Bar has new tortilla wrap made from corn? (7)

I believe the answer is:

polenta

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'corn?' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'bar has new tortilla wrap' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'bar' could be 'pole' and 'pole' is present in the answer.
'new' could be 'n' (abbreviation as in New Testament NT) and 'n' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'ta' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'made from' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for polenta that I've seen before include "Italian porridge usually of maize" , "Italian boiled cornmeal" , "Cornmeal -- on plate (anag)" , "Friulian foodstuff" , "Lepanto (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
