our process: crafting the perfect tortillas

  • We partner with dedicated organic farmers across the United States to source the highest-quality, non-GMO corn, ensuring purity, sustainability, and rich, natural flavor in every tortilla.

  • Our process begins with cooking the corn in lime, just as it has been done for generations. This ancient technique enhances flavor, improves nutrition, and prepares the corn for the next crucial step.

  • After cooking, the corn is rinsed and ground using a volcanic stone mill, preserving its natural texture and flavor while creating the perfect masa—the foundation of an authentic tortilla.

  • The freshly made masa is rolled out and baked in a 600-degree oven, ensuring each tortilla is soft yet sturdy, ready to complement any dish.

  • Once baked, our tortillas are packaged for retail, food service, and industry partners, ensuring freshness and quality from our kitchen to yours.

  • For our tortilla chips, we take it a step further. Our tortillas are hand-cut and fried to crisp, golden perfection, then packaged and sealed, ready for our retail partners.

    By combining generations of tradition with modern excellence, we create tortillas and tortilla chips that deliver unparalleled flavor, quality, and authenticity in every bite.

 FAQs

  • Nixtamal aka hominy is what happens when corn levels up! It’s an ancient process where dried corn takes a luxurious soak in alkaline water (usually lime) to unlock its full potential—making it more nutritious, easier to grind, and way more flavorful. This magical transformation is what gives real tortillas their signature taste and texture. No nixtamal, no legit tortillas!

  • You bet we do! We stone-grind our own corn the old-fashioned way because we believe good things take time—and a little extra grit (pun intended). This traditional method keeps all the flavor and nutrients intact, so you get the best-tasting corn possible. No shortcuts here!

  • Nixtamalization unlocks niacin (B3) for energy, boosts calcium and magnesium, and makes corn easier to digest. Stone grinding preserves more fiber, natural oils, and essential nutrients, giving tortillas a richer flavor and better texture. Together, they create healthier, more nutritious, and more authentic tortillas—just the way they should be!

  • Unlike corn flour tortillas made from processed masa flour, our tortillas start with whole kernel corn, nixtamalized and stone-ground fresh for better flavor, texture, and nutrition. No preservatives, no artificial additives—just real, wholesome corn tortillas.

  • Our tortillas are made naturally, without preservatives, so they may dry out faster than store-bought ones with additives. But don’t worry—just revive them with heat! Warm them on a hot griddle or skillet for 20 second on each side, or microwave them wrapped in a damp towel. For extra softness, lightly spray with water or dip the edges in water before heating.

  • Our tortillas last up to 3 weeks refrigerated, and up to 6 months frozen—just store them properly and reheat for the best freshness!

  • We use corn oil because it complements the natural flavor of our nixtamal corn, creating a crispier, more authentic chip. It also has a high smoke point, making it ideal for frying while keeping the taste clean and delicious!

  • Yes! We use whole grain corn in all our products and are proudly certified by the Whole Grains Council.
