What it is
These are thin, round flatbreads made from masa harina, which is finely ground corn flour. They are a staple in Mexican cuisine, offering a mild corn flavor and a slightly chewy texture. The white corn variety provides a subtle difference in taste and appearance compared to yellow corn tortillas. They are typically cooked on a griddle or comal until warmed through and slightly pliable.

To best enjoy these tortillas, warm them gently 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 flexible. Alternatively, you can wrap a stack in a damp paper towel and microwave them for a short period. Warming prevents them from cracking when folded or rolled, making them ideal for filling and eating.
