These homemade cheese and corn tortillas offer a comforting twist on traditional Mexican street food. The dough combines the tangy richness of cottage cheese with the sweetness of corn kernels and fresh cilantro, creating a soft, pillowy texture that holds together beautifully. Baked rather than fried, they remain light yet satisfying, making them perfect for a quick lunch or a side dish. The melted cheese inside provides a gooey center, while the Mexican seasoning adds a subtle warmth. Serve them warm with salsa, guacamole, or as a vessel for your favorite fillings. This recipe is simple enough for weeknights but impressive enough for guests.
