When he retired he would make a small batch every morning, it gave him something to do and he had fresh corn tortillas without all the preservatives.

There are different kinds of tortillas, white ones yellow ones even blue.. The most popular kind where i'm from, which is the northern part of the country, is the white tortilla, which i's made out of Maseca, the diference between white and yellow tortillas is that the white ones are made from corn 'flour', which was dried out, the yellow ones are made straight out of Maíz nixtamalizado (Maíz = corn), that hasn't been dried out yet, so it's way yellower, the main difference is that yellow tortillas are much less flexible and have a stronger corn smell and taste. White tortillas are better imo, but i'm sure mexicans from the southern part would disagree

Great tip!! Thank you !😊

what is crucially different between this and corn flour is that it's nixtamalized. The addition of lye or other alkaline solution changes the corn, reduces its mycotoxicity and most important, breaks down the hemicellulose in the corn hull walls. That makes it able to form a dough with just water. It's not that it's cooked, per se. Love the channel! Keep up the good work.

Yo Chef! I work in an authentic mexican street taco restaurant, and we make our tortillas by hand in house. i think one of the key things that we do that make the tortillas better is add a little veggie oil into the masa itself before throwing them on the flat top, while it is not necessary it does make them taste better(or worse) it does shorten the time needed for them to become soft and floppy. they also wont puff up but it only needs like 1 minute a side before youre done. also to steam them afterward you could wrap them in plastic wrap and they steam very well.

Thank you Chef John for exorcising one of my worst food fails. When I was still in college I took on masa harina and it was a disaster. I carried that bag from apartment to apartment like some kind of badge of shame until I threw it out. Today I took another shot, rewatching your video and taking notes. At first I realized that my dough was too wet because it was sticking to the plastic sheets in the tortilla press. So I kept adding more masa and working the dough and I got it to where it peeled but was not cracked at the edge. My cast iron skillet was not hot enough on the first two and so no puffing. But on my third tortilla it puffed up like a beanbag! I still think I was running a bit cooler than you as I didn't get a lot of browning, but I was still quite happy with the results. For this effort I had acquired a press, tortilla warmer and the flat-style kitchen towels (I had fluffy). As a geek and engineer, I keep a pyrometer in the kitchen and when my tortilllas were going well, my cast iron was around 485F. Anyone who can't watch your videos because of your vocal presentation is an idiot! Chef John is a marvellous instructor.

I made these a while ago. It was the first time I used a cookbook in years. It made a very effective substitute for a tortilla press!!! 😂😉

Chef John, I once did resesrch about ancient recipes of the Aztecs, Incas and Mayans. My library had cookbooks from those ancient cultures. I can't remember which one of those three, but avocados got their name from two words in one of their cultures: one word meant "testicle," and the other meant "tree." It makes sense, when you look at them. A piece of trivia I thought you'd enjoy, ;)

Wife here! Thank you so much. I live in a place without corn tortillas and really miss them and have tried to make them myself from other people's web site instructions. Now I understand what I've been needing to do. Not the first time you've made a recipe fantastic for me.

I was only looking for a corn tortilla recipe yesterday, and as usual I tried to find a food wishes video first (because they are the best). 12 hours later, and as if by magic; the video materialises. Thanks!

Very detailed. I love the non-tortilla press options. Thanks so much!

America's Test Kitchen reviewed tortilla warmers, testing how long they kept them warm. They ended up saying the thick quilted cloth pouch ones worked best at retaining heat and not sweating, not the stoneware or styrofoam ones. The cloth ones also have different fabric patterns so you can pick a nice one you like. They worked better than aluminum foil, which isn't a green choice anyway. Personally, I just use clean terry hand towels.

Greetings from Spain! It's the first time I've made corn tortillas and with your recipe they turned out perfect! We enjoyed them very, very much and will do them again.

Thank you chef! I purchased a bag of Masa and can't wait to try these! Thank you for the slow-mo technique also!

I used P.A.N corn flour, In the past I used to think that I couldn't be used because I got the stiff hard tortillas, so I gave it a try with the napking steamer method, and DAMN it works! Love the results!

Took a cooking class in Oaxaca, Mexico. OK and stress no cracks in your balls. Tortilla cooks for 15 to 20 seconds, flip, watch for the puff...this is where is happens, flip for another several seconds and put in the cloth lined basket. If you don't have a lot of puff, you don't have a really cooked tortilla.

Thank you so much for your video, kind regards from The Hague, The Netherlands!

Thank you. Resting dough, press and puff & stack and steam was missing from whatever other recipe I've followed. Saved the day, chef John.

This was great. Best advice is how to lay them in the pan, what the dough should feel like and how to let them rest before and after. I use turmeric in mine. It does not change the flavor, but they look like corn.

See how stiff tortillas are at the end of cooking they have a little crusty areas is cause you need more water in your masa the key is to get your masa as moist as you can with out it sticking to your hands .

This is a great treat. To make it even better, you have to do your own nixtramalization with wood ash ( not lime) . It is definitely worth the effort. Wood ash contains minerals from deep underground that adds to the nutrition and flavor of corn that because of super high yield farming is depleted of these elements. The native Americas knew this, but were unable to influence early pilgrims of this practice.
