corn tortillas
Mexican maize wraps
Corn tortillas are thin, round flatbreads made from masa—ground corn treated with lime water.
They are a staple of Mexican and Central American cuisine, used for tacos, enchiladas, and tostadas.
Unlike flour tortillas, they have a distinctive earthy flavor and tend to crack when cold: Warm the corn tortillas before rolling them.
