Tortillas

These tortillas are great to use for burritos or wraps. They use a combination of Masa corn flour and regular wheat flour, which makes them easier to prepare than ones made from just masa, but they have a better flavour than plain flour ones. If you don't have any masa then just leave it out and use 2 cups plain flour instead, or for a full flavour use 2 cups of masa and no wheat flour, though this may need more water and is a bit more difficult to work with (but tastes better if making into corn chips or tacos). As with the other recipes on here, this one isn't culturally authentic, but is tasty and simple to prepare. Masa harina is a flour made from corn that's been dried and specially treated with limestone (a process called nixtamalisation, which makes the vitamins and minerals in the corn more bio-available), and is the traditional corn flour used in Mexican cooking. I only use the Tio Pablo brand, so can't comment on any others...
