- 2 cups of masa harina (corn flour for tortillas)
- 1 ½ cups of warm water (adjust as needed)
- A pinch of salt
**Instructions:**
Prepare the dough:
- In a large bowl, mix the masa harina with a pinch of salt.
- Gradually add the warm water while kneading with your hands. The dough should be soft, moist, but not sticky. If it's too dry, add a bit more water; if it's sticky, add a bit more masa harina.
**Shape the dough balls:**
- Divide the dough into small balls about the size of a walnut (approximately 30-40 g each).
**Flatten the tortillas:**
- Place a dough ball between two sheets of plastic (you can use a cut plastic bag).
- Use a tortilla press to flatten it, or press it carefully with a flat plate. If you don’t have a press, you can also shape it into a circle with your hands.
**Cook the tortillas:**
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
- Place the tortilla on the hot griddle and cook for 30-40 seconds. Flip it over and cook the other side for 1 minute. Flip it one last time and cook for an additional 30 seconds. The tortilla should puff up slightly.
**Keep them warm:**
Place the tortillas in a tortilla warmer or wrap them in a clean towel to keep them warm and soft.
Make yellow, blue and white tortillas

Masa flour, or masa harina, is a staple in Mexican cuisine, made from finely ground corn that has been treated through a traditional process called nixtamalization. This ancient technique enhances the flavor and nutritional value of the corn, giving masa its distinctive taste and texture.
From tortillas to tamales, sopes, and gorditas, masa flour is the heart of many iconic Mexican dishes. Its versatility and authentic flavor bring the essence of Mexico to your table. Whether you're crafting homemade tortillas or exploring new recipes, masa harina is your gateway to a true Mexican culinary experience.
**The history of corn in Mexico is fascinating** and deeply tied to the country’s cultural, social, and economic identity. Here's a summary:
**Origin of Corn**
Corn (Zea mays) originated in Mesoamerica about **9,000 years ago.**
It is believed to have been domesticated from a wild plant called **teosinte**, which grew in the region now encompassing southern Mexico and Central America.
Corn is the result of a long process of selection and cultivation carried out by indigenous peoples, who transformed this plant into one of the most important crops in the world.
**Corn in Mesoamerican Cultures**
**Corn was not just a food;** it also held sacred significance. Civilizations like the Maya, Mexica (Aztecs), and Olmecs considered corn a gift from the gods.
In Mayan mythology, the Popol Vuh narrates that the first men were created from corn dough. For this reason, the Maya referred to themselves as **“the people of corn.”**
The Mexica honored Centeotl, the god of corn, and Chicomecóatl, the goddess of agriculture, with ceremonies to ensure abundant harvests.
Corn formed the foundation of the Mesoamerican diet, used to prepare tortillas, tamales, atoles, and other essential foods.
**Diversity and Traditional Techniques**
Mexico is the center of origin and diversity for corn, with around **64 native varieties**, each adapted to different climatic and ecological conditions. Traditional techniques like **the milpa** (a cultivation system combining corn, beans, and squash) have been vital for agricultural sustainability, enriching soil fertility and controlling pests.
**The nixtamalization process**, developed by ancient Mesoamericans, is essential for preparing corn.
This involves cooking the grain in water with lime, which enhances its nutritional value by releasing niacin (vitamin B3) and making it easier to digest.
**Conquest and Transformation**
With the arrival of the Spanish in the 16th century, corn was introduced to Europe and other parts of the world. However, during the colonial period, other crops like wheat were promoted, relegating corn as the food of indigenous peoples and the lower classes.
**Corn Today**
Corn remains a cornerstone of Mexican culture today. Tortillas, pozole, tamales, and elote are examples of how this grain continues to be a part of daily life. However, it faces challenges such as:
The rise of genetically modified crops, which threaten the diversity of native varieties.
Migration and loss of traditional knowledge, affecting sustainable agricultural practices.
Despite these challenges, **corn remains a symbol of cultural resistance and identity for Mexico.**
