Home Made Tortillas!

Just FYI - It takes about 10 minutes to make fantastic home made Tortillas!  All you need is a $18.00 tortilla press, available at Gourmet Galley...

These little guys are mini tortillas that I made for lunch!  Awesome stuff guys!

Recipe for 10 tortillas:

1 c masa flour, I like course ground corn flour, but all I could get on the island was the fine flour
2/3 c water
1 three pinch sea salt

Put the flour in a bowl, make a well in it and add the water, stirring with your fingers, until you have dough that resembles play dough.  This takes about 1 minute.

Start tearing off pieces of dough about the size of a golf ball, maybe a bit smaller...

Place two pieces of grease prof paper onto the tortilla press.  Put the dough in between the paper and close the press in one quick movement.

Place a cast iron skillet over medium heat.  Brush tortillas with a little olive oil if you like.  Cook for about 1 - 2 minutes per side.

Done!

Bon Appetit!  Chef Hobbes
