    • @MOMables
      @MOMables  2 роки тому +3

      So what you want is a tortilla recipe itself? Here is the recipe inside my 🌮 Tuesday Cookbook:
      2 cups (252 g) fine corn flour (masa harina)
      1/2 teaspoon sea salt
      1 1/2 cups (353 ml) hot water
      In a large bowl, mix salt and masa harina together.
      Pour hot water into the dough and mix with a wooden spoon or your hand to form a big ball.
      The dough should be firm and springy when touched, not dry or super sticky. If the mixture is
      too dry and it needs some more water, add it in small amounts until dough is the right
      consistency.
      Cover the bowl with a cloth or plastic dough and allow it to rest for about an hour.
      Create 12, golf-ball sized dough balls with your hands. Meanwhile, heat up a griddle or cast-iron
      pan over medium-high heat.
      With a tortilla press, between two pieces of parchment paper, place balls and press down to
      flatten. If using a rolling pin, place ball between two pieces of parchment paper and roll thin.
      Place flatten dough onto hot griddle for 30 seconds and flip, cook for another 30 seconds until
      it’s cooked through and the edges are slightly browned.
      Remove from griddle and place inside a kitchen cloth or napkin to keep warm. Repeat the
      process with remaining tortillas and serve.

    Hard taco shells are normally made from corn flour. This is just remixing a bread into another. And why would you do that?
    if you are in a shop why not buy the correct taco shell from the start?

    • @MOMables
      @MOMables  7 місяців тому

      Great point. I made this video because sometimes I want crunchy tacos and I have no hard taco shells at home but I have corn tortillas so I can make them quickly without going to the store. There are people who also purchase organic corn tortillas but they don't sell them crunchy so they can use this method too. Of course, they can be purchased. There's an option for everybody. :)

    Amazing. You make zero mention of the temperature of the oven. How the hell did nobody else point this out?

      All of this information is always in the description: Preheat oven to 375F. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until golden and crispy.
