Is there really a difference between white vs yellow corn tortillas?  We live in Austin, so there are tortillas everywhere!  Whether it’s breakfast, lunch or dinner, it’s a staple.

I love to search ways to be healthy and people always say that corn is healthier than flour.  What is there a difference between white and yellow? Doing a little research, here is what I found about the difference between the 2.  A great article on the kitchn.com says :

The article in kitchn.com states:

Taste:

Taste?  My opinion is the White Corn tastes more similar to flour and the yellow corn tastes like corn. Many companies have a little bit of a smoky flavor which helps bring a little step up in taste. Plus, some research says yellow corn adds Beta Carotene which might even be healthier?

Calories:

Checking the difference between the white vs yellow corn tortillas from the same brand (I checked Mission)…they are exactly the same. 50 calories each, less than 1 fat gram, 1 protein and 10 carbs!

So, I can honestly say after doing research…corn vs flour is a huge yes, but between white and yellow corn?  There’s not much of a difference.  So ..enjoy!

Have you ever made your own tortillas?  These are really the best..and believe it or not, they are easy.  I found a few great supplies on ShopStyle:
