Flavored Corn Tortillas

Yamilette González
In Mexico, we almost always accompany meals with tortillas made from nixtamalized corn, a preparation where corn is cooked with lime to enhance its nutrients. This preparation helps soften the corn, eliminating cellulose (which humans cannot digest) to create a dough. Across the country, tortillas are a staple on Mexican tables. This recipe for Colorful Tortillas is original and delicious.

  • Divide the nixtamalized corn dough into different containers and add the colored paste, knead until you achieve a nice and shiny color. Set aside.
