Description

When you want to thicken your hot chocolate with corn or when you run out of masa for your champurrado, this is the solution. Use a tortilla!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 cups of water (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 dates
  • 10 grams of unrefined chocolate or 100% chocolate

Instructions

  1. Boil water, 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.
