This is the sweetest video and though I have difficulty with making thin masa tortillas I will now try again. Your kind attitude and slow clear instructions with all the important details make me think I finally got the recipe/method that will work. Thank you.
Hi Shirani! Very nice to meet you. I just came from Chef Pablo's channel and he recommended us to come visit your channel. I've always wanted to make corn tortillas, so thank you very much for this great recipe and for showing us all the steps and for all the tips too! I love your tortilla holder and the beautiful cloth you use to wrap the tortillas! 😊🌷🌼
Aww, thank you so much for coming over to my channel. I do appreciate that. Nice to meet you too! I love your channel already and haven't watched any of your videos yet 😊. I'm so glad you find my video helpful 🙏❤
Shirani ! I made this exact recipe and my husband loved them ! your instructions were spot on. I did have alittle trouble with my masa being slightly sticky and I had a sticking issue when taking out of the plastic after pressing in tortillas press but I switched to 2 sheets of parchment paper and was able to pull off the tortillas fine 🙂. You have such a great channel and your recipes and instructions are just awesome 👌
Hi Faye! Aww, thank you so much, that means a lot ❤️. So happy to hear your husband loved them. I'm glad you figured out how to deal with the stickiness. I like that idea of using the parchment paper. Never thought of using that before. Take care 🤗
Hey hope you had a well spent Christmas and new year with the other half of the family, Because a know Belize da home. A get this notification today lol.
@@CookingwithShiraniyes a make sure a get it lol. Mines was okay as well. Mi girlfriend they made a big pot a Relleno(black dinner) they cook the chicken whole and stuff it with grind pork and a had mi corn tortilla too.
Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that Jessica. Too much water will make it wet/soft. Not enough will make it dry. Just play around with it till you find out what works for you.
I love how easy! Can I freeze them, if so how long? Thank You so much 😊 I’ve said it before and I’ll say again I just love your stories you have about back home in your country ☺️ no matter where we’re from somehow someway we “All” can relate thank you again 🙏🤗
Aww, you are so welcome! Thank you too Carmen 😊. I'm glad you enjoy my stories 😍. I've never tried freezing my homemade corn tortillas because I never make enough lol. If I have leftovers I just put them in a bag in the fridge. I always freeze the store bought ones though. I never really checked how long they last but I would say a few months. Thank you for watching 🤗❤
Shirani, my Mom and I have become huge fans! We will definitely try this recipe and we look forward to watching more of your Belizean recipes! You are doing such an excellent job! Thank you!
Loved your method and I, too, love how they inflate, it really makes me happy and wanting to make them more often. I have not bought corn tortillas since I started making my own which was about the start of the covid. Thank you!
You are so welcome and thank you too! Like you, I can't remember the last time I bought corn tortillas. Homemade is really just the best. Store bought doesn't compare 🤗
hi me and my husband we are fan of yours whats is your name my name is sandra im sorry im asking u it is bad im commenting in my husband joseph cell phone comment me ok my friend bye my friend bye sandra i can do tortillas but not good ok
This was just about the best tutorial on making tortillas I have seen. I just bought a tortilla press after going to a friend's house and having homemade tortillas for the first time. And you're right, after having them fresh and homemade, I never want to buy store bought again
@@CookingwithShirani They came out absolutely delicious. I did add a pinch of salt. Was not needed, but we still enjoyed it. I no longer will buy from the store. My husband says its better then the store bought ones. Thank you so much. Oh Oh 😳 Congratulations on the 2 and 1 million views videos. Amazing and proud of my Toledo gyal.
Thank you so much girl. I really appreciate that ❤. Good to hear you and your husband enjoyed your corn tortillas. Store bought ones can't compare to how fresh these taste. They just taste like the ones back home. I only buy store bought when I'm in a hurry lol.
Thank you for this video. I love your sweet voice and the love it shows for these corn tortillas. I have recently begun making them at home and I share your emotion. I have fallen in love with these homemade corn tortillas. I will never buy store bought again.
I could never get my tortillas right until i watched your video. The thickness was my problem this entire time after all the videos i watched this one finally helped me achieve tortilla greatness lol no, seriously thank you!
Hi, you are very welcome. I've never tried using a rolling pin, but I have used a frying and a pot in the past. My niece recently told me that she used a pizza pan 😁. I think anything with a flat bottom would work best.

I realize the flame/heat needs to be pretty high, but could you give me a suggested temp? I had my pan at around 450 to 500f if the therm is correct, is that hot enough? It seemed like I needed more heat, I could get it to 600f, but I thought maybe that's too hot. So, what temp do you usually use for these, if you have a digital thermometer gun. Thanks!
@@CookingwithShirani Now, with the pan and pan surface temp of about 450f to 500f , tortillas are coming out good, much better than store bought for sure. I tried to pre-make some to be cooked the next day with poor results, they tend to come apart, not a total loss, but would be nice if they stayed together. Thanks for your videos!
So sorry to hear that Anastasia. I find that any little thing can throw it off from puffing up. Either too much water, not enough water or the heat not at the right temperature, over cooking it, under cooking etc.
@@CookingwithShirani I will try it again I think it was to soft and maybe thr heat was not right. In my country we make some5like this with flour and baking powder it puff up it is called roti but I like tortillas I had it in Mexico while visiting
There is nothing better than hot homemade corn tortillas from scratch. Check out this recipe for some great tips.
I have a big bag of Maseca and I can't wait to try this! I enjoyed the music!
Thank you! You are going to love how fresh and good it tastes, Barbara. Enjoy❣️

