Real hand made tortilla (Mexican Food)

[V5R7N]

Quite the young lady. She could nearly close her eyes and do that. Native dress, lovely.

[MultiBluewaves]

So mexicans are Indian

[NVRGVUPGA]

I think is awesome that the making of tortillas was handed down to this young girl from her mother or grandmother. That's a beautiful thing! We enjoy tortillas and I'm looking forward to making them from scratch.

[mismikabella]

METATE is the the item where the girl is grinning the corn dough. It is made of stone, very heavy and the item she uses to grind the corn dough is called MANO DE EL METATE ( metate's hand) My mom had one and we would drag it because no one could pick it up!

[mismikabella]

That girl looks so young! As a little girl I used to go buy the tortillas for our meal and the owner prepared the corn dough, old fashion way, and there was a huge "comal" grilled heated with wood, the women were around it making the torillas, some of them used a little tortilla maker the kind you put a ball of masa between plastic sheets and is pressed. Other women made them by hand.

[tisytisa]

Dit is de beste tortillas... vol van smaak!!!! Love them!!! En ze ruiken zo lekker!!! <3 <3..... I'm proud to be mexican!!! =D De las mejores tortillas!!!! Riquisimas!!!!

[daddyjankie]

THANK YOU AZTECS!!

[beneathyourlove]

My abuela makes them the same way but now she uses that machine that makes the masa flat, I honestly dont know whats it called. But anyways, homemade tortillas are always the best, and they smell so good too :D!

[MsJackkyy]

VIVA MEXICO!!!

[immantiat]

If you want more authentic than this you can take a bus till the end of the road and then walk to an isolated community where delivery trucks cannot bring butane. It is the same method, only changes the fireplace, in isolated areas, the fireplace y fed with charcoal or wood, and is inside the house. Mostly the same.

[lennyrosebud13]

love home made tortillas nice and fresh! store bought tortillas are not the same!

[cheli1974]

Yo soy del estado de Morelos, y asi las haciamos cuando viviamos alla, despues de 21 a~nos todavia las hago asi de ves en cuando, aunque aqui es USA es dificil conseguir el mais seco y cal para preparar el nixtamal.

[dianaf2011]

Now that's how you make real tortillas.

Just like my abuelita makes them

[SeonhwaDaDiscPriest]

pro-skills

[CTVfilms]

who was the genious that invented that?

[EcuadorianM1]

que agilides 

[sweetbread0o]

I hate when something is called "Mexican something" tortillas are made all around central America not everyone is Mexican sorry to say.

[selenague]

@sweetbread0o The person means Mexican version of tortillas -_-

[yanfeb15]

Well, my grandmother doesn't live in a ranch or lives in a small town. In fact, she lives in a big modern city in northern Mexico, but she always makes tortillas this way. Always the best :)

[Junije1]

She can strech, tap, and flip me anytime...

[buenavistadecuellar]

In what part of Mexico was this video taken?

[lauries510]

YUMMMMMMMMMMMM! i want to walk over grab one roll it up and bite into it! Tortillas hechas a mano son las mejores.

[girlypeacenlove]

Estoy de acuredo de que las tortillas echas a mano son de lo mejor. Pero creo que debemos respetar la forma y los gustos de otras culturas al hacer las tortillas. No es correcto ponerse a insultar la forma en que cosinan ya sea Taco Bell o los "gringos". Recuerden que nosotros vinimos a este pais, y por lo cual no podemos insultar las diferencias en la cultura. No hay que ser tan ignorantes y ponerse a insultar a todo el que piense diferente. Porfavor demuestren respeto asia otros!!

[girlypeacenlove]

No porque crecimos acostumbrados a algo queire decir que es la unica manera correcta. Eso es IGNORANCIA. Ademas hasta en Mexico o en cualquier otro pais mucha comida comprada sabe horrible y no se compara a la hecha en casa.

[sonyaristizabal]

@girlypeacenlove Yo sigo en México y no planeo irme de aquí así que yo si tengo derecho a criticar, las tortillas gringas son un asco

[girlypeacenlove]

@sonyaristizabal Como dije ante, eso de criticar asi es IGNORIANCIA. Y que bueno que sigas ahi, la verdad para viajar e ir a otros paises y tratar diferentes culturas se nesecita una mente abierta, y no una mente cerrada. Tambien hay que tener EDUCACION para saber respetar otros gustos! Gente tan ignorante que cree que la manera en que crecieron y la manera que estan acostumbrados es la mejor y unica correcta me dan risa.

[teresaguerrasalazar]

@sonyaristizabal Las tortillas que se consumen en Mexico son un asco, hechas de maseca en maquinas, las verdaderas que se hacian a mano de nixtamal en comal de barro y cocidas con le~a esas si eran las verdaderas, su sabor y su textura eran diferentes.

[MeNatalya]

@teresaguerrasalazar Tienes razon, pero ahora ya nadie sabe ni como se hacen y lo digo por mi, ojala me hubieran ensenado. No pierdo la esperanza de un dia aprender.

