Techniques
  • corn paste
  • water
Work water into the masa until it is as soft as possible without being sticky, like soft play dough.
Making corn tortillas
Take a walnut-sized piece and press it gently in a tortilla press lined with plastic top and bottom, turning it for an even press.
Lay the tortilla on the medium end of the griddle; after about 30 seconds it releases. Flip onto the medium-high end for about 30 seconds until browned underneath, then flip again on the hot side until it puffs.
  • black beans
  • roasted tomato, green chili salsa
  • avocado
Serve fresh with a spoon of black beans, a little roasted tomato and green chili salsa, and a piece of avocado.
