Tlaxcalli, the Nahuatl name for what we now call tortillas, is at the heart of how I cook and eat. I make fresh heirloom corn tortillas for families, home cooks, caterers, and small businesses, using techniques passed down through generations of women in my family. This is how I learned, at home, in the Cocina, just watching and doing.
Using heirloom maíz grown in the Pacific Northwest, I follow the traditional process of nixtamalization. It takes more time, but it’s the way tortillas are meant to be made, and you can taste the difference.
