Just hot air.
I've been making my own tortillas for a decade and I can tell you there's nothing newly wrong with the corn flour. It's the same it's always been.
Yeah it's always best to have heirloom with minimal processing, but I'd rather have 100 homemade tortillas with basic nixtamalized corn flour for $3 not $30
This article is a bunch of wind.
I got a tortilla press for Xmas last year. It really is a different experience. And I'm just using plain grocery store masa.
This is a shitpost?
/u/silence7 this post made me think and reflect.
This is too good for Shitposting.
I can't even find corn tortillas at the store
Wait really?
Am I sitting on a pile of corn tortilla gold?
El Milagro is where it's at
They have a good point. I did research into cornbread for a project and it's suffered from the same issue as tortillas. Most cornmeal that you buy in the store nowadays tastes like sawdust and has to be enriched with a bunch of stuff to make it preserve longer. Originally southern-style cornbread had zero added sugar in it, but most recipes nowadays call for a tablespoon of sugar to balance out the flavor of the sawdust cornmeal so it ends up just tasting like nothing. You don't do that if you use good, heirloom corn, and it actually has flavor.
It ultimately comes down to the quality of the corn and the method that they use to process it and to maximize profits. Stone ground cornmeal yields a better product, but is less efficient.
Used to live near a tortillaria that made fresh blue corn tortillas. Had to get there early because they would sell out fast, but man they were good.
Never had blue corn tortillas. Are they very different from other corn tortillas?
Unless you're like a person who is astute at picking up very minute differences, you likely won't taste a difference.
All the downvotes don't really help. But I guess that's a contentious opinion. ha
Visually appealing?
Damn now I have to upgrade my tortilla game
I know I wanted some variety in the news as of lately – did not see this headline coming.
I've been ranting about this for years 🥲 Nixtamal tortillas are my favorite and very hard to find.
I prefer corn tortillas but often end up buying flour to keep at home because corn tortillas have to be warmed and flour doesn't
You ready for an insane trick? Store your corn tortillas in the fridge. When you're ready to use some (preferably a lot at once) grab the number of tortillas you want, plus two. Heat up a pan or griddle to medium/medium-high heat and carefully place the stack of tortillas on it, dry. Let that go until you start smelling the tortillas without standing over them, then flip the whole stack. Let this go until you smell the now-bottom tortilla starting to burn, then flip the stack one last time and let it go until the other end's tortilla starts to burn. Remove the two burnt tortillas and place the rest in a tortilla warmer until you're ready to enjoy your beautifully steamed but not damp corn tortillas.
Also, if you're not warming your flour tortillas, you're really missing out. If you have a gas stove, turn the flame on low and heat up the tortillas individually directly on top of the burner. Like-fresh every single time.
Great read, seems relevant given Mexico's own drive to bring back domestic tortillas.
