A Little History
The tortilla has been a staple food of the peoples of Mesoamerica for more than 3,000 years. Long before the arrival of Europeans in the Americas, civilizations such as the Maya and the Aztecs were already making tortillas from nixtamalized corn, making them the foundation of their daily diet. Today, tortillas continue to accompany almost every meal in Mexico and are considered one of the country's greatest culinary symbols.
Did You Know?
Did you know that the average Mexican eats more than 70 kg of tortillas every year? In Mexico, tortillas accompany almost every meal, from breakfast to dinner, and are much more than a side dish—they are an essential part of the country's culture and culinary identity.

Quick Recipe
Homemade Corn Tortillas
Ingredients
- 2 cups Maseca White Corn Flour
- 1½ cups warm water
- A pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions
- Mix the flour, warm water and salt until you obtain a smooth, soft dough.
- Knead for 2 to 3 minutes until the dough is smooth and easy to shape.
- Cover the dough and let it rest for about 30 minutes. This allows the flour to fully absorb the water, producing softer, more flexible tortillas that are easier to press.
- Divide the dough into small balls of equal size.
- Press each ball using a tortilla press or roll it out carefully between two sheets of plastic.
- Cook on a hot skillet or comal, without adding oil, for approximately 45 to 60 seconds on each side, turning only when the tortilla releases easily.
How Do You Know the Dough Is Ready?
The dough should be soft, smooth and should not stick to your hands. If it feels too dry, add a few drops of warm water. If it is too wet, add a little more Maseca. Properly hydrated dough produces softer, more flexible tortillas that are less likely to crack during cooking.
Mexican Kitchen Tip
Once cooked, place the tortillas immediately inside a clean kitchen towel or a tortilla warmer. The steam keeps them warm, soft and flexible for much longer, just as they are traditionally kept in Mexican homes and taquerías.
Storage & Trust

- Keep away from direct sunlight
