House-made Tortillas (2) Recipe

Tortilla Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Dough

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the nixtamalized organic corn and water. Stir until the corn is well hydrated.

2. 2

   Add Salt

   Sprinkle the salt over the corn mixture and knead the dough with your hands until it becomes smooth and pliable. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water until the desired consistency is achieved.

3. 3

   Divide the Dough

   Divide the dough into equal portions, about the size of a golf ball. You should end up with approximately 8 portions from the 2 cups of corn.

4. 4

   Flatten the Tortillas

   Using a tortilla press or rolling pin, flatten each portion between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper until they are approximately 6 inches in diameter.

5. 5

   Cook the Tortillas

   Preheat a cast iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Place the flattened tortilla onto the skillet and cook for about 30-45 seconds on each side, or until lightly browned and cooked through. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

6. 6

   Keep Warm

   As you cook each tortilla, stack them on a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm and soft.
