Softest Homemade Corn Tortillas- Episode 722

corn masa

🥗Healthier: whole grain masa

💰Cheaper: corn flour

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

In a bowl, combine flour and corn flour, mixing well to incorporate the ingredients.

Add enough hot water to the flour mixture to form a soft dough.

Knead the dough until it comes together and forms a ball.

Sprinkle a little vegetable oil over the dough to prevent it from forming a skin.

Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it sit for five minutes.

After resting, uncover the dough and break it into 2-inch dough balls.

Cover the dough balls with a damp paper towel or tea towel to prevent them from drying out.

Prepare the tortilla press by oiling both sides and placing a piece of plastic over the press on both sides.

Add a little oil to the plastic on the tortilla press.

Place one dough ball in the middle of the tortilla press and press down until thin.

Heat a frying pan and place the pressed tortilla in it, cooking for two to three minutes on each side, flipping to ensure even browning.

Once cooked, place the tortilla in a container to keep it warm and soft.

Continue making the rest of the tortillas until all dough balls are used.