[montana1234cartel]

@sonyaristizabal pos quedate all en mexico duuum fuck ...aqui controla los chicanos and we dont need nomore illegal imigrants in here...wit us mexicans born in u.s.a is enough...we are the new generation so fuck the last generation putos mojados me dan lastima pendejos susios nitienen estilo vaqueros dela sierra fuck all yall...

[ZealousyWon]

[garrobito007]

[crbtexxbu]

wwwaaaaa i miss my mom now

[frenchv24]

I miss grandmas tortillas she made them like this. They are so good!

[mhdez87]

Si no me equivoco compa Hectorfergo este video lo grabaste en Veracruz.!

[jnm2088]

The best tortillas are the ones my great-grandma made a mano back in the rancho.

[Silverfoxxee]

What a sweet girl.

[sandbaker1]

hey i wanna know how to do that...

[serotta2]

Wow, that is technique! My dream is to be able to make by tortillas by hand the way she does and makes look so easy. But its NOT easy to make them by hand! Mothers teach daughters and the technique is passed down; same as 5000 years ago. The method she is doing is the same way the Aztecs or Mayans would have made tortillas and the the stone grinding metate looks exactly the same as ones removed from 3000 yr old Aztec or Mayan tombs.

[arcangel1724]

native mexican make tortillas

[themissmamitha]

100% orgullo mexicano, que rico las tortillitas recien echas calientitas, omg cuantas ganas de comerme una tortillita calientita asi...

que delicia!!!!

[harleyferrari1]

Sin ayuda de un rodillo ni la máquina para planchar la masa! Increible la forma que logra redondita de la tortilla! Orgullo mexicano!

Even Without the help of a rolling pin, and neither the help of a machine for making the mix! Amazing ho...w she makes the circular shape of a real tortilla! Mexican pride!

Zonder hulp van een deegroller, en zelfs zonder een mixer voor het maken van het deeg! Onvoorstelbaar hoe ze de perfect ronde tortillas maakt!De trots van de mexicaanse keuken!

[tisytisa]

[minniemouseek]

Thanks for sharing. She didn't need a rolling pin!

[entresaco]

sorry if i insist, no 100% original. the comal is also an important issue, the hot griddle is, and i wiil be the right one. no the metal.

[328ale]

Estoy completamente de acuerdo yo vivo en san antonio texas ajajaja y la mayoria de la comida tex-mex es una copia corriente de la comida mexicana es como ir a un taco bell no saben distingir ni madres

[entresaco]

no 100% original !!! she is using butane gas !!

[hectorfergo]

@entresaco it is about the tortilla, not the heat on the "comal"

[qualqui]

@entresaco save a tree, use butane gas!

[Chapulinazuladomx]

@entresaco

if you heat you cheesburger in the microwave, in the oven or on the grill, does it affects its originality?

no seas wey inche gringo come-hamburguesas! Estas son las originales tortillas de maiz hechas a mano en el comal.

La comida mexicana es patrimonio de la humanidad

VIVA MEXICO!

[gospelnews123]

@entresaco Yes, and a metal griddle...she should be using a clay one..lol!!! But Idon't think that would make a great difference!!!

[99cacahuate]

@entresaco if you wanna make original!!!! gringos need to go back to europe !!

[12quillemall5321]

They taste much better than the one made with the store brought flour. Instead of the metate, we have a metal hand cranked flour grinder. We grind our masa twice with the flour grinder. Now we use an grain grinder from Kitchenaid. And we trade our corn with other natives. Never buy Monsanto's GMO corn stock.

[indiodemexico]

hows that for authenticity??

[RogerWazup007]

Deseo que pudiera probar una...

[erickr1980]

Я люблю мексиканскую пищу очень хорошо. : )

[purogto32]

this are tortillas. you can't make them ok, its hard. Only in mexico no matter if you have the ingredients, it does't tase the same I miss my grandmas. If you want to try them go to mexico its the only way, most likely in a really small restaurant or a house, not in a fancy or in the city.

[azukita18]

Es todo un arte hacer las tortillas asi con metate y completamente a mano. Asi las hacia mi mama cuando era chica y dice que los machucones de dedo en el metate son horribles.

[couchebag]

Tortilladora, Tortilladora,?!

We don't need no stinking Tortilladoras!

[EFARmexart]

[annmor348]

yo siempre eh kerido saber como hacer tortillas a mano, creo ke las mujeres de hoy en dia, solo sabemos hacer otras cosas no tan utiles..?!?!?!?!

[chanclotas45]

[manfestsoccer]

Wow, now that is talent.

[chalan75]

mmm que rico se mira y me alegro de no ver un comentario negativo y ofensivo la verdad muy bien esta awesome el video

[vdanielvazquez]

con la magia de sus mano la mujer mexicana daba sabor al paladar.

hoy dia solo habren la bolsita comprada en la tienda hooo gracias gabachos.

[checoavalos]

This is the way my grandmother used to make tortillas and huaraches.

Ummm with fresh (white cactus)Nopales and fresh beans topped with salsa me with molcajete.

