If you’re a Mexican cuisine fan then you probably enjoy the taste of a tortilla. Have you ever wondered whether corn or flour tortillas are the best choice? While many of us pay attention to the tortilla fillings like how much cheese, beans or cream is used, we often fail to take into account whether corn or flour is the best way to go.

Let’s kick things off with flour tortillas. True to their name, these tortillas use white flour which packs plenty of protein. These tortillas tend to be larger than their corn cousins, allowing you to add more ingredients to the filling. Flour is also rich in iron as well as in calcium, the latter helping keep the bones strong and healthy.

Corn is often deemed a whole grain, meaning it has nutritional value. On top of that, corn has magnesium which assists with type 2 diabetes, regulating blood pressure, and may even help fight the effects of depression. Furthermore, corn has fiber, which lowers blood sugar levels and also assists with bowel movements. Corn tortillas have less fat plus fewer carbs and calories than flour tortillas. However, corn tortillas may bot pack the same level of protein as flour tortillas.

Now that you have a basic idea of what flour and corn tortillas are all about, you can make an informed decision on which one works best for your next tortilla meal.

You may have come across the term “nixtamal”, but have you ever been curious as to its origins or how it relates tortillas? The word has a deep history going back to the Aztecs and it was meant to detail the procedure which uses partly cooked and lime-soaked corn. The Aztecs would explore riverbeds in search of limestone rock which was used as a corn grinder of sorts. This process would eventually come to be known as nixtamalization.

Nixtamal can be ground into masa to make foods like tortillas, tamales, or finely ground patted discs. The Spanish word ‘masa’ is the name given to describe the corn dough. Nixtamal also provides flexibility since it can be kept in its full form to make pozole, perhaps better known as hominy.

The many benefits reaped by nixtamal were discovered by the Aztecs using a tried and true approach: experimenting with it. They quickly noticed it served as an energy source and may have enhanced their spiritual alertness without negatively affecting the digestive system. As science has evolved exponentially since the days of the Aztecs, the amino acid niacin found in nixtamal may be beneficial in the reduction of bad cholesterol, getting rid of toxins, and cell repair.

Today, it’s all about green chile chicken enchiladas, a great way to welcome the arrival of Humpday. Here we go!

• Chopped cilantro
• A cup of your favorite tomatillo salsa
• Sliced onion
• A cup of your favorite green enchilada sauce
• Sliced radishes
• A small can of diced, roasted green chiles
• Crumbled queso fresco
• A ¼ cup of heavy cream
• Two cups of Monterey Jack cheese
• Vegetable oil
• Two cups of shredded rotisserie chicken
• Eight corn tortillas

Begin by placing the green chiles, tomatillo salsa, heavy cream, and enchilada sauce in a blender and then mixing until the ingredients turn into a smooth sauce. Set it aside for the time being.

Using a frying pan over high heat, pour sufficient vegetable oil so that the corn tortillas can be submerged, it should be roughly half an inch. Once the oil is hot enough, use tongs to dip the tortillas, going one at a time. Fry them until they become pliable and sturdy. Carefully shake them to get rid of excess oil and then place in a shallow dish. Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas.

Grab a small handful of chicken and Monterey Jack cheese and place them at one end of the tortilla before rolling it up and then placing the tortilla with its seam side down in a baking dish. Repeat for the rest of the tortillas. Pour some sauce over the enchiladas and then cover them with whatever Jack cheese you have left.

Place the baking dish in an oven, turn up the heat to 350 degrees, and bake until the cheese has bubbled and turns brown. Use the ingredients above for garnish and serve hot.
