- LEARN HOW TO MAKE EASY CORN TORTILLAS FOR TACOS AT HOME!
LAY HO MA!! This recipe is so easy you definitely have to try it! Most of the tortillas sold at the supermarkets have about 10 ingredients with half of them being ingredients that nobody can pronounce. Join me in this episode and learn how to make these easy corn tortillas from scratch with only 2 ingredients. Taco Tuesdays will never be the same. Let's begin
Ingredients:
290ml water
230g masa harina
generous pinch of pink salt
Directions:
1. Bring the water to a boil
2. Pour the masa into a large mixing bowl and mix with the pink salt
3. Pour in the hot water and mix with a spatula to start forming a dough
4. When the water is safe to touch, knead the dough into a ball
5. Cover the bowl with a towel and let it rest for 20min
6. Brush some water onto your cutting board and drape over a sheet of cling film
7. Divide the dough into 20 total small portions
8. Transfer the dough back into the bowl and cover again with the towel to prevent them from drying out
9. Start with 2 portions of dough. Combine them together and roll it out into a thin sheet large enough for your mold to cut out a tortilla wrap
10. Use a cup, ring mold, or container to cut out the tortilla
11. Add another portion of dough to the excess dough. Repeat the rolling and cutting process
12. Cook the tortillas on a lightly greased skillet or frying pan for about 45sec on each side if enjoying right away. Or wrap them in cling film and place them in the fridge to cook later

• SO EASY! How to make ...
LAY HO MA! Let’s taco-bout something, what do you like in your tacos? 🌮🌮🌮
One request u should make one more channel for filming , editing and photography basics plz
It has definitely crossed my mind ☺️ perhaps!
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.
Black beans, saffron rice, Daiya cheddar with home grown cilantro and jalapeños!
With everything my friend. Many people doesn't know but we can make tacos from everything. You're more than welcome to come here with your wife to see it, you will be surprised 😁
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!
Oooooo I do have coconut flour in the pantry! Will have to try plus flattening then with pans 👌🏻
@@YEUNGMANCOOKING cool let's us know how it works for you👍👍

lovely. sum ppl like theirs crisper etc. i like mine oily n thick etc. thanks for advice on improvise with flatteners etc.
I just started making tortillas this year, and the flavor is SO much better than store bought tortillas! I use Bob’s red mill organic masa and it is the best! Love all your episodes, you’ve really inspired me to cook more! Thank you for making your channel, I always look forward to watching, and cooking with confidence! Would you ever consider providing the conversion from metric to imperial in your recipes? I would really appreciate it!
So glad to hear that Sharon ☺️ yeah! I do need to work on that I recognize that and have received a few requests for the conversion. I will definitely try to put it in the workflow
Nice! Impressive.
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.
Yeah my bad, I corrected myself in the comments section 😅🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️ was a long filming day
@@YEUNGMANCOOKINGno worries. it's actually a common thought. I thought it was lime juice too growing up until I saw my grandma do it. Your food is amazing! I'm absolutely addicted.
OMG Are you really making Tortillas? No way. Talk about Easy? Really. And homemade? Taco days are back fresh and delicious. Ole! And Gracias Chef. 😊 ❤
You now have me glancing at my bag of masa harina :D
😅😅😅
The camera position and the way you were forming the tortillas was relaxing to watch. Nice video, nice hands
Thank you so much ☺️
Should have cooked a few!! Thank you though Haha.
Right
Love how you edit your footage! 🙂👍
Thank you so much 👨🏻🍳🙌🏻
Wil I’m not sure if it’s your voice or what...but I can listen to u spit out these food directions all day😂😂😂😂 but thank you I really was needing this recipe.
😅😅😅 many thanks
It's called intense sexiness
I’m inspired to make some especially that I have a tortilla press to make it easier. Thanks for a great recipe.
Lolll yeah that would make life much easier
Love the clingfilm tip. Just got some Masa Harina so will be trying this out later. Thank you :)
Can’t wait to try this one too (fam absolutely loves tacos with corn tortillas) 🙌🏻❤️
Love your technique for making masa harina torillas. I appreciate your channel. ❤️
I followed other recipes on tortillas and yours is the best and works. Thank you so much.
sounds super delicious! let's get cooking😋 thanks again Wil
Yaaas 🥳
They looks so delicious! 😋 We love corn tortillas
Me too 🌮🌮🌮
Corn tortillas are my favorite!!!! 🌽
Same 😬🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮
You don't have a tortilla press in that super sonic kitchen of yours??
Sadly no hahhahahaha 😅
Wow I had been looking for this since long! Just came across your channel. You're incredible! 😍❤🙌
Awesome! Welcome 🥳
I discovered Wil in October. All the newbies salivate over Wil's smooth tongue
ur recipes are simple mostly that's also why i love them
Another amazing cooking lesson.
Thank you, Will!
Thank you Jane ☺️
11 like wow I like it keep it up 👍👌🌹
Thank you ☺️
Thank you
how come Yeung Man didnt cook the taco shell, I would like to see how it will turn out. it look perfect.
For QUICK & EASY tortillas put dough ball in tortilla press and press. No fuss, no edges to cut, and quick. You can even buy parchment paper circles to layer between tortillas so they don't stick together. 🌽🌯🌮 Maseca masa harina is inexpensive and great.
🙌🏻👨🏻🍳🥳

