    I've made corn tortillas often, but they have never been pliable which has been frustrating. I followed the recipe and technique and paid close attention to look and feel per the video. I am over the moon - they are wonderfully bendy!!!! I have been a bread baker for over 40 years and sourdough the last 5 and I KNOW that mixing and resting is important, but I never thought to pay attention like that with tortillas. Now that I've made them successfully, I think my mistakes were: dough to dry, dough not mixed well enough, too much flipping on a comal that was not hot enough. Using your timing and temp, mine puffed just like yours. So happy - thank you Rachel!!

I grew up with my Mom making them, but don’t remember her technique , just that they were great! I lost her about 10 yrs ago, so I didn’t have her input when I attempted them. ☹️ After watching your wonderful and explicit video I saw all the things I’ve been doing wrong.

    I am so glad to have found this video. I grew up with a wonderful Hispanic cook that cooked for our family. One of my favorite treats was when Carmen made corn tortillas & sliced them open with butter & salt. Sometimes she would dice up a leftover pork chop with some green salsa. I couldn't wait to get home from school to see what Carmen had waiting for me. She was the best cook & I am so glad to have had her in my life.

    Just like my mamita's😢 and she would make gorditas! Made of corn like the tortillas she would make with ?plancha? It was round with a hinged, open cover, with a handle that she would press down to flatten making corn tortillas! I also
    remember a round plastic from a bag that was with a dozen of store-bought corn tortillas. She used it to cover the dough, while she pressed down to make the tortilla. So, it wouldn't stick to the metal, peeling it off each time. She wouldn't make all this alone! She would have all my 7 aunts helping her! She would also make, 'bunwelos'? During the holidays. Those were really good!! Deep fried fresh flour tortilla dough, sprinkle sugar & cinnamon. She made everything good! She was born in Durango (pascuales) Her name was Manuela Melero, born on Christmas day!!! When I watch you, you remind me of those golden memories of my childhood. I am 64 now. So, thank you!! Happy cooking!! 😊

    Oh Rachel! My husband surprised me with a gift of a tortilla press for our anniversary yesterday and I was so anxious to use it that I had to try it out last night. I used Masteca in the gold package like you prefer & followed your directions to the letter. I have never even attempted to make any kind of tortillas in my life & these turned out PERFECT! They were all the same size and soft and pliable and so tasty that we ate about 10 between the two of us! I can’t thank you enough for being such a wonderful teacher and such an inspiration to me to have the desire to make new food! I’m having such a great time learning & experimenting!

    Rachel, I can’t wait to try this recipe! My mama taught me how to make puffy tacos with masa way back when I was just a young girl, the best puffy tacos ever. She was raised in south San Antonio in the 1940s-50s & Mexican food was her absolute favorite both to eat & make. Your video brought back so many childhood memories. She always let me press the dough for her… I inherited her tortilla press when she passed away in 2012, & I’ve tried making corn tortillas in the last few years, as I have to eat gluten free now, but they never turned out. Thank you for the in-depth explanation - now I realize I need more water & to let it rest. I can’t wait to try these with my carne guisada recipe, & with her cheese enchiladas. She collected recipes from her friends & neighbors from all around the state (I’m a native Texan, too!) & taught us kids how to make them, too. Such a blessing!
    How long do these keep for? And what’s the best way to store them? I’m sure fresh is best but I’m disabled & have to cook when my body is cooperating & reheat the leftovers throughout the week.
    PS I can’t wait to try your pork chop recipe, the one you linked to in your carne guisada video. I think my hubby will love it, too!

I thanked her for it, but I thought 🤔 What am I going to do with this? Now I know. Thank you, Rachael 😊

    Hi Rachel. I came across your channel about 3 weeks ago. I'm so happy I did as a gringa who was raised in South Texas but have been living in Florida for 31 years. I miss everything about Texas and will never get it out of my system. I am very partial to Mexican food made in Texas and can't find anything that compares to it here. I just wanted to tell you I made these Tortillas De Maiz and because of your excellent teaching skills I succeeded with the first batch of dough. I just made a bigger batch today with my comal but that's where my problem was. I thought I cleaned and re-seasoned correctly but I had to play around with the heat because some of my tortillas burned. I would love to know how you take care of your comal. Thanks again for this tutorial. I feel like I'm home again watching and learning from you. I can't wait to try your other recipes. Take care and God Bless you and your family.

      I like partial burned tortillas it gives food a different awesome taste. Just scrape the burned and keep using it, after a while you’ll get the hang of the temperature but I always put it on high since I don’t want to wait. The flipping is the key not the temperature

    My first taste of corn tortillas was over a year ago when I bought some from the grocery store to do chicken fajitas. The packaging made them look authentic, but they were nothing of the sort; they were rubbery and had some offputting, bitter, chemical taste. Needless to say, I threw the whole bag into the garbage.
    Recently, I began trying to make them at home; they tasted great, but they didn't puff up and were dry and tough, as well as broke when folded.
    I watched your video months ago, and I watched it again yesterday. Well, I must say that I just got through making a batch tonight, and these are the best ever!
    I paid attention to the measurements and "playdough" texture/consistency, and I let them rest in a bowl covered with plastic wrap for about two hours. I followed also your cooking time and temperature recommendations.
    I don't have a press, yet; I forgot to look for one in the grocery store when I shopped yesterday. I used a heavy cast-iron pan to do the pressing. I measured with a scale 8 balls (45 grams each), and the size was perfect.
    Now, I know how to get real corn tortillas at home. Thanks so much for your kindness, showing us how to make our own. Happy New Year!

    Thank you! I've watched a lot of videos on tortilla making but yours helped me understand the perfect hydration and texture for the dough. Yesterday I made a big batch based on a different video that told you how much water to add. I had about 150gm of masa left over before I open a new bag so after watching your video I used that to make three 😁. Puff was perfect. My puff yesterday was hit and miss. My dough wasn't hydrated enough. This wasn't even my first time but you helped me understand the perfect hydration AND a lot of videos say your pan should be medium low and they look like they're using a non-stick pan. I fired my cast iron up today. 👍 BIG THANK YOU. I made three just now. Perfect!

    I bought a tortilla press last year & haven't used it because I was afraid of failure & flop I'd make of it. Thanks so much for taking time to make these valuable teaching videos 🙏

    Great video! You are a great teacher. I have been making my own corn tortillas for a few years now, the package tortillas have a weird taste. I also cook mine on a cast iron skillet. I know the skillet is hot enough when I sprinkle a few drops of water and the water "jumps" and quickly evaporates. I also knead the "taistal" once again individually before placing it on the plastic. The only thing different is I use a thinner plastic for the tortilla press. Completely agree, after making them a few times, you can make them in your sleep. My mom can flip the tortillas without using the spatula, I can flip it using my hand only the second time, not the first time. She started making tortillas when she was 9 years old, she even cooked the nixtamal and ground the maize herself in the farm, so I am proud to say that even though I have never cooked nixtamal, I can at least make them from masca!

I have gained 3 pounds eating your recipes! Yeah!!! Thank you! You make the food look so good and it does taste so dam good!

    Thx again Rachel, one thing I learned fr your show, cooking is a process, not mixing all ingredients at once, each ingredient has to incorporate with the other to 'release' their own flavor. You are a great teacher...maybe in the near future a cookbook would b awesome. My biracial g/daughter loves TexMex food. 💕
