Tortillas(Crepe Type)
Delicate crepe-style tortillas with a hint of corn flavor, perfect for breakfast or snacks, suited for breakfast lovers and those seeking a versatile, easy-to-make flatbread.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine flour, cornmeal, and salt in a mixing bowl.
- Add milk, egg, and melted butter; beat until smooth.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, let the batter rest for about 15 minutes before cooking, which helps the flour and cornmeal hydrate fully. If you're out of cornmeal, you can substitute it with an equal amount of flour or use a gluten-free alternative. Adjust the thickness of the batter by adding more milk if needed, depending on your desired consistency.
Serving Suggestions
These tortillas are perfect for wrapping around fillings like grilled chicken or sautéed vegetables. Serve them with a side of guacamole or alongside a bowl of Beef Taco Soup for a hearty meal. They also complement well with Mexican Dip(Seven Layer Dip) for a fun appetizer.

Store leftover tortillas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them in a skillet over low heat for about 30 seconds on each side or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 15-20 seconds until heated through.
