Maza Real Blue Flour

Harina de Maíz Azul Maza Real is the perfect ingredient to create tortillas with an authentic flavor and intense blue-purple color, a symbol of Mexican tradition. For an authentic lunch or dinner, mix 2 cups of blue corn flour with 1½ cups of warm water and a pinch of salt until you get a soft dough. Form into balls, flatten them with a tortilla press and cook on a hot griddle for about a minute per side. Serve with roasted meat, fresh cheese and guacamole to enhance the rich and earthy flavor of this ancient variety of corn.

For an original appetizer, you can use blue corn flour to make small tlacoyos. Work the dough as you would for tortillas, shape them into ovals, fill them with refritos black beans, close them up and flatten them slightly. Cook the tlacoyos on a griddle until golden brown, then garnish with nopales, salsa verde and grated cheese. A unique dish that celebrates the most authentic colors and flavors of Mexico.
