\"Bean<\/p>\n

Lately I have been on a trend of making my own breads, snacks, and now with this recipe I made my own tortillas for this enchilada recipe. Eventually when the jar of store bought mayonnaise runs out I will start making my own mayo in small 2-cup batches, besides saving a lot on the grocery bill, I also know what ingredients are in my preparations. No more partially hydrogenated fat for us! The pan of baked enchiladas shown on the left are some of the extra that did not fit in our other baking dish, these looked great on their own!<\/p>\n

Currently about half-way through reading the book \u201cEat to Live\u201d by Joel Fuhrman, M.D., and he has some startling medical breakthrough findings that are quite eye opening. And with our focus of going back to simpler, whole, and unprocessed foods, it makes sense to make from scratch whole grains and unadulterated foods from just about everything we are eating these days. More on ETL and Dr. Joel in another post!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Corn Tortillas<\/strong><\/p>\n

I followed this recipe closely, and could not have written it better myself. At the time, I did not have a tortilla press and used the backside of a large saut\u00e9 pan to press the masa dough balls into rough tortillas using plastic wrap. We bought a new tortilla press this past weekend at the Smithfield Outlets from Kitchen Connection, and I hope to get some use out of it soon. The corn tortilla recipe and the steps to making them is taken verbatim from the back of the MASECA corn masa mix bag. I doubled the recipe and had a few extra tortillas left over, in addition I wanted more than need for error or mistakes.<\/p>\n
