Corn Tortillas

I used to buy ready tortillas to make wraps at home. I won’t do it anymore as the tortilla dough is easy to make and tastes fantastic.

1. 1

   Sift the white flour and salt into a bawl, mix in the cornmeal. Rub the fat into the flour with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.

2. 2

   Add the water and mix precisely. Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 2-3 minutes until smooth. Put into a plastic bag and let it rest for 15 minutes.

3. 3

   Divide the dough into 8-10 equal pieces. Keep them covered with a damp cloth to prevent from drying out. Roll out each piece on a floured surface. Put paper towels between your tortillas.

4. 4

   Heat up a frying pan and cook tortillas for about 30 seconds each side until just speckled brown. Don’t add more fat.

5. 5

   Put the sheets of paper towels between tortillas or wrap them with a cloth to keep them elastic.
