Tips:

• Use the finest corn for making the tortilla
• Adding the sodium cyclamate will add a sweet taste to the tortilla, avoid using sugar as sweetener as it will make the tortilla dark/burnt when fried.
• The Anti-oxidan will make the tortilla’s color browny and not easy to spoil
• The added improver will make the tortilla crunchy when fried
• The lime paste and baking soda will also make the torilla crunchier
