How To make Blue Corn Tortillas
1 1/2 c Blue corn meal
1 1/2 c Boiling water
3/4 c All purpose flour; (3/4 to
-1) Recipe by: BAKERS' DOZEN (ALFORD AND DUGUID)SHOW You will need a medium-sized bowl, a griddle or heavy skillet at least 8 inches in diameter, and a rolling pin. Place corn meal in a bowl and pour boiling water over. Stir to mix well. Let sit for fifteen minutes. Mix in one-half cup of all purpose flour. Turn this mixture out onto a bread board spread with 1/4 cup of flour. Knead for 2 to 3 minutes, incorporating the 1/4 cup of flour into the dough (and if necessary, use a little more). The dough will be soft but not at all strong. Return the dough to the bowl and cover. Let rest for 30 minutes. Divide the dough into eight pieces. Between well-floured palms, make flat round patties out of each of the eight and set aside. Heat your griddle over medium high heat, making sure that it is hot before you cook the first tortilla. On a well-floured surface (as the dough is quite sticky), carefully roll out a tortilla until it is approximately 7 to 8 inches in diameter. (We find it easiest to first pat out the dough with our fingers or between our palms, and then to roll out the tortilla at the very last just to make it uniform in thickness). Cook the tortilla as you would a wheat tortilla, approximately one minute on each side. The tortillas will be flecked with brown on both sides. When cooked, remove and wrap in a kitchen towel. Stack one on top of another. -----

Tortilla Press (mine is 8 inches in diameter)
Bob’s Red Mill Masa Harina
The tortilla press is generally cheaper to buy online, but masa harina is cheaper to buy in your local store.
For about 16 tortillas:
200g masa harina
2.8g salt (1 tsp Diamond Crystal Kosher or 1/2 tsp Table salt)
300g water for Maseca and White Masienda / 275g water for Bob’s Red Mill
In a medium bowl, mix masa harina and salt with a big spoon or spatula. Heat the water to 140F (60C) and add to the bowl. Mix with a spoon until all the water is absorbed. Knead by hand for 2 minutes and check the texture. When you press a clean, dry finger into the dough, the finger should come away with only a faint residue. Add more water or masa harina as necessary.
Rest the dough for 30 minutes covered with a damp, and thoroughly wrung out paper towel. Resting longer is fine as long as you use it the same day and keep the paper towel damp at all times. Divide into 28 gram portions and roll into balls. Portioning into balls and resting can be done in any order.
Set a small teflon pan on medium-low heat and another pan on medium-high heat (this pan can be made out of any material, but ideally not teflon. Cast iron or carbon steel are the best.) Prepare a small bowl or pot with a lid and two pieces of paper towels to steam the tortillas after cooking. Cut 2 rectangular pieces of plastic from a gallon zip lock bag to fit your press. Work with 1 ball of dough at a time.
1) press the ball of dough to the thickness of a quarter
2) cook for 20 seconds on each side in the low heat pan (no color should develop)
3) flip the tortilla into the high heat pan for 30-60 seconds on each side or just until it puffs and starts to color
4) put it in a pot between towels and cover with a lid leaving a bit of a crack
Let the tortillas rest in the covered pot for 5 minutes. Remove the lid, but keep them covered with paper towels. Crisp up in some fat (ideally lard) before serving. Use the same day and if storing for many hours, wrap them up after they cool completely.

Make Tortillas Like a Mexican Grandma (The Easy Way)
Even a so-so corn tortilla made at home is better than the best one at your local grocery store (unless, of course, you live in Texas and have HEB!). But this video series is for the taco-eaters who won't settle for anything less than a world-class tortilla. Using hot water instead of lukewarm drastically changes the masa's texture. Finding clues for proper hydration separates the amateurs from the pros. An innate sense of how hard to press will bring everything together into a corn tortilla so perfectly pliable and resilient that you couldn't crumple it, even if you tried.
