corn tortillas

Recipes using corn tortillas

what is it?

Corn tortillas, as traditional to Mexican cooking as Baguettes are to French, also go stale just as quickly, and therefore should be eaten promptly after they've been made or purchased.

The ingredients for fresh tortillas are simple: masa harina, a corn flour that is treated with calcium hydroxide to release the niacin in the corn and to make it easier on digestion, and water. The flour and water are combined into dough and are then either rolled out by hand or pressed with a tortilla press and cooked over high heat on a griddle. They can also be fried to make hard tacos and tortilla chips.
