Tacos Hernandez and Keep Growing Detroit to shine a spotlight on fall harvest and masa making | Eater Detroit

"Owned by Diana Gomez, this Eater Award–winning norteño-style taco truck has focused since its 2022 launch on making its own tortillas and reviving traditional techniques; Gomez learned the ancient nixtamalization process (which turns dried corn kernels into masa) and has been experimenting with heirloom corn to improve taste and texture. After planting hundreds of stalks of heirloom dent corn in a tuxapeño variety with community partners, she began shifting away from relying solely on packaged masa harina (Maseca)—a convenience that enabled many small businesses but is often criticized for producing less flavorful tortillas—and now demonstrates handmade corn tortilla production using flint corn grown on local farms." - Serena Maria Daniels
