18 homemade bits Recipes

masa flour (loose packed), salt, water, tip... you can add some chopped cilantro and a bit of lime juice to the dough for an even better flavor, in a bowl mix ingredients until the dough comes together about 2 minutes ., if the dough feels dry add a tbsp of water at a time. you want to knead it a bit... for a minute or so. it will be the consistency of sandy play dough., divide dough into 16 parts. cover with a damp towel. if you have a tortilla press, line it with 2 sheets of plastic wrap. place each ball between the plastic wrap and press until tortilla measures about 5 to 6 in in diameter. peel plastic wrap carefully. if it tears just press together again to seal. if you are careful, it just peels off., if you don tsp have a tortilla press do what i do and roll the balls between 2 sheets of plastic wrap using a rolling pin., preheat a skillet on medium -high. you may want to heat 2 skillets if you can work quickly like i did to speed the process up a bit. cook tortillas 1 a at a time for 50 seconds or so ., turn on second side and cook for an additional 50 secs or so., cover tortillas...i usually cover with plastic wrap so that the heat steams them up a bit and they do not dry out. use in your favorite dish...enchiladas tacos, etc.
