Real Corn Tortillas - What A Pleasant Surprise

[Aleina Dee]

Well, I finally did my trip to provincia today to see a Mexican lady that makes tortillas artesanales and it was well worth it . I came back with 2 dozen tortilla and a nicely spicy red chile salsa, great for tacos .
What surprised me so pleasantly was that they were indeed made as even in Mexico they are hard to come by now ,that is not with Maseca flour, but crushed , cooked corn grains , properly nixtamalised.They come out coarser and drier than the usual storebought tortilla but the taste is amazing.Naturally i will be a regular.
Little things in life that make you smile.

And where would one go to get some of these tortillas?

Pancho Villa is located right of Constitutiones off the Gral. Paz.( Near technolpolis and the big Gas tank.) They do have a web site if you search. Corn & flour tortillas , nacho chips , salsas. Made by a nice Mexican lady , and of the highest & most authentic quality.

Good tip CB.I will have a look at their website My lady is further out near San Justo. What I like is that she prepares "ancient recipe " tortillas not the ones made from cornflour albeit nixtamalised. That is a lot of work and not many people in Mexico doit this way still but I am actually wondering if people here would appreciate them as they have a very different texture than the smooth burrito type ones they are probably used to. .
Tom - I will send you a pm with her details. Alternatively I can pick some up when I go next and we can meet somewhere near Plaza Italia as I pass through there on my way to the boat. This goes for anybody else who wants to try them too.And now I gotta run because the boat calls.

I made it in exchange for food. *Not doing it again unless it's a sushi restaurant.*
