     Corn Tortillas

Category   Desserts - Breads
Sub Category   None
Servings   8 4-inch tortillas

Ingredients
2 cups corn masa mix
1 1/2 cups warm water
 

Instructions
Combine the masa mix and warm water in a medium bowl, mixing until a soft dough forms. Using your hands will produce a better outcome. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead until it's smooth. If the dough seems dry, add more water, a tablespoon at a time, as necessary.
To form the tortillas, one at a time, pinch off small handfuls (about 3 tbs) of the dough and roll each one between the palms of your hands into a ball. Cover the dough balls with a damp cloth as you form them to keep them from drying out.
Cut a qquart-sized resealable plastic bag open down both sides, to form a rectangle. Use the bag to line a tortilla press as you shape the tortillas, so they don't stick- Lay one side of the plastic over the bottom of the press, place a ball of dough in the center, and fold the other side of the plastic over the dough. Shut the top of the tortilla press firmly down on the dough to shape the tortilla. If you can't get a tortilla press, a clean countertop works. You still need plastic so the dough doesn't stick. Place the dough ball on one side of the plastic, cover with the other side and use a heavy skillet to press out the tortilla.
Heat a griddle until hot. Place a tortilla on the griddle and cook for 1 1/2 minutes. Using a spatula, flip it over and continue to cook, flipping it occassionally until both sides are covered with small brown spots. Transfer to a plate and cover with a kitchen towel to keep warm while you cook hte remaining tortillas, stacking the finished tortillas on the plate. Serve immediately.
