A Mexican staple and now popular all over the world, Nici prepares homemade Mexican Tortillas. Recipe Below.. http://www.youtube.com/TheWorldKitchen1 cup white corn flour (avail at Indian supply shops)3/4 cup white flour½ tsp salt1 ¼ - 1 ½ cup waterMix flours and salt together in a bowl then start adding the water until a firm, slightly wet dough is formed. Leave to rest for 15 minutes.To make the tortilla, pinch off small golf ball sized pieces, knead till correct consistency then flatten slightly by patting between palms. Put this disc between two plastic sheets (I find deconstructed shopping bags are best) and then, using a flat bottomed pot or bowl, flatten to a thin tortilla by applying as much pressure as you can! Carefully peel off the top sheet of plastic, turn the tortilla onto it and then peel back the other sheet. It is now ready to cook.To cook:Use a dry pan heated to medium-high and gently transfer the tortilla from your palm to the pan. Cook for 30 seconds, turn and cook for a further 1.5 minutes, then turn again. It should puff up slightly and have bits of charred bubbles on the surface (but not too much! Adjust heat to get this right). Keep warm in a folded tea-towel.
