Homemade Corn Tortillas - Cowboy Kent Rollins

Prep Time 10 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes
Servings 8 to 10

Ingredients

  • 2 cups corn masa
  • 1 ½ cups chicken broth warmed
  • Bacon grease for frying

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn masa and chicken broth with a spoon. Begin to work the dough with your hands until it forms a soft ball that will stick together. Add more broth/masa if needed to achieve the desired consistency.
  • Pinch off about 8 to 10 golf ball-sized pieces and roll out into a thin circle.
  • Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add about 1 tablespoon of bacon grease (or other food oil) to the skillet. Add a tortilla to the skillet and fry on both sides just until it sets up- you don’t want these too crispy. Remover from the skillet and cover. Place in a warm spot until ready to serve.

Notes

We prefer Knorr chicken bouillon cubes for this recipe 
You can also roll this out a little thicker and deep fry in any fry oil at 350 degrees F. until puffy and a light brown for gorditas.
Cut the tortillas into triangles and deep fry as above for homemade tortillas chips.
