Tortillas de Maíz Caseras

Tortillas de Maíz Caseras are homemade corn tortillas that offer a fresh and authentic taste of Mexico. Grilled to perfection, they are perfect for a vegetarian BBQ, serving as a delightful base for various toppings.

Ingredients

• Corn flour (masa harina) - 200 grams
• Water - 150 milliliters
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Vegetables for grilling (bell peppers, zucchini, and red onions) - 300 grams

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the masa harina and salt, then gradually add water while mixing until the dough is smooth and pliable.
2. Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
3. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
4. Flatten each dough ball using a tortilla press or a rolling pin between two sheets of plastic wrap until they are about 2-3 mm thick.
5. Cook each tortilla on the hot skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until lightly browned and cooked through. Keep them warm in a cloth.
6. While the tortillas are cooking, slice the vegetables and toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
7. Grill the vegetables on the same skillet or on a barbecue until tender and slightly charred.
8. Serve the warm tortillas topped with the grilled vegetables.
