This was so helpful. Thank you so much. A good 35 years ago I arrived from the Southern USA to Los Angeles as a very young adult. The old, old lady next door, who didn't speak a word of English, would bring me a plate of homemade tortillas every morning. I cried the day that I had to move from there, because I knew I'd miss the warmth and the love she showed me every morning. Six months later I came by with flowers and a homemade cake and was told by her great-granddaughter that she had passed about a month after I had moved. I didn't eat corn tortillas for several years after that - the memories would come flooding back and it was just too painful. Now, all these years later, I am going to make my own homemade corn tortillas. _Miss you, Rosa. Thanks for the memories._
A little tip for everyone, don't give up. Making tortillas is a skill developed over time, you need to get used to the texture, look and feel. Also you need to understand how your pan or comal heats so don't worry if they don't turn out good at first.
I recently learned about using ground red lentils to make a taste healthy flatbread. I was given a couple of bags of lentils but haven't had the chance to try it out yet. But now I'm thinking that not only do I need a cast iron skillet but that I should probably find a Mexican market to buy a tortilla press. Might make it easier in making them.
WOW, where do I start? I am 62 years old born and raised in CA my whole life, so I know and am used to authentic Mexican food. We have been living in Japan for that last 6 years, and of course there is no real Mexican food and the only corn tortillas are frozen (suck big time). My wife did some digging around and came across a recipe for the corn tortillas and then I found this video. Bought all the stuff and a new pan. Holly crap even our daughter who has been living in Texas for 3 years was amazed as well me. These are the best I have ever had and we are going to throw a taco party for our Japanese friends and blow them away. Thanks and thanks.
I have a friend living in Japan up north near Morioka, and sometimes when I visit I bring pinto beans and things so that he can make burritos. What part of Japan do you live it? I usually visit my friends once a year.
"You should know that depending on who's watching, your tortilla may be expected to 'puff up' as proof of it's craftmanship." You presented this so hilariously. Great writing! And the material itself is presented very well. This came at a good time for me -- I just moved to an area without easy access to good tortillas, and I was thinking about making some treks, but heck, why not make them myself? Thank you!
This is one of the best instructional videos I've ever seen on the internet. I am not exaggerating at all. The information was presented in a way that was mildly entertaining, but most importantly, with clear explanation of, not just 'what' to do, but the 'why' to go with the 'how'. That 'why' can be the most important part of teaching as it clarifies the more basic parts of the lesson. I enjoyed that this was done with appropriate intelligence and authority rather than putting on a gimmicky show. And then, the "what if" segment at the end - in cooking, things go wrong all the time. The presenter has clearly experienced the problems and either worked out or learned the solutions to resolve those issues. The last thing I'll say is one of my most aggravating pet-peves in videos; faceless computer voiced narrations. Here, the presenter is on camera and actually human-voicing the video! 🙂 Many do this, but so many do not. The presenter is clearly here to instruct, and make some money doing it. As opposed to so many internet presenters who are clearly just posting something / anything whether they are knowledgeable about the subject or not, for the sole purpose of cashing in on the ad money of clicks, likes, subs, etc... To me, that makes all the difference. I've been making New Mexican food for a very long time. But I'm always looking for new ideas or techniques to do better. This presentation actually did give me some added info that will be useful and appreciated. So simply, thank you.
Couldn’t agree more. This video was an absolute game changer for the novice tortilla maker. I learned so much after our first tortilla disaster. Hahah god bless!
thank u mister barkley for sponsoring this video :) dinnerwithbarkley.com/ Also, here’s part 2 of my corn tortilla lesson: th-cam.com/video/wRqzq8zUC5M/w-d-xo.html
Fresh corn tortillas made in the grocery store is one of the things I didn't realize I would miss when I moved to New England from Texas. The corn tortillas here are so thick and dry!! This video has inspired me to get a press and start making my own.
For real, I had never had a fresh corn tortilla growing up, so I thought I hated corn tortillas. Nope, just the ones in the supermarket are incredibly disappointing.
My sister in law used to live in Texas and would buy the regular pre packaged corn tortillas from walmart, until I visited and introduced her to "tortilleria" quality tortillas (I'm from Mexico btw) that I found out they sold at one of her local mexican stores. After that she never looked back. Then she moved to WA and she was confident she was gonna find real tortillas near her new home, but soon came to the realization that not all mexican stores are made equal.
I'm Egyptian and our mamas throw slippers/flip flops like nobody's business. First time I heard Latina mamas do that I truly felt some things are universal 😌
i’ve been attempting to make corn tortillas for 2 years. After giving up on the “solo tienes que usar las manos” method from my aunt I tried to go to the internet to learn. Almost all of it sucks and is not honest with the viewer, corn tortillas are just one of those things that you need to try over and over to get right, there is no recipe or magic ratio. This video perfectly explains that and is the best resource for people just starting out. He’s done it once again
Yes. Most people confused "simple" with easy. Corn tortillas are simple to make, but they're not easy. It took me many tries to get acceptable results.
Fresh, homemade tortillas are incomparable to anything you can buy. Thanks Internet Shaquille for the tips. It’s time for me to walk over to the Mexican market and get a press, now that I’ve mastered two plates, a cut down the sides ziplock bag and my body weight as a press. The press looks so much easier!
After buying a shiney new Victoria 10" press and your video. I finally got everything together and ... you made me look like a pro! Got the dough right, cast iron on a camp stove, only thing was I didn't get as much puff as I wanted. Got the crush and tear right, very good maiden voyage! Thanks!
My word! A TH-camr who can use the phrase, "A whole OTHER", properly - because the word "nother" is not a word. You deserve props for that along. I'll try out the tortilla recipe. Gracias por compartir.
