A young Mexican American chef won a prestigious award in the event that is considered the culinary Oscars. Ana Liz Pulido, owner of Ana Liz Taqueria, won a James Beard Award for best chef in Texas at the James Beard Foundation awards ceremony Monday.
Texas Monthly credited the success of the restaurant, a “pilgrimage-worthy spot,” to the chef’s homemade tortillas. After losing her corn tortilla supplier, a tortilleria that nixtamalized its corn to soften it and boost its nutrition, Pulido learned how to make the tortillas herself. These from-scratch tortillas make her food both unique and simply made, Pulido told ValleyCentral last year. “It’s organic, it doesn’t have GMOs. It’s just calcium, water, and corn,” she said.
