Corn Tortillas - Tortillas de Maíz (even without a tortilla press)

[@TropicanaMei]

Made perfect corn tortillas (with a press) after watching this video. Quality!

[@amdvAdriana]

Awww, this makes me so happy to read. So glad that this helped you. Aren't they so much better than store bought?

[@GeorginaWatkins-ry1xu]

Love it ! So much detail. Can’t wait to make tortillas at my daughters class !!

Great informative video! I found that using some plastic wrap and pressing tortillas between two cutting boards works pretty well too. I just made my own for the first time. It's so satisfying.

[@amdvAdriana]

I feel so happy that liked the video and tried the recipe! I love your idea of using cutting boards, smart! So satisfying, right? It's one of my favorite things to create in the kitchen :)

[@PersonalPromises]

The vibe of this video is so calm I love it 🥰

Thank you so much for this comment. I am happy that you found it helpful. I hesitate on adding too much detail to recipe videos but with something like this it is necessary :)

Mis hijos sólo comen tortillas cuando yo misma las preparo y mi esposo ni cuenta cuantas se come 😁, es una delicia saborear tortillas hechas a mano. Gracias por compartir tu tiempo 🤗 Bendiciones 🌹

[@amdvAdriana]

Mi familia esta igual! Tenemos años que no compramos tortillas, todas echas en casa!

Nice ty

[@amdvAdriana]

You are welcome, thank you for watching :)

[@Zone_Stomper]

Good tutorial. One technical point. The flip is the actual turning between the cooking stages. In other words, if you cooked both sides of a burger one time only, there would just be one flip but two stages of cooking.

[@amdvAdriana]

Thank you for sharing that with me, it makes a lot of sense, I appreciate it.

[@tooquick6]

If I make them on Saturday night, what is the best way to reheat them the next day for the party?

[@amdvAdriana]

You can steam them gently until warm. Or use the oven in a low setting. In our home we like to heat them over a cast iron (with the corn husk) :)

Thank you for the zip lock bag tip, it saved my sanity.

[@amdvAdriana]

Erik, I'm so happy to hear! You honestly can use a produce bag too. It can give you slightly thinner tortillas but requires a little more practice taking them off. I find the zip lock bag easy to start with.

[@erikfacundo786]

@@amdvAdriana Thanks, I used a plate instead of a rolling pin. It worked very well after I used the zip lock bag technique

[@alicegallegos8703]

Yay! Found your videos!

[@amdvAdriana]

Yay!

[@georgecwilliamsjr]

How big of a ball, how hot of a pan?

[@amdvAdriana]

Medium heat and the size depends on the size you want. My press is typical size and I usually do 32 grams per tortilla (this is the typical size for commercial tortillas). For small taco size, I would do 20 grams. For larger tortillas you could do 30 grams. Hope that helps :)

[@catirerubio]

Neat video. I cannot get my tortillas to come away from the plastic. Any suggestions? I tried wax and parchment paper also. no luck. Thanks.

[@amdvAdriana]

It sounds like your masa is a bit too wet. Even if you follow the exact measurements of my recipe, it can change a tad bit depending on the masa harina that you have and also the humidity levels of your kitchen. Add a little less water next time.

[@amdvAdriana]

Or, add a little bit more masa harina to the dough until they don't stick anymore. With practice you will find the right balance.

[@MrVailtown]

Nice

[@charitybankhead3030]

Do you grease the pan at all?

[@amdvAdriana]

Not this one because it's non-stick. I don't love non-stick but it's easier to learn on them first.

[@lumberpilot]

How did they make these without plastic. Surely, they didn't have plastic in the past.

[@amdvAdriana]

I love this question so much! There definitely wasn't plastic around. There is a beautiful hand technique for making the tortillas simply with the hands. My mom is still amazing at this technique but it requires much practice. I have not been able to master it by any means. In some regions of Mexico they press them down with the hand on a surface. In other regions (like where I am from) they pass the tortilla testal (the ball of masa) back and forth, quickly, until it stretches. The plastic method is obviously the modern version and a dare say soooo much easier.

That’s funny aqua net hairspray

[@amdvAdriana]

haha, I didn't use it but my hair was a mess this day.

[@brandensoutdoorb-channel8084]

Ditch the rolling pin and use a glass bowl to press them

[@amdvAdriana]

Yeah, sometimes that's easier! Glad you found a way that works for you :) Send me pictures of your tortillas next time :)

[@brandensoutdoorb-channel8084]

@@amdvAdriana where do i send them to?

[@thatzmental]

suddenly it isn't perfectly round.

[@amdvAdriana]

It happens sometimes, it takes practice.
