Ingredients
- 2 cups masa harina (corn flour)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups warm water
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- Cooking oil (for cooking tortillas)
How to Make Corn Tortillas with Sour Cream and Green Onions
- In a large bowl, combine masa harina and salt. Gradually add warm water, mixing with your hands or a spoon until a dough forms. The dough should be soft but not sticky. If it’s too dry, add a little more water.
- Divide the dough into 10 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Cover with a damp cloth to keep them moist while you work.
- Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Lightly grease the surface with a bit of cooking oil.
- Take one dough ball and place it between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Using a tortilla press or a rolling pin, flatten the dough into a thin circle, about 1/8 inch thick.
- Carefully peel off the plastic wrap and place the tortilla on the hot skillet. Cook for about 30-45 seconds on each side, until lightly browned and cooked through. Repeat with remaining dough balls.
- Stack the cooked tortillas on a plate and cover with a towel to keep them warm.
- To serve, spread a spoonful of sour cream on each tortilla and sprinkle with chopped green onions. Enjoy immediately!
Tips for the Best Results
- Make sure your skillet is hot enough before adding the tortillas; this ensures they cook evenly and develop a nice char.
- Keep the tortillas warm in a towel or in an oven set to low heat while you cook the rest.
- If you don’t have masa harina, you can use all-purpose flour, but the flavor and texture will differ.
Easy Variations
- Add shredded cheese on top of the sour cream for a cheesy twist.
- Include diced tomatoes or avocado for extra freshness.
- Spice it up with jalapeños or your favorite hot sauce.
What to Serve With It
- A side of refried beans for protein and heartiness
- Fresh salsa or pico de gallo for a zesty kick
- Sliced avocado or guacamole for creaminess
