The are cheap to buy, but not expensive and much nicer when homemade.

We also have a good recipe for corn tortillas that uses masa harina for that real authentic taste.

  2. Little by little add the water and mix to a dough.
  3. Cover with a damp cloth and leave for 20 minutes.

  5. Roll out on a floured worktop.
  6. Cook for about a minute on a hot tava or griddle pan until they puff up.

Chef's notes

Vegetable shortening is a solid vegetable fat such as Crisco or Trex. Lard could be used without any problems but the recipe would no longer be vegetarian.

Chef's note

If you don't have a tortilla press, use 2 chopping boards or just two sheets of wood as a substitute. Place ball of dough between two non-stick surfaces such as small squares of Bake-O-Glide and stand on them!
