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 of guajillo chili pepper soaked and seedless, for red pasta
1 Cup of beets baked, for purple pasta
1 Cup of black bean cooked, for coffee-colored pasta

1/2 kilo of corn dough white, nixtamalized
1 Cup of epazote to decorate tortilla
1 Cup of squash blossom to decorate tortilla
10 pieces of Hoja santa leaf cut in a circle to decorate tortilla
1/4 of kilo of corn dough blue, for omelette
