Corn Tortilla Recipe | How to Make Corn Tortillas Using Maseca

[@CookingwithShirani]

There is nothing better than hot homemade corn tortillas from scratch. Check out this recipe for some great tips.

[@IrishMissus]

This was just about the best tutorial on making tortillas I have seen. I just bought a tortilla press after going to a friend's house and having homemade tortillas for the first time. And you're right, after having them fresh and homemade, I never want to buy store bought again

[@CookingwithShirani]

Aww, thank you so much. That means a lot to hear that 🥰. I'm glad you feel the same way I do about homemade tortillas. They are the best! 🤗

[@fayebelarmino8346]

Shirani ! I made this exact recipe and my husband loved them ! your instructions were spot on. I did have alittle trouble with my masa being slightly sticky and I had a sticking issue when taking out of the plastic after pressing in tortillas press but I switched to 2 sheets of parchment paper and was able to pull off the tortillas fine 🙂. You have such a great channel and your recipes and instructions are just awesome 👌

[@CookingwithShirani]

Hi Faye! Aww, thank you so much, that means a lot ❤️. So happy to hear your husband loved them. I'm glad you figured out how to deal with the stickiness. I like that idea of using the parchment paper. Never thought of using that before. Take care 🤗

[@melanies2849]

Shirani, my Mom and I have become huge fans! We will definitely try this recipe and we look forward to watching more of your Belizean recipes! You are doing such an excellent job! Thank you!

[@CookingwithShirani]

Aww, thank you both so very much! I appreciate having you here. Hope you get to try out some of my Belizean recipes. Much love to you both 😊❤

[@primo7958]

Warm or cold water? How long do leave the masa under the damp cloth??

[@barbaramahan364]

I have a big bag of Maseca and I can't wait to try this! I enjoyed the music!

[@CookingwithShirani]

Thank you! You are going to love how fresh and good it tastes, Barbara. Enjoy❣️

[@rrpawluk2]

This is the sweetest video and though I have difficulty with making thin masa tortillas I will now try again. Your kind attitude and slow clear instructions with all the important details make me think I finally got the recipe/method that will work. Thank you.

[@CookingwithShirani]

You are very welcome. Thank you too. I'm so glad you came across my video. Best of luck with your tortillas 💕

[@parebalo2000]

Thank you for this video. I love your sweet voice and the love it shows for these corn tortillas. I have recently begun making them at home and I share your emotion. I have fallen in love with these homemade corn tortillas. I will never buy store bought again.

[@CookingwithShirani]

[@haidyevans2682]

@@CookingwithShirani They came out absolutely delicious. I did add a pinch of salt. Was not needed, but we still enjoyed it. I no longer will buy from the store. My husband says its better then the store bought ones. Thank you so much. Oh Oh 😳 Congratulations on the 2 and 1 million views videos. Amazing and proud of my Toledo gyal.

[@CookingwithShirani]

Thank you so much girl. I really appreciate that ❤. Good to hear you and your husband enjoyed your corn tortillas. Store bought ones can't compare to how fresh these taste. They just taste like the ones back home. I only buy store bought when I'm in a hurry lol.

[@xiloap]

I can't make a Tortilla worth my life, and they are my passion. yours look tempting and delicious. thank you for sharing.

[@CookingwithShirani]

You are so welcome! Haha I use to be like that. I couldn't make a tortilla to save my life too lol. I've gotten better over the years 😊

[@bigfamilyaffair]

Loved your method and I, too, love how they inflate, it really makes me happy and wanting to make them more often. I have not bought corn tortillas since I started making my own which was about the start of the covid. Thank you!

[@CookingwithShirani]

You are so welcome and thank you too! Like you, I can't remember the last time I bought corn tortillas. Homemade is really just the best. Store bought doesn't compare 🤗

Hi Shirani! Very nice to meet you. I just came from Chef Pablo's channel and he recommended us to come visit your channel. I've always wanted to make corn tortillas, so thank you very much for this great recipe and for showing us all the steps and for all the tips too! I love your tortilla holder and the beautiful cloth you use to wrap the tortillas! 😊🌷🌼

[@CookingwithShirani]

Aww, you are so welcome! Thank you too Carmen 😊. I'm glad you enjoy my stories 😍. I've never tried freezing my homemade corn tortillas because I never make enough lol. If I have leftovers I just put them in a bag in the fridge. I always freeze the store bought ones though. I never really checked how long they last but I would say a few months. Thank you for watching 🤗❤

Hi thanks for this video! I don't have a press... Can I use a rolling pin?

