    Avid corn tortilla maker here!
    Some tips:
    -Be sure your water isnt too too hot, you want it around the same temp as proofing yeast or you can run the risk of having crunchy tortillas.
    -I strongly recommend using your hands when mixing the ingredients, you need to touch the dough to know when there's too much water. It should be moist enough to be pliable but dry enough to not stick to your hands. Once it comes together you don't need to knead it or let it rest, it's fine to make right away.
    -I like to roll all the dough balls at once and keep them covered in a bowl so they stay moist. As soon as they're flattened you want to cook them right away.
    -Cooking. The trick is to put them on the pan and not touch them for 20-30 seconds, if you can move it around the pan with your fingers after that then it's time to flip. It wont be completely cooked, but its ok. Let it cook on the other side for the same amount of time and again move it around with your fingers. After this, flip it one more time, this is when you want the tortilla to inflate. If it isnt puffing up you can press the center a bit with a spatula and it will help it inflate. After that feel free to cook it as long as you want. Once you get the inflation you're good to go.
    -Cooked tortillas: if you dont have a tortilla basket you can just fold a kitchen towel in half on a plate, stack them, and keep them covered. You want them to stay together to keep them from drying out.
    I hope this helps!
    I like to measure my recipe in grams & mls cause I cant quite get it right measured with US metrics lol, but I also go by feel. This gives me a good 2-3ish dozen tortillas for my hubby and I.
    400 g corn flour
    600 ml lukewarm water
    1 tsp salt
    P.S. You can always infuse the water with your powdered greens or other powdered veggies to make colorful tortillas with a healthy boost.

    about the orange peel - the bitterness is in the pith (the white part) next time if you did this again you could zest the peal and don't use the pith and you would not get the bitterness

  • @southrnlvingsc
    @southrnlvingsc Před 2 lety +2

    I Love your channel. You make things I think of as exhausting and hard look much easier and absolutely doable. I'm semi-disabled and amazed by how much energy you have and how much you can get accomplished in a few hours. I love when you say oh this recipe is so "easy" and then you proceed to do a bunch of steps, use multiple utensils and dishes or appliances and then clean up. To me that is Hard LOL. But after seeing you do it so many times, I've been inspired to get over my fear of exertion and tackle cooking projects that I would normally shy away from just because of the time and energy commitment. You inspire me to not be so wrapped up in my condition and to push myself harder not only to cook more but to just be more productive! Keep your wonderful videos coming.

  • @barbaramoss6413

    I accidently participated. I shopped at a grocery store yesterday. My last trip was before New Years for company and the holiday. My friend stayed almost two weeks and she helped me consolidate my pantry items while she was here. I ate out of my leftover company/holiday groceries, my freezer and my pantry. I finally shopped yesterday because I was out of eggs, milk and butter. I made my grocery list skewed toward companion items for things already in my pantry, i.e. chicken and gravy mix packets to go with boxes of stuffing. It was interesting and now I will concentrate on buying companion things to use up pantry items that are aging. Thanks for your example.

    Becky, you just brought fond memories back to me, of my grandma making fresh corn tortillas for us. We couldn’t wait for the first few tortillas to be hot off the griddle. We would slather butter across the top, actually sometimes on both sides it was so delicious. Sometimes my grandma would make thicker tortillas that were about 3 inches wide she called them Gorditas, ( means Chubby) we also slather them with butter! Aww, I miss my grandma. She would’ve loved you and all your energy and zest for cooking and growing things. She too had a small garden & Chickens!

    My no shop and "deep" pantry challenge starts now. Stepped outside and bolted right back in to put on my respirator. YIKES!! Almonds went commando overnight. I am so intolerant to the chemicals released during the beautiful bloom. Mask on, I took care of essentials and popped back in. Since almond boom happens every year (yes please; my area is the world's biggest grower of them), I just plan accordingly to stay home even more than usual. I've been making a concerted effort to use up things that I don't use as often all along, but now I start in earnest. Thanks for the inspiration to be a better steward.
    I think I'll copy this post onto Jessica's (Three Rivers) channel as well. You two are who I've been following the most for this.

