I teach you how to make corn tortillas from scratch, using masa harina. You don't even need a tortilla press. This video is Part 1 of the full video recipe "Carne Asada" Tofu Tacos. For all the parts of the recipe and full cook-along video click below.
I grew up in a small village in Guanajuato Mexico and had the privilege to spend hours in wood stove kitchens with my mom, cooking meals with ingredients right from the farms. In 2013, I was part of the Season 4 MasterChef cast and have been sharing my recipes since. My specialty is Mexican Vegan/Vegetarian food.

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.

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.

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 3 жыл бұрын

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 3 жыл бұрын

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.

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

@amdvAdriana Жыл бұрын

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 2 жыл бұрын

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.

Do you grease the pan at all?

@amdvAdriana Жыл бұрын

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

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

@amdvAdriana 2 ай бұрын

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 :)

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

@amdvAdriana 2 жыл бұрын

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.
