Como hacer Tortillas Salvadoreñas (paso a paso)

corn masa

🥗Healthier: whole grain flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole grain flour adds fiber while all-purpose flour is more accessible.

cheese

🥗Healthier: low-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: cottage cheese

Low-fat cheese reduces calories while cottage cheese offers a similar texture.

salsa

🥗Healthier: fresh pico de gallo

💰Cheaper: canned salsa

Pico de gallo is fresher and can be made easily at home.

Measure out 1/2 package of maseca for about 15 tortillas.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the maseca for flavor.

Gradually add water while kneading the dough until it is manageable but not too wet.

Heat the skillet on high for about 5 minutes, then lower to medium heat.

Test the skillet by adding a drop of water; if it evaporates immediately, it's ready.

Apply a little vegetable oil to the skillet with a paper towel to prevent sticking.

Shape the dough by hand into round tortillas, using water to keep hands moist and prevent sticking.

Cook each tortilla on the skillet until lightly charred on both sides, about 1-2 minutes per side.

Wrap cooked tortillas in a cloth to keep warm until serving.
