Delivery

We send orders on Mondays and Tuesdays to make sure they get to you within a couple of day and not sit in transport over the weekend, if you need them sooner feel free to go into any of our stockists or drop us a message, we'll do our best to help.

Storing

As soon as they get to you, keep your fresh tortillas refrigerated. Not planning to eat them this week? You can always freeze them (up to 3 months) and use as you need.

If your tortillas are vacuum packed and you will want to use only a few at a time, make sure you re-stack them one by one before putting in a zip bag or in an air tight container in the freezer (no need for separation layer, just re-stack them).

If your tortillas are in a zip bag (i.e. you bought them from us at the market) you can put them as they are straight into the freezer.

Heating

Pan, Skillet or BBQ hot plate (Comal)

1. Heat dry (no oil) over high-ish heat.
   
2. Warm each tortilla for about 10-15 seconds per side until soft and floppy, or for longer if you prefer them toasted and crispy.

See pro tips below

----------------------------------------

Microwave for 30–60 seconds depending on quantity and the power of your microwave.

1. Best for speed, but try not to over heat them for a soft tortilla.
   

Pro Tips
• If not serving immediately wrap heated tortillas in a clean slightly damp tea towel or in a tortilla cozy to retain heat and moisture.
• If tortillas are dry or cracking, wet them under the tap before reheating.

These tortillas contain NZ corn (Nixtamalised) and a pinch of salt, nothing too complicated. The cooking of the corn known as Nixtamalisation uses water and a small amount of food grade hydrated lime to break own the grain and make it more digestible and nutritious.
