Steps
- TORTILLAS
- Section off your fresh masa in 1-2 oz balls (depending on how large you want your tortilla.
- Heat a flattop if you have one or a large skillet. Use a bit of neutral oil to grease the area you would like to cook your masa.
- Then grabbing some plastic wrap, and cutting two pieces around 6x6 inches.
- If you have a tortilla press, place one ball of masa on one of the plastic wrap and place the other piece on top. Then pressing evenly down on the tortilla press.
- If you do not have a tortilla press, you can use a heavy pan or skillet to press down to flatten the masa. Make sure to have the masa sandwiched between the two pieces of plastic wrap before flattening the masa.
- Place the flattened masa on the greased area and cook it one to two minutes on each side, flipping it as it cooks on one side.
- Repeat the process for the desired amount of tortillas.
- SOPES
- Divide your masa into 1 oz balls (about golf ball sized).
- Press each ball into a thick disc about ¼–⅜ inch thick which is slightly thicker than a tortilla
- Heat a flattop if you have one or a large skillet. Use a bit of neutral oil to grease the area you would like to cook your masa.
- Cook the masa discs for about 60–90 seconds per side, just until a light golden crust forms to ensure the inside is still soft and pliable
- While the sope is still hot, pinch the edges upward using your fingers or thumb and forefinger. Work around the edge to create a raised rim (about 1/4 inch high). * If it cools too much and cracks, return it briefly to the comal to reheat.
- To finish cooking the formed sope, you can place it back on the flattop or skillet to crisp or shallow fry in neutral oil at 350˚ until crispy.
- TAMALES
- Spread 2–3 Tbsp masa on soaked corn husks (or banana leaves).
- Add your desired filling down in the center.
- Fold and wrap around the filling. Secured with a smaller piece of corn husk or twine.
- Steam upright for 60–90 minutes, depending on filling * Rest 10–15 minutes before serving as this helps them set.
