Up the ante on those quick-to-fix dinners by learning how to make corn tortillas.<\/p>\n<p>Think you can\u2019t make homemade corn tortillas on a weeknight? Think again! This three-ingredient corn tortilla recipe proves that good food doesn\u2019t have to be complicated.<\/p>\n<h2>Corn Tortilla Ingredients<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Masa harina:<\/strong> To make homemade corn tortillas, you\u2019ll need a kind of flour called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-is-masa-harina\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-is-masa-harina\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">masa harina<\/a>. It\u2019s a flour made from dried corn (also known as masa). Most supermarkets and grocery stores carry masa harina, but if you can\u2019t find it there, stop by your local Mexican market.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Salt:<\/strong> A little bit of salt brings out the corn\u2019s natural flavors.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hot water:<\/strong> Hot water rehydrates the masa harina.

Just wrap your cooked tortillas (that have cooled to room temperature) in storage wrap and foil, transfer them to a resealable zipper-lock bag and freeze them for up to four months.

You can use a tortilla warmer (on our list of handy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/mexican-cooking-tools\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/mexican-cooking-tools\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Mexican cooking tools<\/a>), or wrap them in foil or a clean towel until the rest of your meal is ready to go.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve made your corn tortillas ahead of time, take them out of the refrigerator and put them, one at a time, on a hot cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once each tortilla is a little toasty and has brown spots forming, flip it over and toast the other side.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t have time to heat them one by one, you can wrap a few corn tortillas in aluminum foil and pop them in the oven until they\u2019re warm. Keep them wrapped in the foil after you take them out so they\u2019ll stay warm until dinner is on the table.<\/p>\n<h2>Corn Tortilla Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1757452\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/how-to-make-corn-tortillas-TOHcom22_269085_DR_03_18_9b-MLcrop.jpg\" alt=\"Corn tortillas and tacos laid out on a marble board\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Dan Roberts for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Do I need a tortilla press to make corn tortillas?<\/h3>\n<p>Using a tortilla press makes easy work of flattening the dough balls when you\u2019re making a homemade corn tortillas recipe. Not sure if you want to buy a kitchen gadget just for tortillas? Understandable, but on the plus side they range in price from less than $10 to $30. If you\u2019re skipping the press, you can flatten the dough using a heavy flat-bottomed pan.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you make white, yellow and blue corn tortillas?<\/h3>\n<p>Making colored corn tortillas is as easy as buying different kinds of masa. To make white corn tortillas, pick up white corn masa; to make yellow corn tortillas, look for yellow corn masa; and to make blue corn tortillas, go for the blue corn masa.<\/p>\n<p>Experiment with all kinds of masa to find your favorite for tacos, enchiladas, taquitos and more. Each kind of masa has a slightly different flavor, and you\u2019ll quickly learn which kind you prefer for your homemade corn tortillas.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you make corn tortillas without masa harina?<\/h3>\n<p>Unfortunately, no\u2014you really need masa harina to make corn tortillas. It\u2019s not interchangeable with cornmeal or corn flour because masa harina is soaked, rinsed, dried and then ground. Cornmeal and corn flour don\u2019t go through that whole process. Luckily, you can typically find at least one kind of masa harina at most grocery stores.<\/p>\n<h3>When should you use corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas?<\/h3>\n<p>Have you ever seen a burrito or quesadilla made with a corn tortilla? On the flip side, have you ever made taquitos or tostadas with flour tortillas? Probably not!<\/p>\n<p>Since they\u2019re thicker and sturdier, flour tortillas are necessary for recipes that need a little more support. They have the strength to hold all the fixings you love in a burrito (hello, extra guac) and the ability to stabilize whatever you like in your quesadillas as you pick up each cheesy triangle.<\/p>\n<p>Corn tortillas are perfect for recipes that need a more pliable tortilla. For example, taquitos and enchiladas require a tortilla that\u2019s easily wrapped around the fillings. Corn tortillas also crisp up a lot more nicely than flour tortillas, which is why they\u2019re better for making tortilla chips and tostadas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&#8217;s nothing quite like fresh, homemade corn tortillas.
