I made tortillas for the first time the other day. I didn’t have any Masa Harina so I used Pan. They came out terrific, almost like a thin chalupa shell. Absolutely delicious. Then a couple days ago I tried to do it again, but this time I used Masa Harina. They all just fell apart. Nothing would hold up, and even the fried bits didn’t taste great. What is happen here? What’s my next step?
Mix Pan and Masa Harina together starting at 50/50 then go up or down until you find a blend that is good.
Thanks! Is this what you do?
No but I was a baker for 3 years and worked in my school cafeteria kitchen throughout high school in a chef training program.
I will someday make tortillas though, I have to find a cast iron tortilla press so I can press and cook them at the same time by heating the press.
