How is making your own tortillas sustainable?
Making your own tortillas reduces your carbon footprint (manufacturing to plastic packaging to shipping) and it is a healthier option for those who are health conscious. It is made with simple natural ingredients and no preservatives.

What is masa flour? Masa flour is made of dried corn.

You need:
1 cups organic Masa Harina Yellow Corn Flour
1 cup organic Masa Harina White Corn Flour
½ tsp Sea Salt
½ tsp Cooking Oil
Lemon Juice From Half a Lemon
1⅓ to 2 cups Hot Water

Put together:

• Mix salt into both the masa harina corn flour. Gradually pour water into the dough until you get a firm but slightly soft dough. The dough should be firm and springy when touched, not dry or sticky.
  
• Let the dough rest for about an hour, covered with a lid or a damp towel. This will allow the dough to stay moist.
• After an hour or so, before you are about to make the tortilla, knead the dough for about 5 minutes.
• Preheat a griddle or pan to medium-high heat. Divide the dough into 2-inch balls. Roll the dough on a flat surface into 6-inch circles.
• Place the flattened dough on a hot griddle or flat surface and cook until you see mild brown spots on both sides. Each side of the tortilla should be cooked in about 1 minute.
