Recipe: Blue Corn Tortillas

Recipe: Blue Corn Tortillas

This is a simple way that I have found to make a quick version of a healthy corn tortilla. Yes, I looked for a good recipe online, then modified it.

Here are the ingredients listed in the original recipe (image linked to recipe page):

My Hubby and I are following the BALi Food Plan (congratulations, Dr. Roby Mitchell, for its recent patent) and want to avoid any refined flours. I’m also not interested in experimenting with the taste of nutmeg on my corn tortilla while the Mexican-Style frittata is already being prepared. Here’s my modified ingredient list:

• 3/4 cup Organic Blue Cornmeal
• 3/4 cup water, boiling
• Himalayan Sea Salt (to taste)
• Homemade Pepper Blend (to taste)
• Coconut oil (to grease the skillet and my hands)

Here’s what I did:

1. Added cornmeal to mixing bowl
2. With a wooden spoon, I mixed in the boiling water. I measured out 3/4 cup of boiling water, but only added as much water as I needed to obtain the consistency that I wanted. I switched over to a spatula as it became quick sticky.
3. Once the mixture cooled (around 3-4 minutes), I rolled out 2″ and 3″ balls patties (I was experimenting to see what size we would like best) and placed each patty on the hot, greased skillet. As the bottom browned, I flipped it over and started to gently flatten them with a spatula, and continued this process until they were flat enough for our liking.
4. I sprinkled the tortillas with the sea salt and the pepper blend while they were cooking.
5. The entire process took only a few minutes and they were great!
