Happy Birthday - 2 Years Bakd&Raw
FEBRUARY 19, 2021
If you've been to Mexico, California, Florida or Texas, the Mexican's favorite spots outside their home country I'd say, you probably had the chance to try "Authentic Mexican Corn Tortillas". But let's start with the definition: A tortilla is a thin, flat pancake or flatbread made from maize flour typically served with a savory filling.
Thus, even though wheat flour based tortillas have become widely popular all around the globe, the original tortilla is made from maize flour, in particular white maize flour. White maize flour has a very distinct taste and is much less sweet compared to its yellow counterpart we are familiar with in the US and Europe.
Tortillas are actually super easy to prep and require very little ingredients. You need water, salt, original corn flour as ingredients as well as a a tortilla press to prep the thin tortillas. However, if you don't want to invest in a press, you can also use your classic rolling pin.
Corn Flour (Harina de Maíz):
I purchased mine from a store called MexGrocer as they sell the flour comparatively cheap in large quantities. For a smaller oder quantities, Amazon and Rewe are also good choices.
Tortilla Press:
This is my absolute favorite press. I promise, it will last you forever.
Over the past years, I've experimented quite a bit with my favorite corn dish and realized that there are endless possibilities to give tortillas a nutrient kick. Here are some examples
- Deliciously healthy and protein-loaded Spirulina Tortillas
- The seasonal summer highlight: White Corn Tortillas with currants
I hope you enjoy your corn tortilla party as much as I do every time I prep them for myself, my family and my friends. Like always, I would love to see your delicious result and repost it on my social channels. So make sure to tag me on Instagram, Pinterest or Facebook.
