Corn tortillas that puff on the comal.

- 12 cm taquería & 14 cm table corn tortillas, flour tortillas & totopos
Pressed, cooked in three turns, and it puffs.
It is the comal sequence: one side, the other, then back to the first. We follow it in Montréal, for the city’s restaurants and grocers.
Masa
Corn flour is hydrated and kneaded into a soft masa, moist enough to make steam as it cooks.
Prensa
Pressed into 12 cm and 14 cm rounds at an even thickness: too thick and the tortilla will not lift, too thin and it tears.
Comal
Three turns on a hot surface. The first side seals, then the second, and on the third turn the steam caught between them puffs the tortilla.
Packing
Cooled, lot-coded and packed the same day with their best-before date, for our Montréal routes.
How to heat it
A corn tortilla is meant to be eaten hot. This is how we reheat ours.
A dry, hot pan
No oil, medium-high heat. Wait until the surface is hot before the tortilla goes on.
About 30 seconds per side
One side, then the other. Flip it as soon as it releases easily.
Flip it one more time
The third turn is when a tortilla can puff.
Puffing depends on how hot the pan is and how fresh the tortilla is. It does not happen every time, and the tortilla is just as good without it.
