Authentic Mexican Recipe Corn Tortillas And The Comal

When cooking authentic Mexican food, using authentic Mexican products is a must in order to obtain that authentic flavor. The  Comal Griddle is just one of many Mexican products that I will be introducing, as requested.
A large round griddle usually made of clay, aluminum or cast iron but the more modern ones usually have a non-stick finish. They are used to warm tortillas, and roast chiles and vegetables. They can range in size from a large dinner plate to 2 feet in diameter. To purchase a comal, go here.

The comal is a Mexican style grill. A large cast iron plate or griddle used to make tortillas and blister chiles. Makes a perfect fajita and quesadilla pan. Size for cooking surface is 9 inches, total diameter is 8″.

The comal is traditionally painted black as protection against rust. You need to first hand wash with soap and water, make sure you grease the comal with vegetable oil, then heat it on the grill for 30 minutes; finally dry and remove the excess grease with a paper towel. Your comal is now ready to use!
