Understanding Tacos
The tortilla is a flatbread that is usually made from wheat flour or corn flour, or sometimes sorghum or a mixture of these ingredients.
The ingredients, way of making, and taste of wheat and corn tortillas are different, but they both originated in Mexico. The tortilla is considered the national bread of Mexico, where it is usually served with beans, meat, and vegetables. Mostly, tortillas are made at home and consumed fresh.
Forms of Tortillas
There are wide varieties of tortillas, but the best ones are always fresh, homemade, and handmade. The most common types of tortilla are listed below:
Flour Tortillas - The flour tortilla is the most basic tortilla. It contains all-purpose flour, water, fat, and a pinch of salt. The most traditional Mexican recipe calls for lard as the fat. However, shortening, vegetable oil, or butter may be substituted for lard. Gluten-free flour may also be substituted for wheat flour.
However, you make it, the flour tortilla is rustic looking and tastes great.
Corn Tortillas - Masa Harina is the Spanish term for dough flour, and it is the basis for corn tortillas. To make it, corn kernels are dried in the sun or over a flame, mixed with lime water, and then ground into a paste. This is then allowed to dry into a powder, which, when mixed with water, forms a dough or "masa." This dough is then hand-formed into the shape of a tortilla and cooked on a grill.
