Tortillas de Maseca

Cultural Context

Originating from Mexico, tortillas made from Maseca (instant masa harina) are a staple in many households. They serve as the foundation for countless dishes, from tacos to enchiladas, and are often made fresh daily. The convenience of Maseca has allowed for a quicker preparation of this beloved food, making it accessible to many outside of Mexico.