  • @oliviaayala1219
    @oliviaayala1219 Před 2 lety +5

    Becky, Instead of the parchment paper, you will find that a big zip lock freezer bagcut open on the sides and the zip side cut off, will work so much better and last way longer than the parchment paper. I make tortillas all the time, both flour and corn, I learned to make corn tortillas when I lived in Mexico. I use my used freezer bads for this purpose. Reuse it until it no longer works. The flavor of a homemade tortilla is different than the store bought. When your tortillas are thick they are called "Gorditas" (translates to "fatties" but they are good.

    Becky, you might want to rethink your no shopping during pantry challenge. My understanding is that the Russian situation is causing gas to soar and it's only begun. That means all goods will go up in price. Also, due to global export treaties you can expect shortages and mega price increases in Wheat products (flour) and cooking oil, among other things. NOW is a good time to STOCK UP!

      @@carmadariacompaniona4181 of course. I use 2 bags (I believe 12ounces each) of riced frozen cauliflower. And then 1 8oz can of tomato sauce (You can use el pato if you want it spicy.) About 1 to 1 1/2 tsps of the chicken bouillon powder and 1/2 tsp of cumin. Can always add more if you wish! It will look really gross for about 7mins or so but it WILL dry up and leave the cauli rice fluffy, not mushy. I like to chop about 1/2 an onion and brown that up with a clove of garlic before adding the frozen cauliflower too.

    When your bread goes a bit stale, just wrap it in a damp paper towel or cloth towel and microwave it for 30 to 45 seconds. The towel will steam and the bread will soften right up, then you can butter it and brown it in a pan before you add your sausages!

    Becky I watched a Chef once who said to first crack your egg on the top because it’s usually has an air pocket. Then roll it like you did several times. The more cracks on the shell the better. Then when you go to peel you have a better chance to get under the membrane & peel larger pieces off. He also said exactly what you said. It’s better to use your older eggs to hard boil. Love that cool cast iron pan. ♥️. Food all looks so yummy.

    Hi Becky when I Make tortillas I use 3 cups Masa and 1 cup flour the flour helps from cracking and being more soft and on the 3 flip you press the tortilla to create the tortilla steam and bubble up that helps with fully cooked inside and the thicker u make them,AND after it puffs you could open it and stuff it it's called a gordita and the filling is so versatile

    I use that cauliflower to make a warm salad with cooked or steamed cauliflower, salt, pepper, mayo, a splash of red wine vinegar then top with fresh green onions

    Becky, I am so happy for you with everything you did in this video. Especially how great your first ever corn tortillas! I almost feel you need some kind of award to mark that milestone!
    Thanks as always for sharing and for being you!

    That is hilarious 😂 I thought I was the only one that rubs the cooked chicken on the cooked sauce to rub off and make it easier to clean the pan. Thanks for making these fabulous videos, so entertaining ❤️

    Everything looks delicious! Definitely want to make that pork, the tortillas, the carrot salad, and those meatballs! The squash looked delicious as well! I love cauliflower rice, but will have to season it like yours. I have never made eggs in my Instant pot, definitely going to try that! That’s great that you can sell some of your eggs! Hope you had a great time in Utah! Love all your videos, as it gives me great ideas for so many meals! I love how you just try new things and are never afraid and just dive right in! It has helped me be more creative in my cooking and trying new things!

    For the tortillas maybe you could put a pan of hot water in bottom rack of oven to help them steam.

She is passed away after christmas but I am still looking forward to it and I'll tell her all about it anyways... and I am oh so curious how you ran over your food processor, It awful I know but it made me giggle sounds like something I would do somehow lol.

