Tortilla Making in Oaxaca
by Paula Greer
Late afternoon sun slants through the open front of a bustling Oaxacan kitchen, illuminating a stainless steel counter where a ceramic molcajete sits beside a stack of white plates with blue floral rims. A woman’s hands, dusted with masa, press tortillas with a wooden spoon, the motion blurring slightly against the static background of hanging dried chilies and clay pots. The warm light catches the sheen of oil on a nearby frying pan and highlights the rough texture of the terracotta bowls stacked on a wooden shelf. In the background, customers wait at the counter, their silhouettes soft against the bright doorway, creating a layered scene of domestic labor and public service.
