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!
