The Simple Brilliance of Corn Tortillas

Corn, water and lime. That's it. That is everything that's in Yoli's James-Beard winning corn tortillas.

Well, those are the ingredients that make up the tortillas, but the care and craft that go into each step of the tortilla-making process are what make these tortillas so delicious and healthy. The soaked, cooked corn kernels are simply ground into masa. And did you know? There are two sides to traditional corn tortillas, one with a "little belly," the puff made when the tortillas are cooked. That puff soaks up the juices of what you've stuffed into the tortilla ... and now that you know, you can look for that little belly every time you make tacos!
