PANAMANIAN TORTILLAS (THICK CORN CAKES)

This is my Grandmother's recipe for tortillas--she dictated it to me in very broken English! :) Panamanian Tortillas are completely unlike Mexican Tortillas. They are corn-based and are much thicker and have much more flavor. These can take a while to get down, especially the kneading and cooking, but they're more than worth it!! See my other recipe for Cheesy Panamanian Tortillas for next-day eating. If you make the masa before-hand, it will keep in the fridge for 2 or 3 days. For the more adventurous cook, try deep-frying or grilling instead of baking.

Steps:

  • Mix the water, mix, salt, rice flour, and sugar (optional) with a spoon.
  • Knead with wet hands in bowl (wet hands keep it from sticking, so if it starts to stick just get your hands wet again).
  • It will form into a mixture called "masa".
  • Get bunches of the masa and form them into circles. Make sure the edges are pinched (no creases or cracks), and that the thickness is consistent (about 1 or 2 cm thick).
  • To bake, put some of the butter in the pan and spread evenly. Heat the butter on med high.
  • When butter is heated, place masa circles on the pan and let bake.
  • Flip them every 2 or 3 min to evenly cook without burning.
  • They will start to puff up and get golden.
  • It should take about 10 min to cook thoroughly, but make sure not to overdo them--no one likes a burned tortilla!
  • Repeat the steps until all the circles are baked through.

CHEESY PANAMANIAN TORTILLAS

The best way to eat/reheat Panamanian Tortillas! My mom swears up and down you can't reheat tortillas, but her siblings and I live for these. It makes a great breakfast or snack, especially for those on the go! You can use any kind of cheese, but beware of a few things: do not reheat tortillas more than once, and only use Panamanian Tortillas! They are not the same thing as Mexican Corn Tortillas, so make sure you know what you've got. ;) If you don't know how to make these tortillas, just check out the recipe I've posted under "Panamanian Tortillas". Also, don't use your toaster to reheat these. It's a good idea in theory, but it can ruin your toaster. lol. Have fun!
