I've been excited about making corn tortillas for a week or so. They're tasty, good for you, and reportedly super-easy to make. Most of the recipes I looked up were about the same: water and masa harina or cornmeal. If you've listened to the audio post linked above (and if you haven't, why not??), you will know that I did not find my tortillas so easy to make.
It's hard to tell in these photos, but that is definitely not a doughy texture. I felt like I was playing at the beach!
After I combined the water and corn meal, and failed to come up with a mixture of the right consistency, I added a little bit more corn meal to see if the problem was just that I had added too much water. It still wouldn't stick together.
Much too crumbly to knead and form into tortillas.
I tried adding an egg, thinking that might help. It just made the mixture slimy, so I threw it in the garbage!
I was very disappointed, as I had envisioned lovely, yummy, fresh tortillas filled with chicken and monterey jack, but luckily I had a backup plan.
Oh well! If at first you don't succeed...
