The Real Tortillas Story
Before we begin the journey,
listen to what the corn has to say.
“I am not just food,” it whispers,
“I am memory, medicine, and fire.”
When the ancients found my secret — nixtamal —
they unlocked the nutrients hidden beneath my golden skin.
Calcium, fibre, minerals… all awakened by water, lime, and flame.
That’s why real tortillas — the nixtamal ones —
feed the body and the soul.
They’re alive, whole, and ancient.
Not like those made from powder or flour;those are shortcuts with no story,
no heartbeat,
no spirit.
Here, we bring back the real thing.
Nixtamalized corn from Western Australia,
cooked with fire, stone, and respect.
A tortilla that remembers where it came from and tastes like history reborn.
At La Tortilla we pride ourselves on cooking nixtamalized corn tortillas… real tortillas!
