Corn Tortillas

This week I saw that Stop and Shop had Maseca brand masa harina corn tortilla flour in the bargain aisle. On impulse I bought the 4.4 pound bag and just made a batch of tortillas. They came out great! All you need is masa, salt, and water. You start with a golf-ball sized piece of dough. My first few tortillas stuck to the tortilla press, but then I finally followed the directions and used plastic wrap on the tortilla press and they came out perfectly. You can also use a rolling pin or a bottle as a rolling pin. Roll them out between two pieces of plastic wrap or wax paper. Then, when flattened, place the tortilla on a hot skillet and cook for a few minutes on each side. This is a fast and simple and healthy food.
