Corn Tortillas

Tortillas are a staple in Mexican cuisine, enjoyed for centuries. Originally made by the ancient Aztecs from corn flour, they remain a cornerstone of Mexican food. This thin, pliable flatbread is the perfect base for tacos, burritos, or quesadillas. Easy to make at home, they're far superior to store-bought versions.

    Preparation Steps

    1

    In a large bowl, combine the corn flour and salt, then gradually add the warm water.

    2

    Knead the dough by hand until it is pliable and easy to shape. If it's too dry, add a little more water.

    3

    Divide the dough into 8 equal portions, then roll them into small balls.

    4

    On a lightly floured surface or between sheets of parchment paper, roll out each ball into a thin circle, about 2 mm thick.

    5

    Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Cook the tortillas one at a time for 30-40 seconds on each side, until lightly browned spots appear.

    6

    As they are cooked, place the tortillas on a plate covered with a clean kitchen towel to keep them soft.

    7

    Serve fresh or use for tacos, burritos, or other Mexican dishes!
