Making your own corn tortillas!

Making your own corn tortillas is not that hard, and tastes far better than the store bought ones.

You will need:
Masa Harina (look in the Mexican section of your grocery store)
Salt
And one of these things (a tortilla press):
Mix together some masa and water with a little bit of salt. Use your hands. If it sticks to your hands it is too wet. Keep adding small amounts of flour until the mixture can form a ball and does not stick to your hands. Kind of like play-dough.

Open up the press and place an opened plastic bag over it. Place a small ball of dough on the side with the handle.
Close up with the ball of dough between the plastic and press down.
Try to get it flattened evenly, I sometimes rotate it and re-press to get it uniform. Open it up and peel it from the plastic. Now place it on your comal or griddle, set to a medium heat.

Let it cook and flip it when I allows itself to be flipped. If you have to force it off the cooking surface, it still needs to be cooked on that side. If, by the time you can flip it, it is burnt, your stove is too hot. Repeat for the other side until it looks done! Make a bunch and wrap in cloth to keep them warm and soft!

I topped mine with some simmered pork, salsa and slices of avocado. They tasted awesome.
