About Tortitas de maiz
Tortitas de Maíz, or corn fritters, are a traditional dish with roots in Latin American cuisine. Made primarily from cornmeal or masa harina, these small, golden patties are often combined with ingredients like eggs, flour, and milk, and fried until crispy on the outside and tender inside. They can be sweet or savory, sometimes enhanced with sugar, cinnamon, or cheese, and are commonly enjoyed as a snack, side dish, or breakfast item. Nutritionally, Tortitas de Maíz offer energy-rich carbohydrates from the cornmeal, along with small amounts of protein and fiber. They may also provide vitamins like B6 and magnesium found in corn. However, their healthiness depends on preparation—frying adds extra fat and calories, which may not be ideal for diets emphasizing lower fat intake. To make them lighter, consider baking or pan-searing with minimal oil for a tasty, healthier alternative.
