Masa Taquera
Masa Taquera, our specialized masa for tacos, is made in Mexico from just two ingredients — non-GMO corn and alkaline water. Masa Taquera boasts a traditional, nixtamal-forward flavor that calls to mind fresh tortillas from a tortillería.
Made from white corn, its high pH (i.e., high alkalinity) creates a golden yellow tortilla. The corn’s whole grain is present, giving the masa extra pliability without the addition of gums or binding agents. Masa Taquera creates pillowy tortillas that are forgiving, bend without cracking or crumbling, and hold up to even the drippiest and most delicious of taco fillings. Never genetically modified. Always gluten free.

What's the difference between Masa Taquera and Heirloom Corn Masa Harina? Which one is right for me?
Masa Taquera is more nixtamal-forward, for that classic tortillería flavor. Because of the high alkalinity, it produces golden yellow tortillas (though made with white corn) and is a bit more forgiving to work with—super pliable and sturdy for tacos. It’s almost hard not to get a puff! Our Heirloom Corn Masa Harina is available in a range of colors and it’s more corn-forward in flavor with a delicate texture. It's great when you want that distinct corn taste from your tortillas or are using it for things like tamales or gluten-free baking.
Heirloom Corn Masa Harina is a great choice if you are interested in a nuanced flavor profile, looking for a range of colors, or planning on baking or making tamales. When it comes to tortillas, we love Masa Taquera for its ease of use, sturdiness, and nostalgic flavor.
What kind of corn is Masa Taquera made from? Is it organic?
Masa Taquera is made from commercially grown, non-GMO corn from Mexico. It is not certified organic.
How many tortillas can I make with one bag of Masa Taquera?
A 26 oz bag of Masa Taquera can make approximately 60 tortillas.
