What it is
These are thin, round flatbreads made from masa harina, a corn flour. They are a staple in Mexican cuisine, offering a mild corn flavor and a slightly chewy texture.

How people cook with it
Corn tortillas are a fundamental ingredient for creating a wide array of Mexican dishes. They can be served as a side or transformed into a main course.
- Taco shells
- Enchilada bases
- Quesadilla wrappers
- Chips for dipping
To best enjoy these corn tortillas, warm them before serving. You can do this by heating them on a dry skillet or comal over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side until pliable. Alternatively, you can wrap a stack in a damp paper towel and microwave them for 30-60 seconds. Warmer tortillas are less likely to crack when folded or rolled, making them ideal for filling.
How it differs from similar foods
Yellow corn tortillas have a slightly more pronounced corn flavor compared to white corn tortillas. Their texture can also vary slightly, with some brands being softer and others a bit firmer, depending on the masa preparation.
How to keep the rest
To keep any unused tortillas fresh, store them in their original packaging or an airtight container at room temperature. For longer storage, they can be frozen. Ensure they are well-sealed to prevent them from drying out before use.
