Taco Knowledge

All my life I had heard about nixtamalization, whether I understood what it was all about was another matter. It wasn't until I arrived in Germany, when my need to eat Mexican food made me wonder why I didn't "just" buy the maize flour (Maismehl) that I could find in any German supermarket. There were two things that stopped me: I had never made maize tortillas before Nixtamalization.
