How to Make Tortillas from Scratch

corn masa

🥗Healthier: whole grain masa

💰Cheaper: corn flour

Whole grain masa offers more fiber, while corn flour can be more affordable.

Mix Masa with salt and chili daral powder until evenly distributed.

Gradually pour warm water into the Masa until a soft, pliable dough forms.

Roll the Masa into balls, about 1 to 1.5 ounces each.

Wrap the tortilla press in plastic and coat both sides with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.

Place a ball of Masa in the center of the tortilla press.

Press down gently on the tortilla press to flatten the Masa.

Cook the tortilla for about 1.5 minutes on each side.