Thank you so much for taking the time to put this video together. Made my first batch today. After 3 testers I started getting puffs! Had an amazing breakfast with my tortillas, scrambled eggs, and a nice tomato/onion/jalapeno/lime pico I whipped up. Bomb tacos. The time you put into laying out exactly what to look for in a proper masa dough is SUPER on point! You weren't kidding about the fresh playdough. It really brought me back to childhood with that. Only thing I didn't do was buy a press. I used a small glass casserole dish as my press, which worked well because I could see them spread as I pushed. Once again, thanks dude. I don't think I'll ever buy another pack of them again, not when they're this easy!
It is really satisfying to make tortillas that puff and taste so good. As always, your video is on point. Take this mans advice, it took me a few months of practice to get every one of the steps down. But now theyre picture perfect puffers and crumplers every time.
I personally recommend flipping 2 times. After putting the tortilla on the heat, wait until it starts to slightly change color on the top side, then flip and wait a few seconds until a bit of brown bits appear on the bottom side, then flip again. It will almost always puff up at this point, and you just have to wait a few seconds for this side to also get some bits of brown and done.
I'm an Australian (qualified baker) and I'm so pleased I found this! Super easy instructions and in a really friendly way. I've learned a couple of thing watching, thanks!
I've made so many tortillas the last few years and have felt like a partial failure every time cuz I rarely got that puff, even though the end result made for great tacos. It's nice to hear that that isn't a standard I necessarily need to judge myself by, but at the same time, you provided some great tips I'm gonna take to the comal with me to continually improve my tortilla game.
We ran across your channel the other day and ended up watching a bunch of episodes in a row. Very interesting and funny, too! Today I tried your tortilla technique and I finally made great tortillas! I’ve been trying for years and most batches had maybe only five edible tortillas. Today they were all perfect! Thank you for your help!!
I have a tortilla press that I use on occasion. I've made tortillas a few times but not often enough to develop the skill. It's good to have a video on the subject from a content creator I actually trust.
Shaq thank you, I finally had the confidence to go out and make my own corn tortillas and on my second attempt they were already cohesive enough to make into a taco or a sope. And they taste fantastic too.
I’m so glad I found your channel, also the fact you featured Ethan’s channel means I’m watching the right kind of dudes show me how to be a home cook 😎 thank you 🇲🇽
Last week, I watched a video on making corn tortillas. I ordered and awaiting my new Victoria cast iron press and Masienda to arrive. Then just now came upon your video, the best I've seen. Thank you.
This video is so hecking useful! I've been making fine-I-guess tortillas, but just getting the dough texture right makes the whole process so much less stressful, since the pressed dough rounds don't stick/tear as you handle and cook them. Thank you!
Aloha, I have watched countless videos on tortilla's! I do make great tortillas now but this confirmed my mix. During lockdown I started cooking like crazy and discovered lots of home made ideas. Super video! Mahalo from Maui!
This was incredible. I'm very happy to consider fresh corn tortillas as something I know to make. Something better than neatly any other tortilla I've had from a restaurant, let alone the grocery store. I feel like the only way to make it better is to refine technique and attempt variants. This tortilla press has paid for itself after two sets of tortillas in way of fun and taste. I recommend people take the jump.
I've just found your channel and I'm in love after watching a few videos. So informative! So well done! I've learned a lot already and i feel much more confident about my next attempts at Mexican dishes. Thank you so much! I'll definitely keep watching!
Finally made this for the first time today. Living in a place that only has store-bought stuff I didn't have much to go on, but your direction and instructions were perfect, especially regarding the wet/dry texture. They turned out incredible! I burnt them a little but that's just knowledge for the next time!
Thank you for this video. I have been struggling a lot with making tortillas.They keep ending up to thick and brittle. I just upgraded my tortilla press from the aluminum that didn't work at all to a cast iron. Now I know that I need to figure out how to get my massa a finer grind and use hot water and more water.
Literally went back to your doomsday prep video yesterday, threw together some corn tortillas for breakfast this morning. They were tasty, but now I've watched you crush a tortilla and seen it spring back to life, so I think lunch is going to be more tortillas
Made some for dinner. The dough was a bit too dry but I managed to squish the best specimen and it popped back into shape. Made tacos with pulled pork and a celery slaw, and my heretofore-corn-tortilla-disliking girlfriend devoured them. Shaq I gotta say you've done it again.
This is the only corn I can find in my NE Ohio stores and I have almost bought it several times but was worried it wasn't the correct stuff. This was a very helpful video, I can't wait to try making my own!
Damn, Shaq. Are you stalking me? I bought masa harina just a few days ago and had been looking at videos from channels like Rick Bayless and Masienda. Good timing.
This is great! I've been very intimidated by making my own corn tortillas. But I recognize how worthwhile it is to master since fresh corn tortillas are soooo dang good, while store-bought are utter garbage.
I happened to visit your pottery merch. I just bought 2 pasta plates. Been looking for something like this. Absolutely genius. Dinner plates are to shallow and bowls to steep. Pasta plate is just right! Thanks Shaq!
Absolutely excellent. Thanks for the concise explanations of some of the finer points. I've made plenty of tortillas before but always had some doubt about fine grained details. Just call me abuelita after watching this! 😅
Really great video. I've made home-made tortillas twice with high-end masa. The first time was excellent and the second time it was disappointing. Obviously I need to know the tricks. Your tips will help a lot.
Made these tonight for the first time in my life, and man they were awesome! Might add a pinch of salt next time, but the texture and corn flavor were so much better than store bought. Perfect vehicle for Chicken Tinga. Barkley tortilla warmer broken in tonight too, love it!
I made my first ones today. The first one I over cooked I had the temp too high. I didn't get a serious puff (I think I waited too long to use the dough and I didn't make them thin enough) still they turned out really good. Better than anything I've gotten from the store. Thanks for the video. I'm gonna keep trying! 😊
This was so helpful. Thank you so much. A good 35 years ago I arrived from the Southern USA to Los Angeles as a very young adult. The old, old lady next door, who didn't speak a word of English, would bring me a plate of homemade tortillas every morning.

