Mexicans, was the first ones to invent the tortilla, known as the tlaxcalli.

According to Maya legend, tortillas were invented by a peasant for his hungry king in ancient times. The first tortillas discovered, which date back to approximately 10,000 BC, were made of native maize with dried kernel. The Mexicas use maize, both eaten straight from the cob and in recipes as a staple of their cuisine.
