Hello everyone, my name is Elias.
00:01
I'm the head chef of Vellacanta,
00:02
and today I'm gonna show you how to make tortillas.
00:05
We're gonna start making the tortillas.
00:09
So to make the tortillas, we need to mix corn flour.
00:13
This kind of corn flour you can find in any store here.
00:17
Just gonna add a little of that,
00:18
and a little bit of warm water, just a tiny bit.
00:22
And we're gonna mix all this,
00:25
that is gonna turn out into a masa.
00:27
Masa in Mexico, we use it for everything.
00:29
We use masa to make tamales, tortillas for the tacos.
00:33
It's the primarily ingredient in Mexican food.
00:37
So we're just gonna mix all this.
00:39
Just mix it with your hands.
00:41
We're looking to get a kind of like a dry dough,
00:47
a dry masa, I would call it in Mexico.
00:50
Just mix it super well.
00:52
That's it, once you get a kind of like a dry masa
00:57
that it doesn't stick in your hand,
00:59
it will be ready to go.
01:01
So get a wet towel, just put it on top of your masa
01:05
while you turn on the pan for the tortillas
01:08
so the masa doesn't get dry and then they're gonna break.
01:11
Once the masa is ready, just start making small balls.
01:16
So you can press them after to make the tortillas.
01:19
Just make sure whenever you're rolling
01:21
to make the small balls, put kind of pressure
01:23
so the tortillas, they're nice and tight.
01:26
Just put it back straight in the same bowl
01:28
as you keep making them.
01:30
Just gonna use them right after now.
01:33
Just make small balls.
01:35
It depends how big you want your tortillas.
01:37
If you want them big, make quite a big balls.
01:39
If you want small, just make tiny balls.
01:42
I would recommend you about like 15 grams
01:45
for a piece of tortilla.
01:46
Remember, tortilla is just corn and water,
01:49
so they're gluten-free.
01:50
You're prepared for every occasion.
01:52
You can make tacos, you can make quesadillas,
01:55
you can make millions of things.
01:58
We're gonna start pressing the tortillas.
02:01
If you don't have a press, you can just get a rolling pan,
02:04
some paper, roll it, and then just cut it
02:06
with a cookie cutter.
02:08
Depends the size of the tortilla that you're looking for.
02:11
Just get plastic bag, like a sandwich bag.
02:15
Just cut it off, divide it in two.
02:16
Get one of your bowls.
02:20
Just put it right in the center, press a little bit.
02:24
(metal clanging)
02:26
Just press tiny bit, fold it back again.
02:29
Press again.
02:32
Next step, let's turn on the pan, medium-high heat.
02:50
And we're just gonna press the tortillas,
02:52
put them there, 30 seconds on one side,
02:55
about 45 seconds on the other,
02:56
and then just finish it for 10 seconds.
02:58
There's a saying in Mexico that if your tortilla pop,
03:01
you're ready to get married.
03:03
Make sure you have a towel,
03:06
where you can keep them warm at all the time.
03:09
So here you have your tortillas, ready to go.
03:13
You can make tacos, you can make quesadillas,
03:15
you can make everything, put everything you want on top.
03:18
The whole process to make the tortillas,
03:21
for about four people, it will take about 20 minutes.
03:24
Just enough for everyone to have two to three tacos.
03:28
I wouldn't freeze the tortillas,
03:29
I will just make them fresh all the time.
03:32
So if you freeze them, they will break.
