Corn Tortillas

Corn tortillas are an essential ingredient to many staples of Mexican cuisine, so the tortilla can make or break a meal. Whilst we sell a range of different corn tortillas premade, why not have a go at making your own: 

• 250g Naturelo Blanco Corn Flour
• ½ tsp salt
• 350-375ml lukewarm water

1. Put the flour in a bowl with the salt.
2. Add water, starting with 350ml. If the dough is still too dry to come together, add more water a little at a time until you have a soft but not sticky dough.
3. Knead the dough for a minute or two until it is soft it is soft and pliable and forms a ball.
4. Divide the mixture into golfball-sized balls.
5. Place one between two sheets of thin polythene, then press it to make a disc about 15cm in diameter (Our tortilla presses are ideal for this step!) Repeat this step with the rest of the dough to make your tortillas; pile them up separated with baking parchment to prevent them sticking together.
6. Heat an ungreased heavy-based frying pan. Cook the tortillas one or two at a time, until they change colour and start to puff up slightly (this will only take about 2 minutes). Flip them over and repeat on the other side, then you are ready to serve!
