Even a so-so corn tortilla made at home is better than the best one at your local grocery store (unless, of course, you live in Texas and have HEB!). But this video series is for the taco-eaters who won't settle for anything less than a world-class tortilla. Using hot water instead of lukewarm drastically changes the masa's texture. Finding clues for proper hydration separates the amateurs from the pros. An innate sense of how hard to press will bring everything together into a corn tortilla so perfectly pliable and resilient that you couldn't crumple it, even if you tried.
