Quick recipe finder Corn tortilla

Corn tortillas are made with masa harina (finely ground cornmeal) and are very quick and simple to make. A great accompaniment to many Mexican dishes, they can also be deep fried to make tortilla chips.

Ingredients

Method

  1. Mix the masa harina and salt in a bowl. Add the water and olive oil and mix until a smooth dough is achieved. (If it’s too sticky add a little more masa harina, or, if it’s too dry, add a drop more water.)

  2. Divide the dough into 24 balls. Cover and leave to rest in the fridge for 10 minutes.

  3. Flatten the balls of dough with your hands – alternatively, use a tortilla press or roll them between two layers of cling film. Flatten to approximately 3mm thick.

  4. To cook the tortillas, lightly oil a flat griddle pan or frying pan and place over a hot heat.

  5. Cook the tortillas for approximately one minute on each side, or until lightly coloured.
