Get local corn and play around with ratios of different varieties
If you don't live in a place where corn grows then you're fucked
>Bread
Get local grains and play around with ratios of different varieties
If you don't live in a place where wheat grows then just focus on basics and get the closest grains you can (read:you're basically fucked)

You need fresh masa, sold in markets like in a bag in a big ball kind of like how you see pizza dough sold, sourced at a real latin grocery to make awesome tortillas. Just buy some locally made brand if that can't be done.

You can however buy bags of goya masarepa "instant" style flour and pat out your own arepas to pan fry. Similar to a moist pupusa, I actually prefer them. I make them with hot milk, not water. Go Colombian!

Fresh tortillas are amazing, find a nice old mexi lady to teach you. Buy a comal in your local Mercado Latino. If you want to go hardcore, make fresh hominy/masa but if you're sane, just buy the masa mix.

Masa can be used for more than just tortillas, you can make tamales, sopes, whatever
