What Is Tortilla Made Of?
Tortillas are typically made from masa harina, a type of corn flour that has been treated with slaked lime. Water is added to the masa harina to form a dough, which is then shaped into flat rounds. The rounds are cooked on a griddle or comal until lightly browned and slightly puffy. Some tortillas are made with wheat flour instead of corn masa, but they are less common in traditional Mexican cuisine.
