A tortilla is a form of baked bread which is majorly prepared from corn and wheat and consumed mostly in Spain and Mexico. The use of corn in the preparation of tortilla enhances its nutritional value as corn is a rich source of proteins, vitamins, and minerals. Vitamin B controls the vital metabolism of cells. The process of production of tortilla from corn involves the soaking of corn in the limewater, and this process helps in the availability of Vitamin B after its consumption. Tortilla has a potential application as a bread replacer as it is found to be more nutritious. It is consumed as snacks in the form of ready-to-eat baked chips and tortilla shells. It has multi-purpose applications in the preparation of various food dishes.
Tortilla chips have gained their popularity as a potential snack and as an alcohol accompaniment. Tortilla chips are found to have become a staple snack for consumers in various regions based on the unique formulation and flavor of the product. The strong performance of the retail sector and product promotions have played a vital role in increasing the sales of tortilla via supermarkets/hypermarkets and specialty stores. More than 50% sales of tortilla chips were observed to have been accomplished through supermarkets and grocery stores. Healthier varieties available in tortilla chips such as whole-grain corn have increased the demand even more. Tortilla chips are also considered as the most popular dip chip based on the ?better-for-you' dip chip property.
