NIXTAMIZED MAIZE MEAL FLOURS

Hello my friends Steemit, as we all know, many times we are presented with an unexpected meeting with friends or we do not know what we can prepare for a quick meal, today I want to present an idea that can get us out of that trouble, how to prepare delicious Toasted corn flour nixtamizado.
The nixtamized corn is obtained when the corn is cooked with water and quicklime, then when grinding it, the nixtamized corn flour is obtained; but thanks to the modernization this flour is already prepared in the automercados.
We can prepare these toasts in advance and keep them for when the occasion arises.
I immediately write the ingredients: 2 cups of nixtamized cornmeal, 1 ½ cup of warm water and ½ teaspoon of salt.
Preparation: mix all the ingredients and knead for about 2 minutes.
Divide the dough into 20 more or less equal portions and form balls. They are covered with a damp cloth to keep them cool.

Each ball of dough is flattened between two plastic sheets with a tortilla press or with a roller, flattened and given a circular shape.

Heat a pan or griddle over medium high heat, remove the plastic carefully and cook each tortilla for 1 minute on each side. The tortillas are covered with a cloth to keep them soft and warm (so they can be used as tacos). To have them as toast they are placed in the toaster or in the oven on a tray until they are golden brown and toasted.

Once we have made the toast we can prepare it either in the Mexican style or to everyone's taste.
