What is Corn Tortilla?
Corn tortillas are made from corn flour water and occasional sparse seasonings, such as lime or salt to accentuate the flavor. Tortillas are flat and about 1mm in height, though some handmade varieties are thicker and roughly 4mm. They are round and often 6 inches in diameter with a yellow or white color, depending on the type of corn kernel that the flour is made from. Corn tortillas fall apart easier than wheat tortillas, this is because corn is a gluten free grain and wheat has gluten, which holds a bread product together. Corn tortillas have a pleasant taste that is sweet, slightly nutty and tastes like corn. Corn tortillas are a common staple at meals in Central and South America.
