Corn Tortillas
Corn tortillas are a foundational Mexican staple made from masa harina, a dough produced by soaking corn in limewater (nixtamalization) to enhance nutrient absorption. These naturally gluten-free flatbreads offer more fiber and less fat than flour tortillas, with a characteristically earthy corn flavor and sturdy yet pliable texture ideal for tacos and enchiladas. Traditionally cooked on a clay comal or griddle, they develop subtle toasted notes while maintaining structural integrity for fillings.
