With this simple technique, you can prepare your own fresh masa (corn dough) at home, just like it’s been done in Mexico for centuries.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the nixtamalization process, share expert tips, and show you how to turn your homemade masa into tortillas, tamales, tlacoyos, arepas, and other delicious Mexican and Latin American dishes.
