They are crafted from corn masa, a traditional dough used for many Mexican dishes. The tortillas are thin and round, designed for easy folding and filling. They offer a classic corn flavor and a slightly chewy texture that holds up well to various preparations.
Corn tortillas are a versatile staple in many kitchens, perfect for a wide range of meals.
To best enjoy these tortillas, warm them before serving. You can do this by heating them briefly in a dry skillet over medium heat until they are soft and pliable, or by wrapping a stack in a damp paper towel and microwaving for about 30 seconds. Warming prevents them from cracking when folded or rolled. They are ideal for building tacos, layering into enchiladas, or using as a base for dishes like chilaquiles. Their flexibility makes them easy to work with.
They tend to be a bit more delicate and can sometimes break if handled too roughly when cold, but they soften beautifully when warmed. Their texture is less elastic than flour versions, providing a different mouthfeel.
After opening the package, store any unused tortillas in an airtight container or resealable bag in the refrigerator. This helps to maintain their freshness and prevent them from drying out. They can typically be kept this way for several days.
