Corn Tortillas
Good nutritional profile
Plain corn tortillas made from nixtamalized corn masa, values as sold.
Thin flatbreads made from nixtamalized corn masa, the staple bread of Mexico, used for tacos, enchiladas and tostadas. A 50 g portion (about two small tortillas) gives about 110 kcal, 3 g of protein and 3 g of fiber, with useful phosphorus and very little sodium. Corn tortillas contain no wheat and have less fat and fewer calories than flour tortillas; the lime used to treat the corn adds some calcium.
