Food City Yellow Corn Tortilla Rounds
What it is
These are pre-cooked, flat, circular corn tortillas. They are made from masa harina, which is finely ground corn flour. The yellow corn variety gives them a distinct color and a slightly different flavor profile compared to white corn tortillas. They are a convenient pantry staple for quick meal preparation.
How people cook with it
These versatile rounds are perfect for creating a variety of dishes. They can be used as a base or a topping in many recipes.
- Base for mini pizzas
- Topping for casseroles
- Crisped for snacks

To use, you can warm them gently in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until pliable. For crispy chips, bake or fry them until golden brown. They are ideal for making small, individual pizzas by topping them with your favorite ingredients and baking until the cheese is melted and bubbly. They can also be layered into baked dips or casseroles, adding a corn flavor and a soft texture.
