Homade tortillas


Tortillas were a glaring blank spot in my Mexican food repertoire, so I decided to give them a shot. This is batch three, and made following the directions on the bag of Maseca Azul.

They turned out pretty good. I shouldn't have gotten blue masa for the first time. It's harder to see when they are cooked, I think.

    Maseca Azul makes for wonderful quesadillas too

    We’ve made corn tortillas with white masa, and they were really good. Would love to try blue, I need to find some Maseca Azul somewhere. Thanks for posting!

    I have made both white and blue corn tortillas from Masa Harina from Masienda. I tried blue originally, and did like 3 batches. I feel the blue is harder to massage , it seems grainier. But I do prefer the flavor of the blue. The thing I have tried with each color & definitely recommend is making Tomatillo tea for your tortilla water! I use like 4-5 tomatillo husks, I put them in a 1 cup Pyrex measuring cup, and take water from a tea kettle , and top the whole thing up. I use a soy sauce dish for sushi to keep the husks submerged, and I cover the whole cup with plastic wrap for a half hour. Then squeeze the husks to get all the color out of them and into the tea. I then add some water to the correct amount and nuke it for one minute. Gets the water at 135F. This has made my tortillas nice and soft, and they like to puff nicely!

    If they taste half as good as they look… brilliant.

    Welcome to the homemade tortilla club!

    Love Maseca Azul, myself. I’ve also tried some of the Masienda offerings of masa harina. In my opinion, Maseca is just as good for a lower price.

    Tacos look great!
