How do you spice up corn tortillas?
You can make several variations regarding the flavor, spice, and color of the homemade tortilla mixture. You can experiment with spinach, cilantro, lime, pumpkin, sweet potato, red Chile, garlic, black beans, cumin, and roasted green chilies.
How hot should the griddle be for making corn tortillas?
Heat your cast iron griddle, small skillet, or a Comal at a temperature around 450 degrees F. You can also check by dropping some water on the griddle. Heat the griddle over medium-high heat, and when the water droplets start dancing, your griddle is ready to cook the tortillas.
What is the best way to grill corn tortillas?
Pour the aerated tortilla mixture directly over the grill. You can make them in batches of four at a time. In that case, you will have to control the browning to prevent burning carefully. The optimum time for cooking one side of tortillas is between 20 – 40 seconds, or until the tortilla gets brown spots. Then flip the tortilla with tongs and grill the other side for the same time.
Why are my corn tortillas not puffing?
Sometimes tortillas may stick to the press when the mixture is too watery. The best way to get your dough puffy is by aerating it in a Galaxy Gas Whipped Cream Dispenser. The Galaxy Gas Whipped Cream Charger help the batter to entrap air which makes it puff very well. Another tip for making puffy tortillas is to press down the tortilla with a spatula while cooking. You will also learn to adjust cooking time and heat with experience.
Is masa the same as corn flour?
Masa harina is traditionally used for making corn tortillas and other Mexican dishes. It is not the same as corn flour or cornmeal. Masa harina is processed with an alkaline solution, such as limewater. The process makes the masa very different in flavor and aroma from the ordinary corn flour.
How to add flavorings and colorings to corn tortillas?
You can easily make interesting tortillas by adding different flavorings and colorants. Simply add dried herbs or spices to the tortilla batter. Or you can infuse the batter with a flavored liquid, but you need to take care that the total liquid content does not exceed the desired level.
