In Mexico, almost all meals are accompanied by tortillas made from nixtamalized corn, a preparation where the corn is cooked with lime to potentiate its nutrients. This preparation helps to soften the corn, eliminating the cellulose (which the human being can not digest) to create a dough.
Throughout the country tortillas are a common Mexican table. This recipe for Tortillas de Colores is original and delicious.
1 cup guajillo chili, soaked and seedless, for red pasta
1 cup beets, baked, for purple pasta
1 cup black bean, cooked, for coffee-colored pasta
4 cups squash blossom, for orange paste
1/2 kilos corn dough, yellow, nixtamalized
1/2 kilos corn dough, white, nixtamalized
1 cup epazote, to decorate tortilla
1 cup squash blossom, to decorate tortilla
10 Hoja santa leaves, cut in a circle to decorate tortilla
1/4 kilos corn dough, blue, for omelette
