Can’t even wait

Hi from Indian in Singapore. Thank you for this traditional recipe. Can you please show how to make Taco shells with masa harina ?

[@Engineer_Heathen]

I've always been a corn tortilla hater. Much preferred flour tortilla. This was the first time I tried a homemade corn tortilla, and I can now admit defeat. Corn tortillas are just superior in every way. Man were these good! This is my go to channel for Mexican food!

[@amaribadass]

Right I hated corn tortillas I still do if there from the store but homemade I’ll eat them by there self 🤤

[@AC-hj9tv]

Glad you saw the light

[@joeb4142]

Traditionally Mexicans eat corn tortillas. Flour tortillas are mainly in the north and US.

[@lourdeslopez9833]

The best tortillas ever Rosanna. Thank you. You were right on.

[@benda777nba]

I am almost 40 and still struggle to get that puff! You are lucky your mother let you try on the comal my mother never let me help in the kitchen so thanks for teaching those of us who didn't have the most teaching madre :)

[@the6cat.]

These came out flawless! Your explanation was perfect. I get really excited when they puffed up and got better each one I did. Thank you!

[@suemichalka7941]

Villa, I'm delighted with this tortilla recipe! I am; however, so curious about what you put ON your taco. Looks great!

[@annsmith5096]

Just tried these tortillas and they were a huge success! Your method is easy and delicious - best corn tortillas we've ever had. They were just as good as the amazing ones I had in Mexico recently. We loved the puff! Thanks for the great video.

[@user-fk8ue9dk9s]

I watched several videos before I came across yours. and i do loves your recipes. as an american Indonesian who loves mexican cooking, Thank you for sharing your passion of cooking with us.

I tried your recipe last night for my carnitas tacos. This is the first time for my tortillas to cook perfectly and puff every time! Loved your recipe and thank you for

[@curtismulvenon5156]

Thank you for posting this! Cooking for your family is such a rewarding experience. Your corn tortillas recipe made our day today.

[@VillaCocina]

So Glad I could help! ☺️

[@repo4206]

I made these today, they were deli ious!! They didn't puff up, but still amazing.

[@byoung1520]

My 3rd time making this recipe and on the last one of the batch it puffed up beautifully!

[@VillaCocina]

Yay! practice makes perfect. Thanks for sharing. Keep making tortillas and you will become a PRO.

[@tilmanluther1887]

I recently got into making corn tortillas I'm glad I found this video

[@assoverteakettle]

Ahhhhh, finally!!! I've been making my own homemade tortillas lately following a standard recipe of using only maseca flour and although they're tasty I was going crazy trying to figure out how i could get them more pliable so they don't break when I roll them tight over fillings. Great secret family tip on adding all purpose flour to create some gluten so they are pliable. Looks like huevos rancheros for breakfast tomorrow!

[@VillaCocina]

Glad I could help, let me know how they turn out.

[@assoverteakettle]

@@VillaCocina Turned out way better by adding AP flour. No more breaking in half! I still need practice rolling it onto a comal (or cast iron frying pan in my case) but they were tasty! Thank you again.

[@Pluscelamemechose]

You stack them in a folded self cotton towel, and let then steam each other.

[@johnryan3102]

[@VillaCocina]

oh yes! it sure is!!! 😊

[@lorill2631]

So thankful for this video. I just made all corn tortillas and none of them puffed as well they seem dry… I’ll give your addition of flour a try … thanks 🙏

[@rogerlaro]

Thanks so much! These were delicious and easy to make with your great instructions. I can tell it’ll take years to be amazing at doing it but nonetheless they turned out really great and I don’t think I’ll need to be buying them anymore at the store!

Congratulations! Enjoy your freshly made tortillas

[@lisetteanna9712]

Ohhh I’m so excited to try these , the first time I tried it wasn’t very good but I think it’s because I only used masa and not flour so I’m hoping that’s the key! Thank you for sharing!😊

Fantastic channel! Thanks for the great recipes.

