Delicious homemade tortillas. So easy to make!
Don’t buy corn tortillas. These are the easiest to make and they are very cheap.
I love making corn tortillas, you only need maseca, a pinch of salt, and warm water, that’s it. Whenever I have time I prefer to make them than buy them. The flavor is different from store bought.
If you have had the curiosity to make them but just feel a little intimidated, please don’t. Nothing can go wrong with these and if they don’t turn out okay, try again. It won’t take you too much time to learn the right consistency to make the perfect tortillas.

Notes
If you don't have a tortilla press you can use any flat surface and any flat press. Some people use two heavy books. You could also use any glass container with a flat surface. Don't forget to use the plastic, or the dough will stick.
If the dough sticks to the plastic and you can't get it out it's because it is too wet. You would just have to had more maseca.
If the dough breaks easily it's because it's dry and it needs more water.
Sometimes the masa dries if you wait too long. Just sprinkle water if that happens.
