FRESH MASA CORN TORTILLAS

Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 12 tortillas

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 1/2 pounds fresh yellow or white fine-grind corn masa for tortillas (see Cook's Note)
Kosher salt
Vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Knead the masa, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/3 cup water in a large bowl with your hands until well incorporated and the masa is soft and pliable but doesn't stick to your hands, about 4 minutes. If the masa is still dry or crumbly, add a tablespoon or two more water and continue to mix.
  • Cut and remove the zip top from a gallon freezer bag. Cut the two sides of the bag leaving the bottom intact so that the bag can open and close like a book. If using a tortilla press, trim the cut sides of the bag to fit the flat surface of the tortilla press. (If you don't have a tortilla press, you can use a smooth-bottomed 10-inch skillet to press and flatten the tortillas. Use the plastic in the same way you would use with the press except place it between the countertop or work surface and the bottom of the skillet.)
  • Divide the dough into 12 balls about 1/4 cup each (or 54g.). Arrange them on a rimmed baking sheet and keep covered with a damp kitchen towel until ready to use.
  • Heat a medium cast-iron skillet or large griddle over medium-high heat.
  • Place the prepared plastic bag inside the press so that the folded side of the bag is on the hinged side of the press. Working with one dough ball at a time, open the press and the top side of the bag and place a ball in the center of the press. Fold the bag over the ball and gently press, holding a steady, firm pressure for a few seconds to flatten the ball to a 7-inch round. Open the press and peel the top bag from the dough. Place the dough on your open palm and peel off the remaining plastic.
  • Brush the preheated pan with vegetable oil. Working with one at a time (unless using a large griddle), cook the tortillas for 30 seconds on each side, flipping 3 times, until just starting to brown in spots, 90 seconds total. Stack and wrap the tortillas in a clean kitchen towel and keep warm. Repeat pressing and cooking the remaining dough balls.
  • Serve the tortillas warm.

CORN TORTILLAS



Corn Tortillas image

This is the real thing! A simple mixture of masa harina and water results in the most wonderful corn tortillas you ever tasted. The secret is to use a cast iron pan! You can buy masa harina at Mexican grocery stores or in the ethnic food aisle of large supermarkets.

Time 1h5m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 ¾ cups masa harina
1 ⅛ cups water

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, mix together masa harina and hot water until thoroughly combined. Turn dough onto a clean surface and knead until pliable and smooth. If dough is too sticky, add more masa harina; if it begins to dry out, sprinkle with water. Cover dough tightly with plastic wrap and allow to stand for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat a cast iron skillet or griddle to medium-high.
  • Divide dough into 15 equal-size balls. Using a tortilla press, a rolling pin, or your hands, press each ball of dough flat between two sheets of plastic wrap.
  • Immediately place tortilla in preheated pan and allow to cook for approximately 30 seconds, or until browned and slightly puffy. Turn tortilla over to brown on second side for approximately 30 seconds more, then transfer to a plate. Repeat process with each ball of dough. Keep tortillas covered with a towel to stay warm and moist until ready to serve.

  • First gauge how 'wet' your masa dough is. If it sticks to your hands you'll need to add some masa harina to dry it out. I added 1/4 cup masa harina to 2 cups of masa dough. Combine well using your hands.
  • Separate the dough into golfball sized rounds, this will make the tortillas approximately 4 inches across.
  • Flatten the dough balls using a tortilla press or a flat bottomed casserole dish. Be sure to line each side of the dough ball with plastic or ziploc pieces. The tortillas should peel off the ziploc easily; if not then you might need to add some masa harina to the dough.
  • Heat a skillet or comal to medium heat. Add a tortilla and flip after 10 seconds. Then cook each side for 1-2 minutes or until light brown spots are forming. Alternatively, you can skip the quick flip and just cook each side for 1-2 minutes.