Thanks for all these wonderful recipes. I am sure to try some of them even though some ingredients are hard to come by over on our side of the pond. I have a request for you, because cannot really get good nachos over here. I would love to see you make these crisp restaurant style nachos i tasted so often when in the States. I have masa harina and a taco press. Best regards from Germany

[@jordansiqueido2101]

Hi Rosana I'm a HUGE fan of your delicious recipes! ..even though it is a dish from San Antonio, please do your take on the insanely delicious Puffy Taco from Texas. I grew up near the only Puffy restaurant in California. Rosana, this diah has your name written all over it. Bobby Flay did a Puffy Throw-down episode once.

[@carmelitagarcia5657]

Hi love your channel! Was wondering around what temp do you have your stove and about how long does it take to cook one tortilla? I think I might have my pan too hot.. but they were still good! Thank you for the recipe! I will keep trying!😊

[@lauriewurster3022]

I haven't tried making my corn tortillas with any white flour yet. But I love that you add NOT to waste a good tortilla just because it doesn't puff! And I will try some of your helpful hints!

[@VillaCocina]

Awesome ☺️

[@lauriewurster3022]

@@VillaCocina And I'm learning that practice, practice practice makes each batch of corn tortillas better, and they puff better too. I have to adjust my temperature sometimes because it gets too hot or not hot enough. thank you for your help !

Thanks for sharing what a great idea it’s always breaks when l use corn alone

[@trizhaay]

Homemade tortillas are the best! I just made vegan tacos with soy curls. With the homemade tortillas they are delicious!

[@Atcraftcity]

Hi Rosanna and Nelson! Tried the corn tortillas. But unfortunately I used the wrong corn flour! It was confusing on the Bobs Red Mill pkg because there was a recipe for corn tortillas so I figured it would work, although the package did not say instant corn masa. They were tough and didn’t puff up….mostly the toughness was disappointing. I’ve got the right flour coming from amazon tomorrow…will try again. I know your recipe will work this time around cuz you’re a great teacher. Love your videos!!

[@VillaCocina]

Hi there! I hope it all went well for you on the second try!

[@onlymebaby.9249]

Thanks. Im going to try it with flour.

[@joshciesielczyk2815]

I live in Colombia but I love Mexican food so much more seasoning in Mexican food. Hopefully I can find some of these ingredients to cook this food.

[@VillaCocina]

I hope so too!

awesome... I watched many of your videos and while not always following your directions, (typical man), the dishes always come out delicious... says my Mexican wife.. 😂 😂 😂

@@VillaCocina they were amazing!! Got the puff in my 3rd tortilla and have it nailed bow. What I learned was I was leaving it too long in the first side and it was cooking through. The trick was to flip it a bit earlier. Thanks again so much!

I tried this today! The recipe was delicious but none of my tortillas puffed up. A lot of them got big bubbles, but the top and bottom didn't separate the way they're supposed to when they puff. Any ideas on what I did wrong/what I can change next time?

[@susanflores7994]

Use hot water and let rest 20 minutes before cooking

[@forgiven2812]

I read you answer questions of some but still haven't answered my question? Would like to have a good tortilla press. There are many out there to choose from so I was hoping you could make a suggestion.

[@pequodexpress]

Does adding all-purpose flour aid in the puffing, or can you also get consistent puffing using only masa harina?

[@barry4967]

What is the surface temperature of the comal?

[@louettesommers8594]

Do you think it would work as well substitute gluten free flour for the all purpose? My daughter can’t have any wheat at all. Thank you, you’ve done an excellent job sharing this recipe.

[@VillaCocina]

You could actually leave the all purpose flour out and adjust the water amount (less). Also, when it comes to Instant corn masa flour (harina) , make sure it is gluten free as some brands may manufacture their products in the same place as other wheat product. Hope this is helpful.

Yes, after completely cooled, wrap in a clean kitchen towel or parchment paper. Place inside a zip lock bag. Store in the fridge. Reheat over a comal, as needed.
