Corn tortillas are consumed at virtually every meal in Guatemala. Most neighborhoods have a local tortilleria where women hand-press and cook tortillas on a comal (flat griddle) throughout the day. A pound of tortillas typically contains 12-15 tortillas. While packaged tortillas exist in supermarkets, most Guatemalans strongly prefer fresh, handmade tortillas from their local shop.
