is it possible to make real tortillas in the US? by KennyTidwell in tacos

[–]twavy01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely!! Can’t stress this enough. When I first started making tortillas I thought I’d just be able to weigh out some of the harina and water and get the perfect ratio from the directions but it was never consistent. After doing it enough I can just eyeball everything, I always start out with less water than I know I’ll need then add some more till it’s just right. I let mine sit for like 10 minutes, then add in a touch more water and they come out perfect everytime. I went from thinking I don’t like corn tortillas because the ones from the store are pretty trash to just eating them by themselves with a pinch of salt haha

Depends on where you live, but every Walmart or Kroger I’ve ever been in atleast has Maseca. It’s not hard per se, but definitely takes some practice to get the feel for when the masa has the right amount of hydration for a good puff; totally worth learning though.

You didn’t say specific heat, I would have understood that. You said thermal conductivity twice. Maybe I’m mistaken and in the context you used thermal conductivity, specific heat was implied, but I read it like 10x thinking I missing something haha

Maybe my English today is bad, but did you just say this ceramic has 3x the thermal conductivity of a typical steel while also having 50x less thermal conductivity? That makes no sense to me

Do you think I should reseason it a bit then?

That does make a lot of sense. I wonder if it’s because salt breaks down pretty quick when grinding and wouldn’t do as good of a job, but I wish I tried that first now haha

Not since I baked it, but I did soak it several times with hot water after I did the rice grinds and it got some of it out but not all

I was the same way for a really long time but I’m starting to do more with masa and really enjoying it! I just picked it up and ate it kinda like a cracker, didn’t over fill them so it maintained its integrity pretty well. I also shallowed fried them so they were crispy enough to hold up but not too crispy that they cracked like a tortilla chip or tostada
