  5. Hello Mrs Chef 👏🙏👌💖 ❤🤍💚🦁
    My wife❤❤ has bought instant corn Masa , can we make tortillas with it ?
    Thank you for your response & your are Awesome . 👏👏👏👍🌾🌾🌾💖🍃🌻🌷🌸

  9. These are ok but not amazing. I grew up on amazing and still make my tortillas from nixtamal. Those tortillas are amazing. Maseca is like tortilla Bisquick. Amazing tortillas come from stone ground nixtamal and are cooked on a clay or cast iron comal while listening to Vicente todo pedo. Volverrrr volverrrr volveeerrrrt!!!!

  12. JUST FYI: there is no asperated "h" sound in Spanish, so it's Masa "Arina", as if there's no "h"; the "h" is silent. (Miguel de Unamuno famously said the "h" is in Spanish alphabet only to show who has been to school and who has not….).

  16. Instead of adding vegetable oil to the masa we actually oil our hands as we form each tortilla by hand – we do not compress the tortilla, that is not traditional or authentic. Instead you should be able to form your tortilla like a pancake in your hand so that it is thick and round, cook on a hot camal or griddle for a few minutes on each side until browned. This would be the traditional method for authentic corn tortillas

  24. Remember that time you were cooking Chinese food with an old lady and said you can't make that dish unless you have a wok. Well, there is…believe it or not..a difference in cooking tortillas on a comal or a cast iron skillet…use a comal..

  26. 1 It's cast iron use any flipper you've got including the metal ones it'll be fine. 2 no oil necessary a dry cast iron is fine 3 that sand texture in your cast iron has to go use a palm sander and some 150 ish grit pads to make it smooth after it's seasoned you'll thank me…

    That first tortilla was colorless turn up the heat or leave it longer.

  35. They really changed the format of these in the last year. I've been watching a lot of their 2019-2020 videos and they all seem a lot more high production value and engaging. Also this chef Lan Li? decided to stop making videos apparently and go back to her duties away from the cameras and in the kitchen. I wonder if it's a comfort thing because she looked like she wanted to be anywhere but there and also there was only one shot of her face in this whole video.

    At any rate, it's a pretty tumultuous time with cancel culture and the implosion that happened at Bon Appetit.

  39. The H is silent.. not "H:arina but "ARINA".. if you are going to "pronounce" in English simply use the word "Flour" otherwise "H"arina sounds ridiculous- especially if you are making tortillas… let me guess you advocate pronouncing Tortillas as Torti"L"as as Opposed to Torti"y"as"

  42. If you want really AMAZING tortillas, you need to start from corn and cal. That's how my abuelita did it and it can't be replicated with masa harina. But masa harina is better than store bought. But all masa harina is not created equally. Do your homework.
