How to make champurrado with a tortilla


  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 5 minutes
  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving 1x

Description

When you do not have access to fresh corn masa or corn flour – this is the solution! The tortilla thickens your hot chocolate and gives it the nixtamalized flavor from the corn. 

Tools: small pot, whisk, small blender, small sieve


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 cups of milk (300ml)
  • 1 corn tortilla cut into pieces 
  • 1/4 stick of ceylon cinnamaon (Mexican soft cinnamon) about 5 grams (1/4 tsp) in powder form
  • 2 tablespoons of brown sugar (15 grams)
  • 10 grams of unrefined chocolate or 100% chocolate

Instructions

  1. Boil milk, tortilla, brown sugar, and cinnamon for 1 minute.
  2. Pour into a strong blender, add chocolate, and blend until you cannot see the tortilla. About 30 seconds.
  3. Pour everything back into the pot and whisk until it comes to a boil.
  4. When it boils, remove from heat and pour through a sieve into a cup.

Notes

The tortilla can be cooked or dehydrated, as long as it is not fried or wheat flour based.