    I recently “found” your channel and absolutely love it! I lived/worked in Honduras for 6 years and Corn Tortillas were always my favorite dating back to 1973, but having been around incredible hand made (often hand patted) corn tortillas was part of daily life.
    I’m late to the game with this video but thought I’d chime in.
    First things first - once the tortilla is cooked - it’s done in a very hot comal (flat bottomed pan with no sides) put it in between a kitchen towel or a tortilla warmer. It actually finished cooking at that point. It just needs to keep steaming. Putting it in a hot oven or even just a warm oven dries it out.
    The next thing is, if you are going to try and make your own Masa, which I think is great I’ve done it, but not 100% successfully. There are a couple of things you need to know. 1.) The corn used is deer corn or field corn. Masa is not made with sweet corn that is like table corn. Deer corn has more starch which is what you need.
    And the next thing which is very important is that
    thousands of years ago somehow I consider it by magic, they discovered that in order for people to stop dying, because the major part of their food source was corn, but people were dying, and it was because they had a major lack of nutrition. So someone miraculously figured out that they needed to remove hull of the kernel of corn. And the way that’s done is a process called Nixtamalization.
    It’s simple and I just find it fascinating and I love to do it. This is how it’s done and I think you’ll probably enjoy it because you love being in the kitchen also. The corn is soaked with food grade line. The Spanish term for his Cal. It’s actually calcium hydroxide. like I said I don’t know how the Mayans figured it out thousands of years ago but some genius figured it out, thankfully.
    All you do is put the corn in a pot with water you’ve brought to the boil. Let it sit there overnight with the Cal in it. You can buy Cal on Amazon or at a Hispanic market. What you’ll notice is the corn plumps up. It changes color and becomes this beautiful yellow. It’s hard to describe but it is yellow with flecks of brown. And the next day when it’s all nice and cool and finished the process, you put your hands in there and you rub them together, and the hulls of the kernels fall off. Let those drop to the bottom and what you have is corn that’s ready to be ground and and made into masa.
    Now, using a grinder from a stand mixer is the way I did it. It’s not great. You really need something called Matate. It’s made of volcanic rock or basalt or andesite. It’s not easy to find in the US. You might be able to find it in a Hispanic store. I just don’t have any around me where I live is very rural. But it’s not easy to use. It’s not easy to get the process down and I went to a Hacienda for three days in Honduras one weekend and we learned to nixtamalize and grind the corn and then make the tortillas on a Fogón which was ice 100 years old. It was magical. I went back there multiple times and tried to do it and I just couldn’t make it work so I also use Maseca.
    And finally a tortilla press is the way to go. In Honduras, the experienced people - it was always women - patting the masa in their hands. I tried it so many times, and they told me “Fran, you just don’t have Tortilla hands.” I think they were just being nice because I would think anybody can make it work with enough practice. But I didn’t have to worry about making them myself because we had a market call Guamilito and there were rows of women behind primitive gas flat tops making tortillas with Maseca logo signs hanging all over. They were just a flat piece of metal with gas hobs underneath and all day they would stand there in the oppressive heat making tortillas. I would go there almost every Saturday or Sunday and buy 24 tortillas for a couple of dollars. It was amazing and I miss it so.
    Anyway, I’m sorry for the long explanation, but thank you for all the effort you put into your videos they’re really phenomenal and informative and fun and I’m enjoying watching them all weekend. 👍

    I love love your channel. I cannot grow anything. Living in Colorado has challenges but on top of that I just kill everything. But you're literally living my dream. I've always wanted to move to Oregon too! So I'm living vicariously thru you! My dad passed in December 2020. It's been a brutal blow to our family. But he used to say " oh just living the dream"… Whenever we would ask him what he was up to. I also lost my best friend to sepsis in 2020, as well as 2 aunts and a cousin. It's been brutal but your videos really bring joy to my day. We are on disability so I don't have money to send you gifts or anything but I just wanted you to know that you inspire me to get up and cook and do things and you show me a lot of tricks and I just really wanted to show my appreciation . So Thank You so much for sharing your life.
    P.S. I started saving up for my very own freezer dryer. My favorite snacks are all freeze dried vegetables and fruits. They're so expensive but if I can get them and freeze dry them when they're in season I think it would justify the cost no? It might take me five years to save up enough money for it but I will have one someday... fingers crossed
