Homemade Corn Tortillas

I still can’t find a recipe that works well for tortillas without a tortilla press. These were ugly, and I am finding I am not a fan of masa harina. Will go for a classic flour or corn tortilla recipe next time, and try to find a method of pressing and rolling without a tortilla press.

So for southafricans, corn flour = corn meal and not mazina. Boiling water is needed to soften the corn and make it smooth but crunchy. And one cup of corn meal made me about 8 tacos. You can fry but you will need to dip both sides and quickly shape for best results

These were so good and so much better than store bought. They reheated so well also.

We didn't have a tortilla press so we used the bottom of a pot. It worked out so well.

I only put in 1.5 cups of water, I would add a bit more next time.

These are a go-to for us. Easy to make and so much better than store-bought.
