�

All the way from Mexico to Costa Rica there exists something that can be called �a corn culture.� This grain is one of the basic foods of the inhabitants of the region.

But this doesn�t mean that the custom of preparing them at home has been lost. Traditionally, in every house there was a corn grinding machine; with time, people turned to corn mills and today they buy a powdered dough which can be prepared by just adding a little bit of water.

The tortillas prepared in the Central Valley are medium-sized and not very thick. When heated, a little �shell� of toasted dough is formed on their surface, which makes them more appetizing.

On the other hand, in Guanacaste tortillas are larger and thicker. They also have their attraction. In any case, the important thing� is to eat tortillas� as an accompaniment to food.

When one visits a restaurant, especially if it�s a �typical� restaurant or if they serve meat, to try tortillas is a �must.�

If you want a light unconventional dinner, anywhere in Costa Rica you can ask to be served some �gallitos variados� (assorted gallitos). You will surely be more than satisfied.

If we want to continue finding uses for corn tortilla, the only limit is our imagination.� For breakfast, what�s better than eating a bit of natilla (sour cream) with a warm tortilla. We assure you that eggs taste different if they�re served with this famous tortilla, which can be eaten with everything.
