corn tortillas

September 17th, 2008

You may not think you can lose weight while on a diet plan which includes corn tortillas but it can happen. It is crucial to not eat corn tortillas or other high calorie breads every day but in moderation.

For example, I allow myself high calorie food once per week. I eat a low calorie diet 6 days a week, say 1200 to 2000 calories per day, and then one day, I eat anything – without going overboard of course.

I have been sticking to this diet for the last 4 weeks and it has helped me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise routine or taken any supplements or diet aids. I have only been careful of what I eat most days of the week and then eat whatever I like one day per week.

I also find it makes things easier if you have a little support when dieting and for that I joined the Biggest Loser club. They have numerous tools to help you monitor your progress and attain your goals.

Corn Tortillas

2 cups Masa Harina?
1 to 1 1/4 cups warm water

Mix Masa Harina? and 1 cup water in a bowl. Add remaining water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until a smooth stiff dough is formed. Scoop a lump of dough the size of an egg into the palm of one hand. Pat it round and thin to 5 inches in diameter. Or use a rolling pin, putting dough between two pieces of plastic wrap. The best option is to use a tortilla press. Have the griddle hot and cook one minute per side until evenly light brown. Keep warm in a napkin if using at once. Wrap securely to freeze as they dry easily.

Yields 12 (6-inch) corn tortillas.
