Homemade Corn Tortilla Recipe

 

Homemade Corn Tortilla Recipe

Homemade Corn Tortilla Recipe is a simple Mexican flat bread made with cornmeal also known as Makki Ka Atta. Serve these corn tortillas along with Salsa, Sour Cream, Guacamole and spicy refried beans.


Homemade Corn Tortilla Recipe


The Homemade Corn Tortilla Recipe is simple and quick with just a few ingredients like maize flour, salt and hot water. The hot water acts like a binding and the corn partially cooks itself in the heat allowing it to bind itself into a dough. Although the traditionally recipe does not add wheat flour, you can optionally add 1/4 cup recipe, so it becomes easier to roll it out. 

If you like Mexican Cuisine, then you must try a few of the recipes below.

Makes:

6 corn tortillas

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Makki Ka Atta (Yellow Corn Meal Flour) , also known as masa harina or makki ki atta
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 cup Hot water, plus a few tablespoons
  • Whole Wheat Flour, or Maida or dusting and rolling

How to make Homemade Corn Tortilla Recipe

  1. To begin making the Homemade Corn Tortilla Recipe, keep all the ingredients ready.

  2. Into a saucepan, add the water and salt and bring the water to a boil.

  3. Once it comes to a boil, turn off the heat.

  4. Add the corn flour/ Makki atta to the hot water and keep stirring it.

  5. It will come together to form a dough.

  6. Cover the pan and allow the tortilla dough to rest for 20 to 30 minutes.

  7. After 20 to 30 minutes, knead to make a smooth dough. If the dough is still sticky, add a little corn flour at a time and knead to make smooth dough.

  8. If it is too dry, then sprinkle a little water at a time and knead to make a smooth dough.

  9. Place the dough onto a clean surface and knead until pliable and smooth. Knead for a good 5 minutes until the dough is smooth.

  10. The humidity in the hands and the heat from the water will bring the dough together and make it smooth. If dough is too sticky, add more masa harina; if it begins to dry out, sprinkle with water.

  11. Preheat a cast iron skillet or a heavy bottomed skillet.

  12. Divide dough into 8 to equal size balls. Using a rolling pin or a tortilla press, dust the dough portions on wheat flour or Maida and roll out into a 6-inch diameter circle.

  13. Ensure you use enough flour for dusting the tortillas, so it does not stick to the rolling pin and tear away.

  14. Also ensure when you roll, you roll with light pressure and not put too much pressure.

  15. Place the rolled-out tortillas on to the preheated skillet and allow to cook for approximately 30 seconds. You will notice that the tortillas will start to puff.

  16. Flip over to the other side and cook the tortillas until they puff this side as well.

  17. You can optionally place them on a flame and make them puff fully.

  18. Repeat the process with the remaining dough portions and store the tortillas covered with a towel to stay warm and moist until ready to serve.

  19. Serve the Corn Tortillas with Roasted Vegetables and Mexican Salsa.

• I am so glad I found http://www.stretchthatdollar.com/.
I love http://www.stretchthatdollar.com/ because it is someone sharing their knowledge of savings and freebies in a day when so little people want to share anything.
The grocery bag deals are rarely for any of the stores in my area, but I pass the information on to others, that also clip q-pons and do their best to live frugally.
I do make sure I check the sunday coupons against the grocery deals that are posted, just to be sure I didnt miss something of interest on my own. (I have been known to miss a few...LOL)
I have saved so much by ordering items from the hot deals of the day too. Toys for my son and grandson . A clock for my father, that was made by a company that he has been searching for, since last fall. He loved it so much he ordered another one for his girlfriend.
Being a stay at home mom, after being the major bread winner in our family, our income has decreased by 2/3! http://www.stretchthatdollar.com has made stretching our very meager budget so much easier.
So...Thank you for all that you do, it is greatly appreciated.

• I can find what I need by coming to your site and it's my favorite and usually the only one I visit for the best deals. Right now I'm looking for a deal on a hand vac. My 5 yr. old vacuumed up a bowl full of water with my last one. It no longer works, but atleast he didn't electrocute himself!
