The method involves mixing masa flour and water and incompletely cooking the mixture during a precooking step, preferably during mixing of the ingredients. The incompletely cooked masa is sheeted and cut into shapes. The shapes are steamed, baked, and then dried. The steaming and baking steps advance the cooking of the masa constituents incompletely cooked during the mixing stage, resulting in an improved texture, bite, and shipping characteristic.
