Corn Tortilla

Cultural Context

Originating from ancient Mesoamerican cultures, corn tortillas are a staple in Mexican cuisine, traditionally made from nixtamalized corn. They serve as the foundation for countless dishes, from tacos to enchiladas, and symbolize the importance of maize in Mexican culture. Today, corn tortillas are enjoyed globally, with variations appearing in various cuisines, though the authentic version remains a beloved comfort food in Mexico.
