With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the demand for healthy food is increasing, and the corn with rich nutrition and cancer effect is becoming more and more popular with everyone.
【Directions】
1. Prepare 5 kg of pure corn flour, pour boiling water at 100 °C into rapid stirring and forming. Because corn flour does not have the toughness of flour and is not easy to form, it must be poured with boiling water at 100 ° C during the kneading process, and it must be quickly stirred by hand.
Replace low gluten flour with corn flour. The tortilla is delicate, very fluffy and delicious, with a strong corn aroma, is a simple coarse grain taste, the entrance is moist and slightly sweet, healthy and delicious. It is a special snack loved by everyone in Jinyun.
2. Chop the fresh pork into fillings, pour in the prunes and stir well. Tortillas have been circulating in jinyun countryside for a long time and are a traditional delicacy, but most of the tortillas are not stuffed, but the corn flour is mixed with water into a flour ball, pressed by hand into a round cake, and baked directly in the pot. Although such cakes retain the original taste of corn, the taste is single and tasteless.
In order to change the single taste of the tortilla, Mao Shoulan's grandmother borrowed from jinyun baked cake and used dried vegetable meat as the filling. The improved tortillas are available in two flavors: prunes and pickle patties. Through continuous improvement, the tortillas made by Mao Shoulan are not only loved by the family, but also become more and more popular with the neighbors.

Take out a small ball of mixed corn flour, knead it with both hands, knead it well, and thin it, add the meat filling, and make a small round cake. Since corn flour does not have the toughness of flour, it is easy to dry and crack when baking, the key is to mix the corn flour well, the filling should be appropriate, and the thickness of the two sides of the cake should be consistent.
4. Bring water to a boil and bake the tortillas against the wall of the pot. In order to make the taste softer, Grandma Mao Shou lan changed the traditional method of frying or fire roasting to steaming. This is the most critical step in making tortillas, and the size of the heat and the steaming time directly determine the final taste of the tortilla.
5. Attach the tortilla to the wall of the pot and steam for ten minutes to get out of the pan. Put a small amount of water at the bottom of the pot, bring it over high heat, then dip the raw tortillas with water and stick them to the edge of the pan and steam. After waiting for ten minutes, open the lid of the pot, the aroma is full of aroma, and the golden, full and seductive tortillas are baked.
Steamed tortillas are bright in color and salty and not greasy. Not only is it a home-cooked delicacy loved by locals, but it is also one of Jinyun's most popular traditional flavor snacks.
