Understanding Tacos The tortilla is a flatbread that is usually made from wheat flour or corn flour, or sometimes sorghum or a mixture of these ingredients. The ingredients, way of making, and taste of wheat and corn tortillas are different, but they both originated in Mexico. The tortilla is considered the national bread of Mexico, where it is usually served with beans, meat, and vegetables. Mostly, tortillas are made at home and consumed fresh. Forms of Tortillas There are wide varieties of tortillas, but the best ones are always fresh, homemade, and handmade. The most common types of tortilla are listed below: Flour Tortillas - The flour tortilla is the most basic tortilla. It contains allpurpose flour, water, fat, and a pinch of salt. The most traditional Mexican recipe calls for lard as the fat. However, shortening, vegetable oil, or butter may be substituted for lard. Gluten-free flour may also be substituted for wheat flour. However, you make it, the flour tortilla is rustic looking and tastes great. Corn Tortillas - Masa Harina is the Spanish term for dough flour, and it is the basis for corn tortillas. To make it, corn kernels are dried in the sun or over a flame, mixed with lime water, and then ground into a paste. This is then allowed to dry into a powder, which, when mixed with water, forms a dough or "masa." This dough is then hand-formed into the shape of a tortilla and cooked on a grill.

About the Author Tristan grew up watching his dad and grandma spend hours in the kitchen before a family gathering. They would prepare some of granny’s secret family recipes together and then serve them once everyone arrived. Tristan only chopped carrots and onions for them, occasionally stirring the pots too, but he didn’t realize how important his job was until he grew up and found himself needing a hand in the kitchen. Especially when living on your own, doing all the chopping and cooking yourself can be very tiring. While he wished his cat could lend him a paw, hairballs weren’t exactly part of his weekly night menu. For some time, Tristan lived off take-out food because it was convenient. After a long day of work, who wants to spend another hour preparing dinner and then washing the dishes? It wasn’t until a buddy of his, who also happened to live on his own, introduced him into the world of meal preps and easy, simple dinners that Tristan’s life changed. He started cooking for himself. Nothing fancy, just quick but healthy meals that didn’t make him dread coming home to make dinner. The cleanup was easy, too, since it was mostly one-pot meals. Eventually, he started to freeze his meals for the entire month, only reheating them as needed. His colleagues started to pick up on this, and they were soon asking Tristan to make their weekly lunch and dinners too! Though he never envisioned himself as a full-time cook, Tristan now runs his own meal prep company in California, preparing over 1,000 meals per week for busy people who want healthy homemade meals. Occasionally, his dad goes to help out in the kitchen, now only letting him chop carrots and onions, occasionally stirring the pots too, and Tristan can’t believe how lucky he is to
have a helping hand like his.
