corn tortillas

Corn tortillas are thin, flat discs made from ground dried corn, or masa, commonly used as a staple in Mexican cuisine. They are crafted by mixing corn harina with water and lime, then kneading into a dough, which is shaped into small balls and pressed into thin rounds before being cooked on a griddle. Known for their hearty flavor and pliability, corn tortillas serve as the foundation for various dishes like tacos, burritos, and quesadillas. They are naturally gluten-free, nutritious, and offer a traditional taste that highlights the rich culinary heritage of Mexico.
