Elaboration of tortillas by hand following the Mexican tradition

About

This hour-long class teaches you to make corn tortillas the old way — grinding nixtamalized maize, forming masa, and pressing each round by hand. It's led by local cooks who've been doing this their whole lives, and the format is demonstration plus hands-on practice. The 5.0 rating across 24 reviews suggests the instructors are patient and the pace is manageable even if you've never touched masa. You taste what you make, which is the point. The session runs about an hour and costs around $45, which includes materials and whatever tortillas come out intact. It's scheduled through Viator, so logistics are handled — pickup, timing, small group size. If you want to understand why fresh tortillas taste nothing like the bag, this is the most direct route.
