Corn Tortillas

May 19, 2020

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

When I was in California I bought a tortilla press and some corn masa to make corn tortillas. At the time the boys were small and really only liked the tortillas when deep fried into tortilla chips so I stopped making them. I decided to try them again last month as we were missing Boojum a lot. The boys loved them stuffed with mexican chicken, rice and salsa.

I like to add black beans, cheese, lettuce and sour cream (or plain yogurt) to mine.

Corn Tortillas

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Servings 16 tortillas

Ingredients

  • 200 g corn masa
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 280-300 ml water

Instructions

  • Add the masa and salt to a bowl and add enough water to form a dough. Add the water slowly.
  • Bring the ingredients together to form a ball and knead.
  • Divide into 16 balls
  • Line each side of the tortilla press with some cling film to stop the dough sticking
  • Put one ball on top of one side of the tortilla press and push down on the handle to flatten the ball.
  • Remove carefully from the cling film and dry fry in a large frying pan. I can fit 3 at a time in mine
  • Cook on one side for a couple of minutes and flip over. It should start to puff up with air as it cooks
  • Remove the tortilla from the pan and put it on a plate and cover with a tea towel
  • Repeat until all the dough balls are cooked.
  • Serve with your favourite taco fillings. I like to use mexican rice, mexican chicken, salsa, black beans, lettuce, cheese and sour cream
