Corn tortillas
Description
Corn tortillas are thin flatbreads with a golden-yellow color, a delicate, slightly grainy texture, and a subtle, nutty-sweet flavor characteristic of corn. They resemble small, flat breads that become flexible and aromatic when heated, making them ideal for wrapping fillings. The nutritional values of corn tortillas primarily include complex carbohydrates, a moderate amount of fiber, and small amounts of protein and fat, as well as B vitamins and minerals such as magnesium and phosphorus; they are naturally gluten-free if made from pure corn flour, which makes them a good option for those with gluten intolerance. Tortillas are perfect for tacos, enchiladas, quesadillas, wraps, and as an accompaniment to soups and salads. Store them in an airtight container in a cool, dry place or in the refrigerator for longer shelf life, and before use, heat them on a skillet or in the oven to regain their flexibility.
