In Mexico, almost all meals are accompanied by tortillas made from nixtamalized corn, a preparation where the corn is cooked with lime to potentiate its nutrients. This preparation helps to soften the corn, eliminating the cellulose (which the human being can not digest) to create a dough.

Throughout the country tortillas are a common Mexican table. This recipe for Tortillas de Colores is original and delicious.