You are very welcome. Thank you too. I'm so glad you came across my video. Best of luck with your tortillas 💕
I can't make a Tortilla worth my life, and they are my passion. yours look tempting and delicious. thank you for sharing.
You are so welcome! Haha I use to be like that. I couldn't make a tortilla to save my life too lol. I've gotten better over the years 😊
I'm subscribing because she got straight the point and I understood the steps.
Thank you. I appreciate that ❤️

You are very welcome and thank you too! Hope you enjoy 😊

For how long do you leave the tortillas sitting with the damp paper towel??
Leave it there till you are ready to use it. That's just so it doesn't dry out.
Hi
Should the water be warm or simply normal water plse
Just normal water.
Hey hope you had a well spent Christmas and new year with the other half of the family, Because a know Belize da home. A get this notification today lol.
Oh good, glad you got your notification lol. Yes the holidays was well spent 😁. Hope yours was too.
@@CookingwithShiraniyes a make sure a get it lol. Mines was okay as well. Mi girlfriend they made a big pot a Relleno(black dinner) they cook the chicken whole and stuff it with grind pork and a had mi corn tortilla too.
Mein I wah go da fi unu house caz unu know how fi do it. Da weh yuh live agen 😅
@@CookingwithShirani lol a live da kings park. Weh welcome fi come. Far from where you originally from right?
Oh ok, well thanks 😊. My family come from way down da PG. I come from village lol
Very well done video, thanks..
I wonder if I could cook them with my
Air Fyer, I could use 1 to 5 racks.
Has anyone had success, temp, time?
I never thought of cooking these in my air fryer before. Sounds interesting. If you try it out please let me know if it works.
@@CookingwithShirani
It didn't work out, so I'm using a pan now.
Thanks for letting me know.
I didn't hear you mention how long the dough rests before you cook the tortillas.
I don't really let it rest long. Just until I get everything else ready so maybe 5 mins.
Every time I try to make these they’re too wet/soft and break when pulling it off the plastic or it’s dry and they break. 😩
Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that Jessica. Too much water will make it wet/soft. Not enough will make it dry. Just play around with it till you find out what works for you.

Warm or cold water? How long do leave the masa under the damp cloth??

The last corn tortillas I bought...did not mold for 6 months....I will never buy or eat them again.
Omg! That's crazy 😳. These are so much more better for you.
I have tried all your recipes and the have all worked for me. Thank you. Can you store left over masa? How do I store it?
You are welcome. I'm so happy to hear that 🥰. You can freeze your leftover masa.
8:24 Those tortillas are ready for tacos/enchilladas/burritos/fajitas/quesadillas
Yesss!!! 😀
I watched the corn tortilla video just now. I really appreciate how simple you explain every thing.
By the way, Happy New Year Shirani!!!
Thank you so much! I appreciate that Sandra ❤. Happy New Year to you too 😊
I have the same product that you do to make them with. Thank you, i was wondering how to make them!
You are very welcome. Have fun making them 😊
Why does my tortilla stick to the plastic
Usually when it sticks to the plastic is because it has too much water.
Thanks i am learning alot from you, you are a good teacher
Aww, you are so welcome! Thank you too. That means a lot 😊❤
Blessings your corn tortilla is amazing thank you

Happy New Year Shirani! Great home recipe. Hope to see more recipes and beautiful nail colours this year 💝💅🏽 Cheers
Happy New Year to you too! Aww, thank you for your sweet comment as always 🤗❤
It's me again I was wondering how many hours should I keep the corn Mas cover, you did state that information . Thank you karen
I usually make up the masa right when I'm ready to use it. So I just cover it while I get everything else ready.
Pleaae, Please make a video showing how to make stew chicken for breakfast tacos!!!! I miss tacos
I'll put it on my list of requested recipes 😊
Hi thanks for this video! I don't have a press... Can I use a rolling pin?
Hi, you are very welcome. I've never tried using a rolling pin, but I have used a frying and a pot in the past. My niece recently told me that she used a pizza pan 😁. I think anything with a flat bottom would work best.
Awesome video. Very helpful. Thank you! 💜

Are these the same ones you fry for garnachas?
Yes Jessica.
@@CookingwithShirani thank you 🙏🏼
I tried it once but it never puff up
So sorry to hear that Anastasia. I find that any little thing can throw it off from puffing up. Either too much water, not enough water or the heat not at the right temperature, over cooking it, under cooking etc.

Sweet corn tortillas, Shirani.
Thank you very much!
Yeah.
So if I use ready made masa it's the same recipe????
I have never tried making corn tortillas with the ready made masa so I can't say for sure. I think it would be the same though.
@@CookingwithShirani ohhhhh.....because I made with the masa and they didn't blow up so next time I thnk I will add baking powder
Sometimes it has to do with the heat. Play around with the temp and how long you bake it. Maybe try 45 seconds instead.
@@CookingwithShirani thank you!!!!
