Corn tortillas are essential in the Mexican cuisine. Usually made of 3-4 simple ingredients (depending of the type of tortilla) such as corn flour, water and salt making them a naturally gluten free food.

A corn tortilla contains fiber, whole grains, and is low on fat and calories.

Basic ingredients give the tortilla a light simple flavour that allows them to be pair with almost any type of food. Generally eaten hot with a filling of chicken, meat, cheese or vegetables. It looks like an unleavened flatbread, its round and can fold softly into a taco or roll for a “flauta”. Also, you can fry/bake it to make hard tacos or chop them to make corn-chips or “totopos”.

Yellow corn tortillas are made with white corn kernels and have almost an oaky flavour when heated up. White tortillas tend to be softer because they have higher moisture content which makes them easier to roll and fold without cracking or breaking. Ideal for flautas or enchiladas.
