This category features seven standout products, from mini street taco sizes to super size options in white and yellow corn varieties, all crafted for tacos, enchiladas, tostadas, and more.

Why Mission Foods Corn Tortillas Stand Out
Mission Foods has built a reputation for producing fresh, pliable tortillas that hold up to fillings while delivering that classic corn flavor. Their corn tortillas are made from high-quality masa, ensuring an authentic texture that's neither too brittle nor overly soft. Standout features include gluten-free certifications on select varieties, zero trans fats, and versatile sizing for different occasions. Unlike generic options, Mission emphasizes consistency and freshness, making them a go-to for home cooks and pros alike.
As part of our expansive Grocery & Gourmet Food selection, these tortillas fit seamlessly into the Flatbreads family, offering a healthier, grain-based alternative to wheat wraps.
Comparing Mission Foods Corn Tortilla Varieties
With options spanning sizes and colors, choosing the right one depends on your needs. Here's a breakdown to help you decide:
- Mini Soft Taco Sizes (Street Tacos): Perfect for appetizers or handheld tacos. Try the Yellow Street Tacos Corn Tortillas (24 count) or Street Taco Corn Tortillas (24 count) for bite-sized flavor bursts. The Flour version (12 count) adds a soft twist if you want variety.
- Small Soft Taco Sizes: Ideal for standard tacos. White Corn Tortillas (30 count, gluten-free) offer a milder taste, while Yellow Corn Tortillas (30 count, gluten-free) and Extra Thin Yellow Corn (24 count) provide bolder corn essence and easier folding.
- Super Size: For burritos or large platters, the Super Size Yellow Corn Tortillas (10 count) deliver hearty portions without tearing.
Yellow corn varieties bring a vibrant hue and slightly sweeter profile, great for street-style tacos, while white corn keeps it neutral for versatile fillings. All resist sogginess better than many competitors, holding up under salsas and proteins.
