Maizajo

Thanks to NAFTA, most tortillas today are made with high-yield, GMO corn. Maíz criollo isn’t cheap and doesn’t grow year-round, so many farmers in Mexico have given up. But after tasting real blue corn from Tlaxcala, Santiago Muñoz Moctezuma built Maizajo around native varieties and old-school nixtamalization — a process he hopes will one day stand alongside pizza and sourdough. With tacos this good, more people are starting to care.
