INTRODUCTION

This walk-through tour presents the history of the tortilla and passes through an automated tortilleria where visitors can see how corn and flour tortillas are made.

ATTRACTION

The tour begins with a video pre-show featuring children in an interesting and entertaining presentation on the history of the tortilla. Colorful murals adorn the walls. The doors open automatically and the next room contains dioramas and video displays which illustrate the labor-intensive process of making tortillas by hand. Finally visitors enter a modern tortilla factory, where behind glass walls the entire automated tortilla-making process can be viewed. Corn tortillas are produced on the left, and flour tortillas on the right. Cooking demonstrations take place in the demo kitchen located at the end of the tour.
