Corn Tortillas

Cultural Context

Corn tortillas are a staple in Mexican cuisine, used in a variety of dishes such as tacos, enchiladas, and quesadillas. They are made from masa harina, a type of corn flour, and are integral to traditional meals. Their origins trace back thousands of years to Mesoamerican cultures, where corn was a fundamental part of the diet.

Divide the dough into small balls, aiming for 45 grams each.

Use a tortilla press lined with a cut ziplock bag to flatten each ball of dough.