UMMM the best in the world. I would not change those tacos with beans and cactus for a steak.

[yoserfbrooks]

esas damas de verdad son admirables bien shambeadoras yo las miro cuando vienen para aca en los campos de culiacan sinaloa y ve verdad son gente humilde y admirables arriba gente eeeeeeeeeee y de sus tortillas que puedo deir que ya se antijaron y ya agarre hambre asiq ue me voy aunque por unas

[deltacoAZ]

Wow, I enjoyed her craftsmanship, she is truly an expert, and her homemade tortillas are probably so good.

[Cotijense01]

Estas si son tortillas commo las que hacia mibisabuela, nada de maseca, puro nixtamal...se me antojaron.

[pennystinkard]

Funny thing is that looks bored. So, while making tortillas in a way that we can't even hope to copy, she's not only doing it masterfully, but is probably thinking about something else while doing it. Now that's impressive!

[miekhead]

Omg now I know why tortilla means dyke in slang spanish......I will never look at a tortilla in the same way even again *smirks* *goes to happy place in head*

[MorriganL]

En las ciudades tambien, y en las casa donde hay abuelas:D Saludos a todos.

[vorten]

wow, if you take this lady.

you take one Object Oriented Programmer.

you take one Mechanical Engineer.

And Finally an Electrical Engineer.

Lets see if they can create a machine capable of mass producing these, cause I can see they taste damn good.

[reyver32]

where is this restaurant, and tell me exactly the region please

[gotademiel15]

Mis respetos para estas mujeronas haciendo tortillas a pura mano, y para las que no hacemos tortillas asi,a veces hasta se nos hace malobra ir a la tortilleria.honestamente.Salud­os

[chabelia64]

So hungry 1 tortilla to go..

[SexyBlueEyezChick]

asi las hacen en guatemala

[PaoPRiscy]

tambien las hacen asi en mexico.... yo e hecho asi de harina y maiz. No me salen tan redondas como a mi mama y mi abuela...mas bien me salen cuadradas.

[J4RG]

this is the real tortilla !!!!!

[Caliboyz101139]

if you dont make it like this...theres no point in calling it mexican food lol...im looking at you Taco Bell!

[PaoPRiscy]

taco bell aint no mexican food..it is just a cheap copy

[Caliboyz101139]

lol..in mexico there are tons of girls who know how to do this (well most of mexico)

they are very jealous girls though lol

[camerinobarron]

well in rural areas, most of them know, but not in the cities

[PaoPRiscy]

what your talking about i am a city girl and most of my friends and cousins now how to make them.

[camerinobarron]

well, congrats... but in my family nobody does. They go just to the tortilla place and buy them. Good for you that you know how to make it but you must acknowledge that in big cities is not common to know.

[tabbed74]

agree!

[FonkyLynx]

Polish guy over here is now making tortillas...

Thanks hector...

bob/The Ghost of Elvis Project

CANADA

[margot980]

wonderful video, hector.

[asbobarrett]

I just tried to make some. I watched 3 or 4 videos and then tried it. I don't have a press, or the right plastic and they just fall apart. like it it took 3 goes to get a piece 3 inches square into the pan. How do they do it ? the stuff just falls apart, its flour and it just wants to get back to being flour.

[LEGIONARIO1970]

Yeah this is the traditional way to may tortillas, the only thing missing is the "comal de barro", tortillas get a special flavor when they are made on a "comal de barro".

Greetings from Mexico!!!

[tabbed74]

No sabia eso del comal de barro. que sabor toman?

[LEGIONARIO1970]

Es dificil describirlo aqui, pero puedes hacer el experimento tambien poniendo agua en una olla de barro, veras que el sabor del agua toma un sabor muy agradable con el tiempo aunque se trate de simple agua sabe mas rica.

[tabbed74]

Cierto, lo del agua si los sabia. El olor!

Tomo un olorcito como a tierra mojada!

[evegpt]

The ones who know how to do this are blessed. In hard times, we will not be able to go and buy them ready made. This is a nice thing to know how to do to feed your family.

[mjbdes]

mmmm !! so deliciuos are corn tortillas made with fresh "masa". Thanks very much for this video !! is super.. Saludos from Mexico and Poland

[ScarletFBL2]

That was great. I didn't think that everyone had to had a tortilla press, and I was right! After watching this, I'm so hungry now.

[passiveMenis]

Mexico is so full of culture.

[johntabbot]

Looks good. Very different from the ready made crap we get here in the states.

[thebluebunny1]

also is there a special recipe and method to making them?

[thebluebunny1]

thank you for the info what kind of stone is best to make one of these metate from and the rolling device?

[Huaraco100]

I'm afraid a little late, but can tell you the "Metate" (used to grind corn) and the "Molcajete" (used as a mortar to make sauce) are made of black volcanic stone.

[thebluebunny1]

what is that table called she is using to roll the dough with ?

[hectorfergo]

Metate

[Titoyjohana]

@thebluebunny1 its is call molcajete

[thebluebunny1]
