🔥How to Reheat Special Sized Nixtamal Corn Tortillas!

🌽 Please Note: Our special sized tortillas like Jumbo and Siberia require special handling to preserve their texture and performance. If you’re planning to use them for an event or in a professional kitchen, we highly recommend testing a small batch beforehand to get familiar with their behavior and reheating process. Also, please ensure you have the appropriate kitchen equipment for their size — for example, a large comal or griddle is essential for reheating Jumbo tortillas evenly. Proper handling makes all the difference, and we’re here to help guide you every step of the way!

Step 2. Moist the tortillas and comal/plancha with a mixture of water and edible oil or lard (we use a spray bottle) . The comal must be at a medium temperature.
