Homemade Corn Tortillas

Homemade corn and flour tortillas are THE BEST! Here is a quick tutorial on how to make the corn tortillas....my 4 yr old loves to help me make these!!

I apologize for the sideview of this picture, I was too lazy to turn it.

Start with some masa. You can find this in the Mexican/Ethnic isle. On the back of this bag, there is directions on how many to make and how much salt and water to add. It's really that easy.

Then you need a tortilla press. These are so fun. You can buy them at a mexican specialty store or online.
You roll the dough into small balls. Then you need to take a quart size ziplock bag, and cut up both sides so it opens up. You lay one side of the bag on the inside of the press, lay a ball of dough on top of it, then cover the top of the dough with the other side of the bag (so it doesn't stick to your press)

Press down and that's what makes your tortillas.

Then you can use a hot fajita skillet, a scookie skillet, or just a regular skillet and heat on med to med=high heat..Flip after about 15-30 seconds until both sides are light golden brown.

Then you throw them in a tortilla holder, I line the bottom with a paper towel and then keep one on top too. Cover and keep warm.

Have fun making these, it really is fun!
