Everything You Should Know About Patterned Mexican Tortillas | Bon Appétit
"A Nashville food truck and pop-up run by chef Julio Hernandez that showcases striking, intricately patterned tortillas made from heirloom maíz; the vibrant disks—speckled with purple-yellow suns and moons, pressed with epazote leaves, or stacked into concentric rings—draw on Hernandez’s childhood in Tlaxcala, where his family blended red, white and purple corn and filled tortillas with foraged heirloom beans, mushrooms and squash. Inspired by fine-dining techniques he studied in Guadalajara, he uses these multicolored masa creations as both culinary offerings at pop-ups and a visual, cultural statement on Instagram, reviving ceremonial traditions and transmitting them to new audiences." - ByAndrea Aliseda
