Soft Corn Tortillas
What it is
These are round, flat unleavened breads made from masa harina, a type of corn flour. They are a staple in many cuisines, particularly Mexican cooking. Their texture is soft and pliable when fresh, and they have a distinct corn flavor. They are typically cooked on a griddle or comal until lightly browned and warmed through. This package contains a generous amount for multiple meals.

To enjoy them at their best, gently warm them before serving. You can do this on a dry skillet or griddle over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, until they are soft and pliable. Alternatively, you can wrap a stack in a damp paper towel and microwave them for a short time. Avoid overcooking, which can make them brittle. They are perfect for filling with your favorite ingredients and folding or rolling.