[@CookingwithShirani]

Hi, you are very welcome. I've never tried using a rolling pin, but I have used a frying and a pot in the past. My niece recently told me that she used a pizza pan 😁. I think anything with a flat bottom would work best.

Very well done video, thanks.. I wonder if I could cook them with my Air Fyer, I could use 1 to 5 racks. Has anyone had success, temp, time?

I never thought of cooking these in my air fryer before. Sounds interesting. If you try it out please let me know if it works.

[@laniesider2586]

How long do you knead the dough?

[@CookingwithShirani]

You knead it anywhere from 3-5 minutes depending on how much you are making. You just want it to be smooth.

[@brianappassamy3351]

Hi Should the water be warm or simply normal water plse

[@CookingwithShirani]

Just normal water.

[@primo7958]

For how long do you leave the tortillas sitting with the damp paper towel??

[@CookingwithShirani]

Leave it there till you are ready to use it. That's just so it doesn't dry out.

Do you have any for chicken dip?

[@CookingwithShirani]

Sorry I don't.

[@Djshade527]

It's me again I was wondering how many hours should I keep the corn Mas cover, you did state that information . Thank you karen

[@CookingwithShirani]

I usually make up the masa right when I'm ready to use it. So I just cover it while I get everything else ready.

[@primo7958]

Is the water cold or warm?

[@CookingwithShirani]

Room temperature tap water.

[@bikersoncall]

I realize the flame/heat needs to be pretty high, but could you give me a suggested temp? I had my pan at around 450 to 500f if the therm is correct, is that hot enough? It seemed like I needed more heat, I could get it to 600f, but I thought maybe that's too hot. So, what temp do you usually use for these, if you have a digital thermometer gun. Thanks!

[@CookingwithShirani]

I've never cooked them on a digital temp before but I would say 450-500 would work. Let me know how they come out.

[@bikersoncall]

@@CookingwithShirani Now, with the pan and pan surface temp of about 450f to 500f , tortillas are coming out good, much better than store bought for sure. I tried to pre-make some to be cooked the next day with poor results, they tend to come apart, not a total loss, but would be nice if they stayed together. Thanks for your videos!

[@CookingwithShirani]

You are very welcome. Thanks for testing all the different ways and letting me know 🤗

is this diabetic friendly?

[@CookingwithShirani]

From what I read it is okay to eat but in moderation.

[@hedykarim3570]

I love making this but I add pork lard ..it’s great

[@CookingwithShirani]

I only add lard when I'm making tamales but never for my tortillas. I'm gonna have to try that. Thank you 😊

[@nicholasfamily9048]

So if I use ready made masa it's the same recipe????

[@CookingwithShirani]

I have never tried making corn tortillas with the ready made masa so I can't say for sure. I think it would be the same though.

[@nicholasfamily9048]

@@CookingwithShirani ohhhhh.....because I made with the masa and they didn't blow up so next time I thnk I will add baking powder

[@CookingwithShirani]

Sometimes it has to do with the heat. Play around with the temp and how long you bake it. Maybe try 45 seconds instead.

[@nicholasfamily9048]

@@CookingwithShirani thank you!!!!

[@sylviacarlson3561]

I didn't hear you mention how long the dough rests before you cook the tortillas.

[@CookingwithShirani]

I don't really let it rest long. Just until I get everything else ready so maybe 5 mins.

[@Jessicamae1988]

Every time I try to make these they’re too wet/soft and break when pulling it off the plastic or it’s dry and they break. 😩

[@CookingwithShirani]

Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that Jessica. Too much water will make it wet/soft. Not enough will make it dry. Just play around with it till you find out what works for you.

[@DarlingsDomain]

Why does my tortilla stick to the plastic

[@CookingwithShirani]

Usually when it sticks to the plastic is because it has too much water.

[@anastasiamathura5401]

I tried it once but it never puff up

[@CookingwithShirani]

So sorry to hear that Anastasia. I find that any little thing can throw it off from puffing up. Either too much water, not enough water or the heat not at the right temperature, over cooking it, under cooking etc.

[@anastasiamathura5401]

@@CookingwithShirani I will try it again I think it was to soft and maybe thr heat was not right. In my country we make some5like this with flour and baking powder it puff up it is called roti but I like tortillas I had it in Mexico while visiting
