    In case anyone goes out and makes the mistake that I did, please note that maize/corn flour isn't the same thing as masa flour. Masa flour is when the corn is treated with an alkali so that it has more of a dough texture when mixed with water. I failed twice using maize flour and had to re-watch this video & do some googling to understand what I did wrong. It might be common knowledge to some of you but not to others. You learn something new everyday! Thanks for sharing this recipe 😊.

    I cant believe how popular tortillas are in the world now, Mexican archaeologists have found ancient clay pans dated 500 b.c. (2500 years old) in Oaxaca, Mexico, so, at least we have been eating tortillas the way we know them today since 500 b.c.
    But lets not forget we have been eating corn (at least here in Mexico) since 8000 b.c. (10 000 years ago).
    This has to be one of the most ancient foods in human history.

      @@nimaljayasiri6065 There is NO lard or shortening in the mix for traditional CORN tortillas. I did not mention it simply because it is NOT an ingredient. These are NOT flour tortillas, and it is NOT ok to add to corn masa.

    I don't know why, but I love your accent! I was married to a Mexican, & live in Texas, where I have been exposed to plenty of accents. But yours was different somehow. Also I like & greatly appreciate your video. I could never get anyone to teach me or show me these things like how to make tortillas, & tamales, etc. before. Now I can just look up whatever on TH-cam & be blessed by people like you. Guess who will get the credit before God for such blessings?! One of the greatest blessings anyone can give or receive is teaching! Again, Thank you.

Suggest you consider: 1) temperature of comal (needs to be super hot), 2) the amount of water in the masa, 3) time to 1st turn (as soon as edge appears slightly done and 4) cook for ~ 1 min before the 2nd turn. It will puff! Have fun and enjoy! Please let me know how they came out. Thanks!

    Too bad I can't get real corn Masa flour where I'm at. I grew up with authentic Mexican, South American, and Carribean food all around me as a kid. Even though I'm not Latino myself, I might just as well be. Very few things warm my soul like a good plate of Ropa Vieja or a bowl of real Gaspacho. And what she said about real tortillas is the God's honest truth. Even the Mexican owned mass production companies, don't compare to the simple masterpieces that come out of La Cocina de Abuelita. Once a year my wife and I drive 2 hours away to the only Mexican restaurant in Germany that I know that is authentic. The owner and I served together in the Army. He is originally from Ciudad Juarez and good food is his life. His suppliers are constantly asking what he actually serves because he only orders raw products. He makes everything himself. Even his own aged tobasco sauce. 15 different Salsas. It's so worth the drive. I get home sick just thinking about a Papa Rellena or an Empenada. Thank you for sharing your wonderful culture with the rest of us.

    Used this method and it came out perfectly the very first time. Well the recipe anyway. It's a little trickier using the torilla press. The first one I pressed too hard and it was too thin. Couldn't get it of the plastic. The second one I just pressed lightly and it was perfect. 🤙

    Great tutorial! Thanks for sharing! We just moved to Hong Kong from southern California and I'm trying to make my own tortillas since we can't buy them here. Unfortunately the recipe for tortillas on the bag of maseca called for about twice as much flour for the same amount of water. They were so dry and didn't turn out well at all. I'll be using your tutorial for tonight's dinner.

When we moved back to the United States my toddler had a trotilla from the store and the look on his face was like he ate something gross and he spit it all out of his mouth haha. Im so glad to be able to watch you in english too. God bless and thank you for your lovely channel ❤.

    @pandaphil 9 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    My first try didn't come out very good. The dough was sticky, so I added a little more flour before cooking, so they were kind of crumbly. They also needed more salt since they didn't really have any taste, and since I don't have a press, I tried using my hands and they ended up looking more like pancakes than tortillas. I guess I need to keep practicing. :)

    • @JaujaCocinaMexicana
      @JaujaCocinaMexicana  9 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Phil Bolton Hola! Many thanks for your comment. Tortilla presses can now be found pretty frequently online and in Mexican markets, and it is always a good idea to have one when cooking Mexican. You may instead follow the method without a press in my video of Gorditas here th-cam.com/video/UckEGXhPPt0/w-d-xo.html or make by hand from scratch - called "tortear a mano" shown in detail in my video of Tlacoyos with blue corn masa th-cam.com/video/CmTOKVfopwI/w-d-xo.html. Keep trying. The results are fantastic and delish. "Practice makes perfect". Enjoy!
