HOMEMADE TORTILLAS - easy steps to authentic Mexican food

corn flour

🥗Healthier: whole grain corn flour

💰Cheaper: masa harina

Whole grain corn flour is more nutritious, while masa harina is often more affordable.

wheat flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour offers more fiber and nutrients, while all-purpose flour is usually cheaper.

Add 3 cups of corn flour and 0.5 cups of wheat flour into a mixing bowl.

Add 0.5 teaspoons of baking soda to the flour mixture.

Create a well in the flour and start adding water, mixing until a dough forms.

Aim for a texture similar to cookie dough, nice and soft but a bit thicker.

Knead the dough well with your hands and then set it aside to rest.

Cut the rested dough into small portions.

If you don't have a tortilla press, use two cutting boards to press the dough between them.

For those with a tortilla press, place a small ball of dough between parchment paper and press to form a tortilla.

Grill the tortillas on both sides until cooked, ensuring they are thin to cook faster.
