I Learned The 1 Critical Step That Goes Into Making Authentic Corn Tortillas

So what's the deal with nixtamalization? It's when corn is cooked with water and lime (aka "cal") to soften the kernels and unlock nutrients. The word comes from Nahuatl, nextli (lime ashes) + tamalli (cooked corn). All it takes is three ingredients: dried corn, lime powder (food-grade calcium hydroxide), and water. 1️⃣ Start with 1 kilogram of dried corn, about 2.2 pounds. In a large pot, mix 3 liters of water with 7 grams of lime powder (food-grade calcium hydroxide) and stir until dissolved. Add the corn, bring to a gentle boil, then simmer for about 45 minutes. You'll see the kernels brighten and their skins loosen.
