Tortillas--Start to Finish: A Blog in Pictures

STAGE ONE: TORTILLA MAKER



(Turn your head sideways) 
1. Mix corn flour and water. Pat into tortilla shape.
This streetside vendor spends about 8 hours per day making and selling 200 to 300 tortillas per day for 1 cordova (5 cents) each.

2. Fry above a wood fire.
 Other heat can be used, but wood fires produce tortillas with the best flavor.


3. Keep edges loose. Flip them periodically.


4. Supervise children joining you in the tortilla shed.
You are making and selling tortillas so you can afford their uniforms and school supplies.

STAGE 2: TORTILLA BUYER

1.Purchase a bag of tortillas

2. Fold, insert cheese, and fry.


3. Squeeze a little sour cream atop the cheese. Slice a mango, and serve.
Delicioso!
