Why are Suerte’s tostadas rectangular?
For Fermín Núñez, the shape originally came out of necessity. By removing the cutter from a manual tortilla machine, the Suerte team discovered they could produce rectangular sheets of masa much faster than making each tostada by hand.
Later, Fermín Núñez reached out to Tortilla Masters for an electric machine that could produce that same shape with a custom rectangular cutter. What began as a way to save time eventually became one of Suerte’s most recognizable details.
