According to one tortilla artist,

"I use the Tortilla as a Canvas because it is an integral part of the Hispanic Culture and my heritage. For the subject matter of my tortilla paintings, I use imagery that is representative of Latinos, conveying their hopes, art, beliefs and history. As the tortilla has given us life, I give it new life by using it as an art medium."

The Great Tortilla Conspiracy is an art group that utilizes tortilla art as a medium. They are located in San Francisco's Mission district, the members include Jos Sances, René Yañez, Rio Yañez, and Art Hazelwood.
