On our eco adventure, we learn how to make corn tortillas with Margarita, our favorite tortilla cook, using regional ingredients found in Mexico and North America.

RECIPE FOR CORN TORTILLAS

2 Cups Masa Harina
1 to 1/2 Cups Water
To make around 16 tortillas, place 2 cups of masa flour in a bowl.

Add 1 1/2 to 2 cups of very warm water to the masa flour (according to the directions on the package).

Mix in and rest for 5 to 10 minutes.

Knead the dough for several minutes, do not over knead.

Shape masa dough into a ball the size of a golf ball.

Pat balls flat with hands or utilize wax paper and a tortilla press. (See video as reference.)

Cook on hot pan until lightly toasted and air pockets are forming.

Serve hot!
