History
It is impossible to give an exact date or location for the invention of the tortilla. According to Mayan legend, tortillas were invented by a peasant for his hungry king in ancient times. The first tortillas, which date back to approximately 10 000 BC, were made of native corn with dried kernel. The Aztecs used a lot of corn, both eaten straight from the cob and in recipes. They would grind the corn into cornmeal and from this make a dough called masa. [1]
