About Yellow corn tortillas

Yellow corn tortillas are thin, round flatbreads made primarily from yellow maize dough, commonly prepared from masa. They are 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.

They are 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. This plural catalogue name denotes the same type of food as a yellow corn tortilla, not a separate preparation.
