About Tortilla corn
Tortilla corn, a staple in Mexican and Central American cuisine, is a thin, flatbread made from masa harina (corn flour) and water. It has been a dietary cornerstone for centuries, steeped in tradition and cultural significance. Naturally gluten-free, corn tortillas are a great source of complex carbohydrates, providing energy without unnecessary additives. They also contain fiber, which supports digestion, and small amounts of important nutrients like magnesium and B vitamins. While generally low in fat and calories, the healthiness of corn tortillas depends on preparation methods—store-bought varieties may include preservatives or added sodium, while fresh, homemade versions are often purer. Corn tortillas are versatile and typically accompany dishes like tacos, enchiladas, or tostadas. For a healthier choice, pair them with nutrient-rich fillings like vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats to create a balanced meal. Moderation is key if fried or paired with heavy ingredients.
