Homemade corn tortillas

[BarrysDaughter]

In your local Mexican grocery shop that made me howl laughing oh to have all those different cultures on the doorstep, this is the back of beyonds we are luck we have a chinese take away lol :0) xxxJoolsxxx

[barstowmama]

@BarrysDaughter LOL Why do I assume that everyone lives within driving distance of the local Carniceria? OMG...you're doing better then I am. We don't have a Chinese take away near us. I have to make it at home...or drive quite a distance. LOL

[BarrysDaughter]

@barstowmama Bet your home made tastes better :0) xx

[sunshine1buttercup1]

xoexo

[barstowmama]

@edenbainbridge At least he made the effort poor dear. LOL Thanks for watching the whole video. I know it's a long one. Love you poopsiedoodle!

[bunny9585]

Do you have a flour tortilla recipe? I have one that has been in the family for ages.

4 c flour

1 tsp salt

1/2 c shortening

1 1/2 c water

and you mix it all together, and then roll them out! Delicious!

[barstowmama]

@bunny9585 Love flour tortillas and i have the same recipe that you've sent me! Go figure! I'm gonna try and use my press for the flour tortillas...it's a stretch, but the press is super heavy! I'll let you know how it works. :-)

[LemonieRainbow]

Great video :]

Where did you get the tortilla press? I can never find them here in town.

[barstowmama]

@LemonieRainbow The press came from Mexico. It's handmade out of mesquite wood, weighs about 15 pounds but worth every dime I paid for it. Try ebay under "mesquite tortilla press" or I can give you the website where I purchased mine. If you don't want something that large, there's always cast iron presses that you can get from Amazon.com. They run about $19.95.

[bunny9585]

I love your press!! I need a real good one. We have one that is plastic from the mexican market and it broke, and it didn't flatten them very well..

[LemonieRainbow]

@bunny9585 I had the same thing happen to me! 

[barstowmama]

@LemonieRainbow Gotta watch that plastic! Oi!

[barstowmama]

@bunny9585 OMG...never plastic! The leverage you need to press down will kill a plastic one every time. If you'd like a cast iron one...amazon.com for $19.95. Don't get aluminum either. The handle always breaks. If you want to invest in one like I have, you can try ebay or I can send you the website where I bought mine from. Search under "mesquite tortilla press."

[barstowmama]

Try your local grocery store or carniceria and you should be able to find some Manseca or Masa. You can find it in the flour/sugar/oil isle of the grocery store. Easy to make and easier to eat! LOL

[Justasimpleservant]

@barstowmama I'll be looking....thanx again for another great idea:)

[Justasimpleservant]

Now you done did it (excuse the ebonics.......lol)!! I will definitly be doing this as well!!!!!! Wow!!!! Could I use Corn flour or Corn Meal?

[barstowmama]

@Justasimpleservant Sorry hon...the answer to your question is the one up above your comment. I don't know how I forgot to hit the reply button. I feel rather silly right now. *blushes*
