Corn tortilla: verdict by goal
The details
Blood sugar: Whole-grain masa, smaller and lower-GI than a flour tortilla — the better taco/wrap base. Two small ones with a protein-and-veg filling, not a stack.
How to choose: Just corn masa + lime (nixtamalized); no added oils.
How to use it: Street-taco style — small, protein-forward, lots of salsa/veg.
How to store: Fridge; warm before use.
Sensible portion: 2 small, occasional
