Home made corn Tortillas

the flour(authentic corn flour works the best);

after adding a little salt (there is a recipe on the bag) mix with water and you will end up with a putty like dough.

Roughly form them into balls (cover with a moistened cloth or tissue to keep them moist), or just make the balls as you need them.

pressing them (an authentic tortilla press is the best for this)

pressing the flour ball, If you put it a little off center closer to the hinge side it tends to work better because it is pressed in the other direction.

Handle down!

you might notice green on my thumb, that is avocado! ;)
and here is a flat Tortilla:

after some sticking, I found that it is easier to press between wax paper sheets, although the bag suggests thick plastic wrap.

use a dry skillet (cast iron) or metal plat (can get at Indian markets or from Mexican food suppliers)

after a minute or so, flip!

Stacking up! (in the oven to keep them warm)

As for toppings, make some refried beans, grill or fry some meat, or you can even use some kind of tofu :)

other suggestions for toppings on top of meat:
Guacamole, salsa, chopped iceberg lettuce, chopped Tomatoes, Cilantro, a squeeze of lime, chopped radishes, cheese, yogurt or even some fried onions or peppers!

enjoy!!!

Guacamole

Avocado is the main ingredient for Guacamole. Some lime or lemon juice will help to keep it green and salt will bring out the flavors.

I used four Avocados.

I learned that you can peel avocados, it really works well!

Slice them in Half, peel and use the following method to get the pit out:

Just whack into the pit with a knife and twist, out it comes!

Some halves in the bowl.

Mashing them with lemon and salt.

Here is your basic Guacamole. You can add chopped onions, carrot, tomatoes, and even a little cilantro if you like those flavors but it can be eaten simply as well. Use as a topping on Mexican food or a dip from corn chips!
