Can any one give me a recipe for making mexican tortilla?!
Answers: If you live in an area with a high population of Mexicans you can usually find corn masa mix at the local market. One popular brand is Maseca. You mix with water to make the "masa" (dough). You then roll into balls and flatten (either by hand or with a tortilla press) and grill like you would a pancake. You can see the product here: http://www.mexgrocer.com/2440.html. Most people don't make masa from scratch anymore. Even the Latinos either buy the dry flour and mix it themselves, or buy the masa already prepared from a local store. They sell it by the pound and usually comes in clear, plastic bags.
I think you have to crush corn and flour and roll it out on a stove or something. im not sure. hope this helps
2 cups un-sifted Bread Flour
3 teaspoons Baking Powder
1 teaspoon Salt
1/4 cup Lard, chilled
3/4 cup Warm Water
Directions:
Mix the flour, salt, and baking powder in a bowl. Add the lard and mix in with your fingers until you have completely crumbled it in. Slowly add the warm water and mix with a large spoon. Take the ball out and put on a "floured" board and knead 3-5 minutes-until elastic. Store in a warm place inside an oiled, plastic bag for 1 hour. Pinch off pieces of dough about the size of a golf ball (1 inch) and let rest 15 minutes. Roll the balls into circles approximately 7 inches in size. Cook on a HOT (450-degrees) griddle turning only once. Remove to a basket lined with a cloth towel or put between a towel until cool. After the tortillas have cooled completely, store them in a plastic bag. The best homemade tortillas by far!
Yield: 9-10 tortillas.
You can also substitute Crisco for the lard.
Buy some masa and mix it with some water(only a little).
