Corn Tortillas

Before its counterpart, corn was used to make the flat, edible holder for taco fillings. Sweet and small, this type of tortilla packs a mouth-watering punch. This is because corn tortillas are made with masa harina, a mix of finely ground corn flour and lime. Because of this, tortillas are a healthier choice than flour because they are gluten-free and lower in calories! However, corn tortillas break more easily. For this reason, corn tortillas are made smaller in size for a more sturdy hard or softshell.