Epic. I wonder if these freeze well before cooking. Can’t wait to make these. Will get the flour stuff at the store next time. Thanks wil.
I haven’t tried freezing them yet but would be curious too 🌮👨🏻🍳🙌🏻
Thank you for this recipe. None i come across suggest letting dough set before rolling out, thank you for that critical part. Also about how long will these keep in the fridge before cooking?
Wow another amazing video.. love it thank you chef Yeung ❤
Bien hecho! That's well done in Spanish!
Thanks
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.
Great looking out 🙌🏻👨🏻🍳
How long are the good in the fridge before cooking?
Come to India brother to see how our mothers make them using hands only and that too very quick. We eat corn flour rotis along with sabji. 😋
Would love to, that sounds absolutely amazing 👨🏻🍳
You're Indian so, can you tell me what is the name of masa harina in Hindi or urdu??
Is masa harina the same as cornmeal? Can I make masa harina from corn meal if I grind it finely?
That’s a great question. I still don’t think it will work the same but I would be curious 🧐
No isn't the same, masa harina is corn treated with alkaline water before being grounded and dried. And cornmeal is only grounded raw corn.
Ok so who's gonna tell homeboy that the slacked lime used to treat masa harina is much, much different from lime juice?
Luca Cimarusti Yeah I was about to comment that limewater is a calcium hydroxide solution, not lime juice lol
Whoops my bad 🤦🏻♂️ I think saying limewater would make more sense. Lime juice would be quite sour wouldn’t it 😅
I have recently made nixtamalized corn with the help of baked baking powder (sodium bicarbonate, baked in an oven 250*F / 120*C for 1 hour).

@@Apollo440 how did you do this? Looking for a way to do this at home. Would appreciate your response
Hi Wil- am I in the ball park if I use 1.25 cups water and 1 cup of the masa harina? Cheers.
I’d say that’s pretty ballpark ☺️
Wil Yeung - Cook With Confidence ok thx!. 😎
I was looking for recipes a few days ago! Will you also make a what flour tortilla video?
It has crossed my mind! I most likely won’t film that until later on tho ☹️
@@YEUNGMANCOOKING no problem:)
Least informative video ever
What would oil add? Flavor ? or ? What do you think? I make my tamale with no oil , but add sauce and cream corn to the masa.
Hey man! great recipe and thanks for sharing. It's hard to find masa harina in my country. What can i use instead? Can i go with corn flour instead in recipe?
Actually the dried corn is soaked in lime, as in the mineral…not lime juice…it alkalizes (and gelatinizes) the grain which is how dough can then be made..
🤗
Hi Wil, might it be possible to make a bit softer corn tortilla by including some all purpose flour? Or is there a another way to achieve a softer tortilla that includes some corn flavour?
Steven RL Denault Just add more water and knead well. I would also suggest getting a tortilla press too. They're easy to come by and they're not that expensive...
Nice! Do you fry them?
tried this earlier before watching this video. my mistake was i didnt let the dough rest for 20 minutes. that must be why i had too sticky of a consistency with my dough.
In Mexico we make it diferent
💚💚💚💚
😇
Can we use cornmeal and plain flour? Masa harina is hard to find where im from in the UK
Awesome music in the background. What is the name of the music piece?
Masa harina yes, what brand is that..?
i dont think so this like going to a car shop and wanting a wooden table
Can it be done by polenta or corn flour???
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.
Hi...but theres got to be another way to make tacos.
Jus say they stop selling maize flour....wat alternative will u, can u use to make them?
Gotta be a way. Help me come up with a taco from scratch recipe plllllllz.
Hi, may I know the flour easy to buy? May I know Long can I keep in the fridge?
simple answer use google
Where I can get the flour & can you please let me know the name of the flour again
It’s lime (calcium hydroxide), not lime juice
So tortillas are basically uncooked makke ki roti 🤭
01:12 "Corn soaked in lime juice" is that correct? :)
My bad I should have said lime water solution 🤦🏻♂️
@@YEUNGMANCOOKING no problem, still good stuff from your channel as always.
Please type the name of flour you used!
Hiya 🙋🏻♂️ All ingredients and directions can be found in the description area of each episode 🙌🏻 Happy cooking
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!
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.
Hello Asian Hedgehog
🙋🏻♂️🦔
how do you cook them...?
On a non stick pan or skillet ☺️ medium heat about a min each side
Wil Yeung - Cook With Confidence I use cast iron, no oil
SECOND VIEWWW!
Nice 👍🏻
And what next? You fried it?
Can we add lime juice to the cornmeal to achieve the same taste as masa harina? Masa harina here is very expensive
dude use google
Funky hairstyle

Like watching paint dry.
