‘Make Homemade Tortillas’ has been on my To Do List for years.\u00a0 After tackling Homemade Pasta<\/a>, it was finally time.\u00a0 I started with Corn Tortillas<\/strong>, posted here, and then moved on to Flour Tortillas (a little more complicated), which shall be posted soon.\u00a0 This is the Corn report…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After reviewing several recipes online, I opted to make the one posted on the back of the Maseca Masa<\/a>\u00a0bag, which\u00a0was easy to follow and the Corn Tortillas turned out well.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Only three ingredients went into their creation — Masa, Salt and Water.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Start by combining the Salt and\u00a0Masa.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then add\u00a0Water to the Masa\/Salt combination and mix to form a fairly stiff Dough.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Once the Dough is satisfactorily formed, divide into targeted amount of Tortilla balls.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We formed 18 balls to ultimately\u00a0create 18 Corn Tortillas.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Roll out each Tortilla ball in between\u00a0plastic sheets — We used the inside of a baggie, which worked well.\u00a0 The Tortillas are\u00a0easy to separate from the plastic before\u00a0hitting\u00a0the skillet.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Once the Tortillas are formed, each is heated in a dry, medium-hot skillet for approximately 50 seconds\u00a0per side, then set aside under a towel and\/or bowl to keep them warm and soft.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As you can see, the hardest thing was to\u00a0roll ’em out into perfect circles, which we didn’t do.\u00a0 We could have used a large Cookie cutter, but opted for the rustic look this\u00a0first time.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As noted, before opting to make the simple Maseca Masa<\/a> Corn Tortilla recipe, I collected several others from around the web — And for\u00a0future reference\/use, they are\u00a0all linked here:\u00a0 Gourmet Sleuth<\/a>, All Recipes<\/a>, In Jennie’s Kitchen<\/a>, Cooking Mexican Recipes<\/a>, Simply Recipes<\/a>, Eating Cleveland<\/a> and What’s Cooking America<\/a>.\u00a0 All their Tortillas look better than ours.\u00a0 You’ll find everything you need to make good Homemade Corn Tortillas<\/strong>.\u00a0 Good luck to you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
