About Yellow corn tortilla

A yellow corn tortilla is a thin, round flatbread made primarily from yellow maize dough, commonly prepared from masa. It is usually pliable when warm, with a lightly grainy surface and a mild corn flavour. Size, thickness, and texture differ by maker, and packaged tortillas may include additional ingredients or processing aids.

It is heated on a griddle or other hot surface and used as a bread or wrapper. Freshly made tortillas and packaged products can differ in moisture, softness, and shelf life. The term refers to the yellow-corn version, rather than tortillas made from white maize or wheat.
