      Just about anything ! Black beans corn and salsa and avocado are my go to lazy meal. Grilled peppers, caramelized onions, sautéed mushrooms, corn and avocado fill the body up.. coleslaw, mango salsa and bbq mushroom riblets... how many days have we got there? Tacos are food of the Gods! Vegan or not.

    To make it fast and better add a little more water to that dough it was too dry and make some little balls put in between 2 layers of plastic and just press with a sauce pan or pot and voala you have a tortilla presser. Also you can add about the 20 % of whole wheat flour, oat flour , coconut flour, chick pea flour to change the nutritional value and flavor. Cheers!

    FYI The corn is actually not processed with lime juice but lime the calcium based mineral. It's also done with wood ash.
    This breaks the cellulose shell and "nixtamalizes" it making the center super digestible. Signed, a Mexican.

    The masa has to be very flexible, if it has cracks or it feels heavy, you gotta add more water and keep kneading until it's soft then let it rest with a wet towel. A dry dough will give you crispy tortillas.

    @bernadetterocha3693 2 года назад

    The lime juice he mentions is NOT THE LIME FROM A LIME FRUIT. Its calcium hydroxide. FOOD GRADE ONLY, NEVER USE HARDWARE OR IT COULD KILL YOU. In the past, crushed shellfish were used, or ash. Using a green lime will do literally nothing. I am only stating this because I saw a comment asking if they could soak in the lime, and also because the statement "lime juice" sounded off. Probably a mistake. This causes the corn to undergo nixtamalization, an ancient indigenous thing my ancestors did in Central and S. America to dissolve the outer shells. It makes the corns able to grow twice its size when soaked (think hominy from the cans, thats what it is) and also for the masa harina for tortillas, tamales, atole, etc. Nixtamalization allows the body to absorb the B vitamin which keeps you from getting Pellegra, which is a deficiency in that vitamin (I think B3??) if you have a predominantly corn based diet. That's why when corn went around the world initially, this wasn't done and folk were getting pellegra when corn took over as the main staple cuz folk didn't know to nixtamalize it.
    Also, a damp towel is better, to keep it from drying out.

    Yo Wil, that's not fair. You're supposed to dhow us how you cook them. I am using an Indian maize flour called Makki Atta, and it is not possible yo make Tortillas with just salt and water. It breaks into crumbs. I have tried adding a small portion of normal flour, sometimes Polenta to give it more substance, olive oil, even an egg which defeats the purpose of making a fegan dish. Help!

    • @bernadetterocha3693
      @bernadetterocha3693 2 года назад

      Masa harina is treated with food grade calcium hydroxide (called lime, not the lime fruit though) which is why this type of corn flour works for tortillas. It dissolves the outer shells of the corn. If yours isn't masa harina, then that's probably why it crumbles.
