History is being made at this year's Tortilla Tournament as Pan Victoria, the first Central American tortilla to make it as category finalist, faces off against blue corn darling and former champion Taco María. In the flour category, the Oceanside branch of Heritage Brewery & Barbecue is pitted against HomeState, another previous winner. Tournament founder Gustavo Arellano says the corn category is more intriguing this year while the flour category is relatively conventional despite Heritage's beef tallow entry. The winner will be announced after live judging at Smorgasburg LA on Sunday, October 8.
