring authentic flavor and flexibility to a variety of meals.
