Recipe

Blue Corn Tortillas

Ingredients

Makes approx. 16 tortillas

  • 1 cup blue corn flour
  • 1 cup tepid water
  • Fillings of your choice (e.g. pineapple salsa, shredded beef, guacamole, chicken, Pico de Gallo)
Method
  1. Mix one cup of flour and one cup of tepid water with your hands until the dough is formed into a ball (add a bit more flour if it feels too sticky).
  2. Divide the ball of dough into four equal parts.
  3. Divide again into another four parts each and roll into 16 small balls.
  4. Flatten each small ball using either a tortilla press or a rolling pin.
  5. Add a tiny bit of oil to a heated frying pan or skillet.
  6. Cook the tortilla for approximately 30-60 seconds on each side. If you want the tortilla to be crispier, then flip it again and continue to cook it a few more seconds on each side.
  7. Place the heated tortillas on a warm plate and cover them with a tea towel while cooking the rest.
  8. Add the filling of your choice and enjoy!
