After years of enjoying fresh corn tortillas shipped by my mother-in-law from my wife’s home town in Mexico, I decided it was time to share real corn tortillas with the rest of New England. In 2011, I opened Tortilleria Mi Niña, the first tortilla bakery in New England that produces tortillas authentically from a true old world recipe, using only the best ingredients. At Tortilleria Mi Niña, we utilize the same techniques from the Aztec period. We cook whole grain corn with water and lime and we use hand-carved volcanic stones to grind the corn mixture - a process known as “Nixtamalization.” We pride ourselves on staying true to tradition and I am grateful to be able to share my tortilla products with my family and yours. - Chef Jamie Mammano
