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.

Blend the ingredients for the colored pastes separately and set aside. Divide the nixtamalized corn dough into different containers and add the colored paste, knead until you achieve a nice and shiny color. Set aside. Place 30-gram balls of dough on the press and flatten to form a tortilla. On the cilantro tortilla, place a leaf of epazote, and on the zucchini flower tortilla, place a zucchini flower, cook on the griddle until it puffs up and store in a tortilla holder. Place a hoja santa leaf cut into a circle on the press and add a ball of corn dough, flatten until the dough covers the entire surface of the hoja santa circle. Cook on the griddle for 5 minutes or until well cooked, store the tortillas in the tortilla holder. Repeat the same process with the blue corn dough and the rest of the colored dough. Serve the tortillas warm and enjoy.
