Romero's Whole Grain Yellow Corn Tortillas
What it is
These are thin, round flatbreads made from whole grain yellow corn masa. They are a staple in many cuisines, offering a slightly nutty flavor and a tender texture. The whole grain aspect means they retain more of the corn's natural goodness. They are typically cooked on a griddle or pan before serving.

To enjoy them at their best, warm them before serving. You can do this by heating them on a dry skillet or griddle over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side until pliable and slightly puffed. Alternatively, wrap a stack in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30-60 seconds. This process makes them soft and easy to fold without cracking, ideal for filling and eating.
