Artisan Crafted Cotton Fabric Tortilla Pouch from Mexico, "Warmer in Sepia"

Ideal for warming corn or flour tortillas in the microwave, tortilla holders go hand-in-hand with the Western Hemisphere's favorite flatbread. Specializing in kitchen linens, Oaxacan Zapotec descendant Olga Jimenez weaves this sepia cotton tortilla warmer on the backstrap loom in a process that dates to the 16th century. First created in prehistoric Mexico, the tortilla plays a quintessential role in Central and North American cuisine, with an increasing presence in other cultures.
