Thanks to Diesel Dave I got some Masa Harina and wanted to make some corn tortillas today. I mixed 2 cups masa with 2-1/3 cups of water and a teaspoon of salt. Ran it all up in my blender with a dough hook to mix, then kneaded by hand till the consitancy was right, wrapped it in plastic wrap to rest and then divided it into individual balls and cooked them in my cast iron skillet. I am missing something, they weren't thin enough at first so I thinned them down with a rolling pin. Do you guys put any lard in your tortillas? The taste is flat. I tried deep frying some and made some chips, these were good but still I am missing something. What is it? Help
Fried taco shells
Chips with Yardbird rub.
Why do they puff, I want flat chips like I get in Mexican Restaurants with salsa. Anybody know what I am missing here, please feel free to chime in here. I can't buy these things and have to make them myself.
Thanks :thumb:
