Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Maseca masa corn flour
  • 1 Beetroot to make beet water
  • Salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • 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.

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.
  • Using a spoon, scoop some of your pink dough, and with your hands roll the dough and form a ball.
  • 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.
  • Heat your comal or skillet over medium heat and cook your tortilla for 1 minute on each side. Enjoy!

Notes

Use a kitchen towel or tortilla warner to keep tortillas warm and soft.
