La comida rápida mexicana en EU consumía en 1994 poco más de 400 millones de docenas de tortillas de maíz nixtamalizado, o sea 4,800 millones de tortillas al año; un fenómeno que ha ido en aumento exponencial.
¿Muchas tortillas, eh? Gracias!!

Nixtamalization is the treatment of dried maize (corn) kernels that removes the hard outer hull from the kernels, making them more palatable, easier to digest, and easier to process. It also alters the flavor in a way that many consider to be an improvement.
The treatment is described in some sources from the United States as soaking in lye-water (sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide solution), but several Mexican recipies consulted agreed that it consisted primarily of cooking in lime-water (calcium hydroxide).
The process dates back nearly 10,000 years in ancient Mesoamerican cultures.
The resulting product is called hominy or pozole. Some sources refer to lye or ash treated corn as hominy and lime treated corn as pozole. Others do not distinguish.

Spanish term (edited):
ma�z nixtamalizado
corn [tortillas] cured with lime using the traditional _nixtamal_ process
I tried to draft my answer so that it includes both an explanation and the Mexican word itself, which would be in italics.
I have a Mexican friend who lives part-time in the States. She always brings her corn tortillas up with her because she says that the tortillas sold in grocery stores in the US don't work properly in her recipes because they haven't been "nixtamalizados."

I'm just a gringa, but here are some references to the process:
... Nixtamal is the process of cooking corn with lime, a calcium-rich mineral, and then drying the kernels. The cured corn - also called nixtamal - is then ground to create the basis for countless preparations such as **tortillas**, atole and tamales. Or nixtamal can be left whole and reconstituted for foods such as pozole...
www.greeleytrib.com/apps/pbcs.dll/ article?AID=/20021124/WORLDSAPART/211240014
nixtamal - Kernels of dried field corn that have their hull and germ removed and partially processed with slaked lime and water. The first people of Mexico and Native Americans used ashes dissolved in water. Today the standard alkali for the nixtamalizing process is purified cal, or calcium hydroxide.
http://whatscookingamerica.net/Glossary/N.htm
Nixtamál - [Spanish] hominy; lime-slaked corn; used to make posole or ground into masa, or dough, to make tortillas.
