Easy blue corn tortillas with just 2 ingredients
Thursday, November 07, 2024
Did you know I lived in Mexico City for 10 years? It’s an incredible foodie paradise with some of the best street food I’ve ever tasted. One of my favorites? Tacos with authentic blue corn tortillas.
The tortilla makes or breaks the taco experience, and no brand here quite hits the mark, so I decided to start making them myself. If I’d known how easy it was, I would have started years ago.

Ingredients
- 2 cups instant blue corn masa flour (I buy the same 2.2-lb bag for less than $3 at Mexican markets)
- 1¼ cups Water
Instructions
- Gather your tools: tortilla press, plastic wrap, kitchen towel, mixing bowl.
- Set up the tortilla press: Cover the top and bottom plates with separate plastic wraps.
- Mix ingredients: Combine masa and water in a bowl.
- Rest the dough: Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and let the dough rest at room temperature for at least 2 hours (overnight at room temperature works even better).
- Preheat a griddle or pan to medium heat.
- Shape the dough: Roll masa into golf ball-sized balls.
- Press the tortillas: Place a ball in the center of the press, close the lever, and press until the tortilla is about 1 mm thick.
- Remove the tortilla: Open the press, place your hand under the tortilla with the plastic on both sides, remove the top plastic, then flip the tortilla onto your hand and peel away the bottom plastic.
- Cook the tortilla: Place it on the hot griddle. When it changes color (around 30 seconds), flip it and cook for about 1 minute, then flip again for another minute. Enjoy!
