Directions
Corn Tortillas, Home-made corn tortillas! Great for home-made corn chips, enchiladas, tacos, quesadillas–everything! A money-saver too, considering how much chips and store-bough tortillas can be Prep time includes 30 minutes sitting time , Use parchment paper It’s sturdy, and you can leave it on the tortilla while it sets in the pan It’s only a few seconds, and it makes it easier to remove the paper used a tortilla press It’s not necessary, but it makes quick work of forming the tortillas and the results are uniform (You can make the tortillas thin for street tacos or thicker, like a sope ), I made these with freshly-ground dent corn I still need to work on my technique, but this recipe is really easy and the results are great I didn’t have any wheat flour ready (the downside of grinding my own flour), so when I discovered the dough was too wet used a little rice flour Next time, I hope to make these with just corn (I need to remember to grind a little extra )
