Part 3/6:
Crafting Perfect Tortillas
To create the tortillas, a Comal—a terracotta griddle—comes into play. The griddle is seasoned by wiping down its surface with a mixture of cal and water, ensuring that the tortillas do not stick during cooking.
The dough is then shaped into small discs before being placed on the hot Comal, where they puff up, announcing their readiness. Handmade tortillas are an essential component of enchiladas, adding a unique touch that store-bought versions simply cannot replicate.
