Field Trip to Tortilleria Nixtamal

These are all the tamales we made
Today was awesome even though I got to Tortilleria Nixtamal a few minuets late. I loved the way it was styled, half factory and half restaurant. The owner of the restaurant took us downstairs where all the corn was soaked, then grinded into a powder like texture. The grounded corn is used to make tortillas and tamales.At first we watched one of the workers, showing us step by step on how to make tamales, and then we had the opportunity to make some of our own.
The lady showing us the process in making sweet tamales:)


After seeing all these wonderful machines and making tamales, we went upstairs for lunch.It was amazing because the food looked small; you'd never think you'd be full.


Laura's Mother joined us for the day :)
