Notes
- If you want to make a gluten free corn tortilla then use only maize flour and skip maida. Place the ball in between plastic sheets and press using a plate.
- If adding only maize flour then add hot water to knead the dough. That way it will be easy to press.
- Do not over cook the tortilla. Just around 40 seconds for 1st then 35 seconds for 2nd side.
- Always wrap it in a cloth after cooking them to retain softness.
- Corn tortilla can be used to make chips, nachos, tacos, enchilada, chilaquiles etc.
- Always keep the dough covered to avoid it from drying.
