Published: April 3, 2023, 6 p.m.

b'In 2012, the Australian culinary landscape was experiencing a Mexican food wave. But there were a few things missing. Mexican-born Gerardo Lopez especially lamented the lack of traditional corn tortillas. He got busy researching, testing, and eventually making tortillas from locally grown grain. The vision has since expanded from a small-scale side hustle to La Tortilleria, a factory that processes hundreds of tonnes of corn annually, sends tortillas all around Australia and exports them to Asia too. It\\u2019s a company built on pride, commitment and the joys of maize.\\n\\nhttps://latortilleria.com.au\\n\\nFollow The Producers on Instagram\\n\\nhttps://www.instagram.com/producerspodcast/\\n\\nHost Dani Valent\\xa0\\n\\nhttps://www.instagram.com/danivalent\\n\\nHost Anthony Huckstep\\n\\nhttps://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/\\n\\nExecutive Producer Rob Locke\\n\\nhttps://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/\\n\\n\\nLISTEN TO OUR OTHER FOOD PODCASTS\\n\\nhttps://linktr.ee/DeepintheWeedsNetwork\\n\\nThe Producers is a food podcast telling the stories of producers, farmers, growers and makers..