Thank you for sharing that story ❤
Love this. Be the Rosa for someone else! Pass on that beautiful tradition
Gosh, hard to believe there are people like Rosa in the world
sobbing 😭
I’m tearing up from this story ❤
Shaq has gotten really, really good at making youtube videos
And they're still less than 10 minutes long, even with the sponsor ad!
which is amazing cause right as he blew up he was talking about stepping back and quitting youtube.. then boom
What's with all the anime weeb pedophiles with pictures of children?
He's also lost weight and grown hair.
Thanks mom 😉
A little tip for everyone, don't give up.
Making tortillas is a skill developed over time, you need to get used to the texture, look and feel. Also you need to understand how your pan or comal heats so don't worry if they don't turn out good at first.
Also, set expectations. While your first few batches are going to be a bit ugly, they will taco so much better than any store bought tortillas.
Thank you!!!
I'm mildly allergic to corn, so I nixtamalized brown rice and ground it to make masa and tortillas. Turned out pretty good on the second attempt!
Woah that’s wild
Interesting.
WHAT
That's amazing. I'd e interested to see the process
I recently learned about using ground red lentils to make a taste healthy flatbread. I was given a couple of bags of lentils but haven't had the chance to try it out yet.
But now I'm thinking that not only do I need a cast iron skillet but that I should probably find a Mexican market to buy a tortilla press. Might make it easier in making them.

