Our 4-5 community took a field trip to Tortilleria Pachanga. We went to learn about how tortillas are made. The corn comes from Maine and when the crop is bad it comes from other states like Illinois. When the corn gets to her store, Lynne soaks the corn, then she grinds it, and then they form it into dough balls. There is a wooden thing called a press that flattens the dough into the round tortillas. When there is a bunch, the tortillas are put in a machine that will heat them and then they are bagged. We got to make the doug balls, press them and put them into a pan to cook it. The tortillas were AMAZING with a bit of cheese and salsa. If you have the opportunity, I would say find them in a store! The tortillerias are a 10/10. Come back to the blog for more awesomeness. Thank you for being amazing and supporting our 4-5 blog.
