Yellow Corn Tortilla

Corn tortillas are essential in the Mexican cuisine. Usually made of 3-4 simple ingredients (depending of the type of tortilla) such as corn flour, water and salt making them a naturally gluten free food.

A corn tortilla contains fiber, whole grains, and is low on fat and calories.

Basic ingredients give the tortilla a light simple flavour that allows them to be pair with almost any type of food. Generally eaten hot with a filling of chicken, meat, cheese or vegetables. It looks like an unleavened flatbread, its round and can fold softly into a taco or roll for a “flauta”. Also, you can fry/bake it to make hard tacos or chop them to make corn-chips or “totopos”.

Yellow corn tortillas are made from yellow corn kernels with a stronger corn flavour. Nutrient wise, yellow corn have beta-carotene (that turns into vit A during digestion) which gives them a slighter higher nutritional value than white corn. Ideal for corn-chips and tacos.
