HOW TO MAKE THIS RECIPE
BEET WATER
Place beet in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil and then continue to cook on medium heat for 30-45 minutes or until beet is tender. Remove from heat and chop the beet into chunks. Transfer the chopped beet into blender and add 2 cups of the beet water from saucepan. Blend for 2 minutes. Strain and set aside.
MIX CORN MASA
In a bowl, combine corn masa and salt to taste. Gradually add the strained beet water to your masa. The amount of beet water it will need may vary. Using your hands, knead the dough for 3-4 minutes until smooth. The texture should be similar to Play-Doh.
DOUGH BALLS
Using a spoon, scoop some of your pink dough, and with your hands roll the dough and form a ball.
PRESS DOUGH BALLS
Grab your tortilla press maker and place your dough ball between two pieces of plastic or tortilla press liners, I used a Ziplock bag cut in half. Gently press the dough to form your round tortilla.
COOK TORTILLAS
Heat your comal or skillet over medium heat and cook your tortilla for 1 minute on each side. Enjoy!
