Blue Corn Tortilla (14.5cm) - 500g

Blue Corn Tortilla (14.5cm / 500g)

La Tortilleria’s 14.5cm Blue Corn Tortillas offer a striking visual twist with their deep blue hue, adding a vibrant and artisanal touch to any dish. Made using 100% wholegrain Australian-grown blue corn, these tortillas follow the ancient Aztec process of nixtamalization, where the corn is soaked, stone-ground, pressed, and cooked to develop their signature slightly sweeter and nuttier flavour compared to traditional white or yellow corn tortillas.

Unlike flour tortillas, which often contain preservatives, gums, and artificial additives, La Tortilleria’s blue corn tortillas are made with just corn, water, and lime (calcium hydroxide)—delivering a pure, clean taste without unnecessary ingredients. Their toasted blue corn flavour and firm texture make them the ideal way to offer an authentic, delicious, and wholesome experience to customers, enhancing the quality of any dish they’re used in.

Designed for foodservice professionals, these tortillas provide exceptional durability, making them ideal for tacos, tostadas, quesadillas, and gourmet plating applications. Their striking blue colour and rich flavour profile elevate dishes beyond standard tortillas, helping restaurants and caterers create visually stunning and authentic Mexican cuisine.

How to Heat & Serve

For the best texture and flavour, heat tortillas before serving:

On a Hotplate or Pan: Heat for 15-30 seconds per side until warm and slightly charred.

Over an Open Flame: Place tortilla over an open flame for a few seconds on each side for an authentic, smoky touch.

Serve immediately for the best results. Keep warm in a tortilla warmer or wrapped in a clean cloth to maintain softness.
