The corn is pre-cooked and soaked
for 18 hours to tenderize the corn. Then the corn is stone ground into
masa (dough), rolled flat (like cookie dough) and cut to shape.
Then the cut to shape corn masa
is run though a proofer (to remove excess moisture) and it's into the
cooker.
Once out of the cooker, the tortilla
chips are off to be packaged.
