Reheating Corn Tortillas

CELEBRATE AUTHENTIC MEXICAN FOOD

Corn tortillas are the heart & soul of real Mexican food. The process we use to make our tortillas is the same as it was in ancient times in Mexico, using a process called Nixtamalization. This process unlocks the nutritional power of corn & allows for just 2 ingredients to be used when creating them; Australian-grown corn & just a pinch of salt, that’s it! We do this all from scratch at our tortilleria in Melbourne & we absolutely love it. We care deeply about real food & preserving traditions, & the result is a corn tortilla that is full of taste, high in nutrition & without any unnecessary ingredients being added. All you need to do is warm them up before serving & it’s an easy process that will get your taste buds dancing!

REHEATING OUR TORTILLAS IS QUICK & EASY

STEP 1: HEAT

Hot Pan
Heat a dry frying pan or grill (no oil needed).
Warm each tortilla for 10–20 seconds per side until hot, soft & fragrant.

Microwave
Wrap tortillas in a paper towel & microwave for about 20 seconds per tortilla, up to 5 at a time.

Sandwich Press
Place tortillas in a hot sandwich press & close the lid.
When you see steam, they’re ready.

STEP 2: KEEP WARM

Wrap tortillas in a towel or foil until serving.
Steam keeps tortillas soft & pliable — keep it trapped until ready to eat.

JUST 2 INGREDIENTS

Our nixtamal corn tortillas are made using just 2 ingredients; Australian grown corn & a pinch of sea salt. We didn’t need to add anything else, so we didn’t add it. This makes a healthier tortilla with real nutritional benefits that can be enjoyed by more people.
