Even a so-so corn tortilla made at home is better than the best one at your local grocery store (unless, of course, you live in Texas and have HEB!). But this video series is for the taco-eaters who won't settle for anything less than a world-class tortilla. Using hot water instead of lukewarm drastically changes the masa's texture. Finding clues for proper hydration separates the amateurs from the pros. An innate sense of how hard to press will bring everything together into a corn tortilla so perfectly pliable and resilient that you couldn't crumple it, even if you tried.

This was so helpful. Thank you so much. A good 35 years ago I arrived from the Southern USA to Los Angeles as a very young adult. The old, old lady next door, who didn't speak a word of English, would bring me a plate of homemade tortillas every morning. I cried the day that I had to move from there, because I knew I'd miss the warmth and the love she showed me every morning. Six months later I came by with flowers and a homemade cake and was told by her great-granddaughter that she had passed about a month after I had moved. I didn't eat corn tortillas for several years after that - the memories would come flooding back and it was just too painful. Now, all these years later, I am going to make my own homemade corn tortillas. _Miss you, Rosa. Thanks for the memories._

WOW, where do I start? I am 62 years old born and raised in CA my whole life, so I know and am used to authentic Mexican food. We have been living in Japan for that last 6 years, and of course there is no real Mexican food and the only corn tortillas are frozen (suck big time). My wife did some digging around and came across a recipe for the corn tortillas and then I found this video. Bought all the stuff and a new pan. Holly crap even our daughter who has been living in Texas for 3 years was amazed as well me. These are the best I have ever had and we are going to throw a taco party for our Japanese friends and blow them away. Thanks and thanks.

I worked at Azteca, the place that makes this corn flower. After handling it, I would come home at night with pockets full of this product because it's flower and gets everywhere. I learned quickly about this staple and used it to my advantage. To this day I still buy it and the generic Walmart brand is the exact same as the MASECA the only difference is the wrapper. Everything about this video is correct and it can be a challenge getting your ratio of warm water correct but after practice it becomes second nature. Save money and get yourself fed cheaply with this product. Masa saved my life, kept me fed, and saved me money ever since discovering it.

A little tip for everyone, don't give up. Making tortillas is a skill developed over time, you need to get used to the texture, look and feel. Also you need to understand how your pan or comal heats so don't worry if they don't turn out good at first.

I recently learned about using ground red lentils to make a taste healthy flatbread. I was given a couple of bags of lentils but haven't had the chance to try it out yet. But now I'm thinking that not only do I need a cast iron skillet but that I should probably find a Mexican market to buy a tortilla press. Might make it easier in making them.

This is one of the best instructional videos I've ever seen on the internet. I am not exaggerating at all. The information was presented in a way that was mildly entertaining, but most importantly, with clear explanation of, not just 'what' to do, but the 'why' to go with the 'how'. That 'why' can be the most important part of teaching as it clarifies the more basic parts of the lesson. I enjoyed that this was done with appropriate intelligence and authority rather than putting on a gimmicky show. And then, the "what if" segment at the end - in cooking, things go wrong all the time. The presenter has clearly experienced the problems and either worked out or learned the solutions to resolve those issues. The last thing I'll say is one of my most aggravating pet-peves in videos; faceless computer voiced narrations. Here, the presenter is on camera and actually human-voicing the video! 🙂 Many do this, but so many do not. The presenter is clearly here to instruct, and make some money doing it. As opposed to so many internet presenters who are clearly just posting something / anything whether they are knowledgeable about the subject or not, for the sole purpose of cashing in on the ad money of clicks, likes, subs, etc... To me, that makes all the difference. I've been making New Mexican food for a very long time. But I'm always looking for new ideas or techniques to do better. This presentation actually did give me some added info that will be useful and appreciated. So simply, thank you.

My sister in law used to live in Texas and would buy the regular pre packaged corn tortillas from walmart, until I visited and introduced her to "tortilleria" quality tortillas (I'm from Mexico btw) that I found out they sold at one of her local mexican stores. After that she never looked back. Then she moved to WA and she was confident she was gonna find real tortillas near her new home, but soon came to the realization that not all mexican stores are made equal.

Thank you so much for taking the time to put this video together. Made my first batch today. After 3 testers I started getting puffs! Had an amazing breakfast with my tortillas, scrambled eggs, and a nice tomato/onion/jalapeno/lime pico I whipped up. Bomb tacos. The time you put into laying out exactly what to look for in a proper masa dough is SUPER on point! You weren't kidding about the fresh playdough. It really brought me back to childhood with that. Only thing I didn't do was buy a press. I used a small glass casserole dish as my press, which worked well because I could see them spread as I pushed. Once again, thanks dude. I don't think I'll ever buy another pack of them again, not when they're this easy!

i’ve been attempting to make corn tortillas for 2 years. After giving up on the “solo tienes que usar las manos” method from my aunt I tried to go to the internet to learn. Almost all of it sucks and is not honest with the viewer, corn tortillas are just one of those things that you need to try over and over to get right, there is no recipe or magic ratio. This video perfectly explains that and is the best resource for people just starting out. He’s done it once again

I personally recommend flipping 2 times. After putting the tortilla on the heat, wait until it starts to slightly change color on the top side, then flip and wait a few seconds until a bit of brown bits appear on the bottom side, then flip again. It will almost always puff up at this point, and you just have to wait a few seconds for this side to also get some bits of brown and done.

Hi, just a comment about how hard it is to press a certain thickness or thinness. The tortilla is aproximately the thickness of a quarter. So I decided to put the quarter near the outside edge and dough ball in the middle. Then when you press down, the press will stop when it reaches the quarter. Perfect thickness every time. Love your video.

WONDERFUL VIDEO! I just subscribed because I want to view more of this guys video's. So clear, concise and easy to understand with really good information about technique. I look forward to trying to make these myself. I am not happy with what is available in the stores for purchase so I was looking for a video to teach me how to make my own. Thank you very much.

I gave up making corn tortillas years ago, but this has shown me what was wrong (too moist), so I am going to try again. Thank you so much!!

Really good tips! I'm going to try some of them. I've gotten very proficient at flour tortillas, but only so-so at las de maíz. And I like corn tortillas when fresh (not from the grocery, thank you very much). So I learned some things from this video. But I didn't like the results I got from a press (and it IS cast iron) so I use a Pyrex baking dish I can see through, put the masa ball between the plastic and press down with the baking dish and I can see how evenly it's flattening out. Then I remove the top plastic and just whap! that bad boy on the hot cast iron using the other plastic. But I'm always looking to improve my process. Thanks for the video!

I still remember grinding corn with (for) my great-grandmother by hand some 45 years ago. I feel guilty using store bought dry masa mix but my cheat code is replace the hot water with a dried chile rehydration tea and sprinkle the masa balls with a tiny bit of mineral rich salt before pressing, beautiful and delicious.

I've been making homemade corn tortillas for over 20 years, but have never figured out how to get the hydration exactly right. Thank you for sharing your expertise in this outstanding video. BTW, masa flour will stay fresh longer if you store it in the freezer. You have a new subscriber.

This is the only corn I can find in my NE Ohio stores and I have almost bought it several times but was worried it wasn't the correct stuff. This was a very helpful video, I can't wait to try making my own!

Quick tip for the Tortilla press: If you have a round oven dish made from glass, preferrably with two handles on two sides, use that as an improvised tortilla press. Works like a charm plus you can see the size of your tortilla.

I have a giant mogogo for making injera which works perfectly for this. set the temperature and go. my cheat is to make a dozen small at a time and carefully place them between moist paper towels. the cooking surface will hold ~6 at a time but you can vary the size.
