What you need:

  • 1 large poblano chile – fresh
  • 1 cup masa flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup cold water

How to Do it:

Place the poblano in the broiler and cook until the skin is black and bubbly.

Remove from the heat and place in a plastic bag to cool.

When the chile is cool, the skin should just rub off.  Remove the stem, seeds and veins inside and chop fine.

Place the masa in a bowl and mix in the salt and baking powder.  Using your fingers, mix in the chile, breaking the pieces apart gently with your fingers.

Slowly pour in the water, ¼ of a cup at a time, and mix until you have a soft dough.

Roll the dough into 1 to 1 ½ inch balls.

Heat a cast iron skillet on medium-high – dry – no oil or liquid

Place one ball between two sheets of wax paper and roll to about 1/8 to 1/16 of an inch thick – or use a tortilla press.

Gently remove from the wax paper and place on the hot iron skillet.  Cook for about 2 minutes and turn.  Cook the other side a minute or two and remove from the pan

    I don’t like the corn tortillas that are sold in the market, so THANKS for sharing an easy recipe so I can make them myself :)

  4. Oooh, we make tortillas all the time, but I’ve never thought about adding chiles to them – what a great idea! I’m also surprised yours turn out so well without any fat added to them – I might have to try that idea, as well. I chose your post as my feature this week! #FridayFrivolity

      Corn tortillas don’t usually use fat – flour tortillas do. Make sure you get Masa (corn flour). Enjoy – and thanks for stopping by