Do a vid on Pakistani Chicken Karahi and tandoori naan. I dont think you can because you'll keep on orgasming in the video.
Nice! I hear the people behind that brand are pretty dope
these are some very pleasant ceramics, i imagined they were made by a very enthusiastic dog named barkley before i realized this was your brand
love the vids and love the hat, cheers!
Just bought my first plate this week, can't wait to add to the collection!

I’ve been using ready-to-cook corn tortillas, I swear the ancestors put this video in my recommendies to shame me.
There's a carniceria next to me that sells balls of pre-made masa. By "ready to cook", do you mean they're also pressed into shape for you?
This is a fantastic video. Your style of teaching is just so comprehensive and yet straightforward. Well done.
I'm an Australian (qualified baker) and I'm so pleased I found this! Super easy instructions and in a really friendly way. I've learned a couple of thing watching, thanks!
Make a little deeper research on that brand… it is gross. Mexican government is banning the type of corn the use to make it.

This is the best video I’ve found on this thank you! So much is technique and that’s what I didn’t get from other videos.
Thank you. I love you. We all love you. You’re appreciated.
Awesome video, this is exactly what I was looking for!
Thank you for this well put together instructive video! 👏🏾

perfect timing 🙌 I just got a tortilla press and planning tacos pastor next weekend
I have been doing Mesa for 100 years, and this is the best demo and extremely well done! OLAY!
Also, I'm very glad you mentioned the steaming! It's the most important element.

Something better than neatly any other tortilla I've had from a restaurant, let alone the grocery store.
I feel like the only way to make it better is to refine technique and attempt variants.
This tortilla press has paid for itself after two sets of tortillas in way of fun and taste. I recommend people take the jump.

Excellent presentation/delivery skills!
I gave up making corn tortillas years ago, but this has shown me what was wrong (too moist), so I am going to try again. Thank you so much!!
I've had so much trouble making tortillas. I'm so excited to try these tips out
Do you remember what you had a problem with?
@@internetshaquille according to your video, too wet! I'll use a little less water next time and see how it goes
I need to talk to the manager of TH-cam for not showing me this until 4 weeks after. Netshaq is a day one watch
Wow first time watching your video. Very detailed and informative. Thank you!
You really are good at making me want to try making them! Thank you
Excellent! Thanks.

Thank you. Thank you for sharing this information.
It’s a pleasure to serve :)
Absolutely excellent. Thanks for the concise explanations of some of the finer points. I've made plenty of tortillas before but always had some doubt about fine grained details. Just call me abuelita after watching this! 😅
Excellent video, thanks!
Just made my first successful batch of corn tortillas! Thanks Internet Shaq!
That makes sense thank you so much for the advice ! 🙏
You raise the bar, Shaq! Great video
Great job on the descriptor of how much moisture should be in the dough.
Ordered the Apron you are wearing in the video :D ty for the tortilla recipe
Really great video. I've made home-made tortillas twice with high-end masa. The first time was excellent and the second time it was disappointing. Obviously I need to know the tricks. Your tips will help a lot.
Super informative and funny- Thanks Dude!
Made these tonight for the first time in my life, and man they were awesome! Might add a pinch of salt next time, but the texture and corn flavor were so much better than store bought. Perfect vehicle for Chicken Tinga.
Barkley tortilla warmer broken in tonight too, love it!
I made my first ones today. The first one I over cooked I had the temp too high. I didn't get a serious puff (I think I waited too long to use the dough and I didn't make them thin enough) still they turned out really good. Better than anything I've gotten from the store. Thanks for the video. I'm gonna keep trying! 😊
I am on TH-cam all the time, but I really enjoyed this video.
