BLUE CORN TORTILLAS FOR SALE RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat a cast iron skillet or a comal over medium heat. Prepare a clean kitchen towel to wrap tortillas to keep them warm and cut 2 plastic sheets about 10x10-inch (25×25 cm) each.
• In a medium bowl add masa-harina and start adding water while mixing with your hands until combined.
• Knead for a minute or two, adding a little more water if needed, until a non-stick y and soft dough forms.
• Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Form balls and cover them with a damp kitchen towel to prevent dough from drying.
• Place one of the balls onto one of the sheets and press it a bit with your fingers to make a patty.
• Cover with the other plastic sheet and then place over a heavy baking dish pressing firmly to shape a 6-inch (15cm) round tortilla.
• Gently remove the plastic on each side of the tortilla, placing it carefully on your hand.
• Lay the raw tortilla on the hot skillet/comal and cook for about 40-45 seconds, then flip it up and cook for another 45 seconds.
• Turn the blue tortilla over again and cook for another 15 seconds, until it begins to puff.
• Place the blue corn tortilla between a kitchen towel to keep it warm. Repeat the steps with the remaining dough.

Steps:

• If you have a cast iron skillet heat it up on medium heat. I used my tortilla grill. I also used my tortilla press, but you can roll the tortillas out into 7-8" rounds if you like.
• Place the cornmeal in a bowl and pour the hot water over it. Stir, mix well and let it sit for 15-20 minutes. Then, mix in 1/4 cup of all purpose flour into the dough. Knead 2-3 minutes. If necessary use a little more flour. You want a softish type of dough. Return the dough to the bowl and cover and leave set for 1/2 hour.
• Divide the dough into 8 pieces. Make into 8 balls and press one ball on the tortilla press. If using your hands flour them and press one dough ball into a patty to about 7-8" around, or you can also make a patty and roll it out with a rolling pin, that's easier. Make sure it's even all around.
• Cook each tortilla for 1 minute on each side. They will be flecked with brown on both sides.
• When cooked remove, wrap in a towel in a little pile. Serve warm with your favourite fillings.
• Enjoy!
