Just Like Mom Used to Make It: Tortillas Con Madre

If you’ve ever had a dry, papery, packed-with-preservatives tortilla, you know that not all tortillas are created equal. Because when you bite into a burrito or taco gently wrapped in a locally-made, fresh, and perfectly pliable tortilla, it’s another experience entirely. Are you getting hungry yet? If you’re not, you will be, once we introduce you to one of our newest local vendors: Tortillas Con Madre.

With a simple 5-ingredient recipe that started in the family kitchen of Lupita Nava, Tortillas Con Madre is an entirely-family run operation based in Lynden. “Con Madre” simply translates to “with mother” in Spanish, and for Lupita, sharing her recipes and creating her family-run business was all done to honor her mother. If ever there was a way to honor your mom, sharing your family heritage with the community is a pretty wonderful way to do it.

Recipes for their tortillas have been passed down from one generation to the next, allowing the family to perfect their simple, but high-quality product. Made without preservatives or artificial flavors and colors, their small-batch tortillas are USDA-Certified Organic, Non-GMO, and vegan-friendly. They’re also packed full of omega-6 and -9, thanks to the pumpkin oil in their recipe. Along with the pumpkin oil, the only other ingredients you’ll find in these tortillas are wheat flour, water, sea salt, and non-aluminum baking powder. That’s it. And that’s what makes Tortillas Con Madre so special: their simplicity.

So, next time you’ve got Taco Tuesday on the brain or want to meal prep some breakfast burritos for the week, reach for Tortillas Con Madre’s simple, but incredibly delicious flour tortillas.
