Note: This recipe is a dish I learned from the Cocina Cosmopolita Cooking School in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. These corn tortillas were used in the Corn Tortilla Soup. These are very easy to make and you can use any kind of flour with this recipe. If the dough is still sticky after mixed, add more flour to make it more doughy.Iif you don't have a tortilla press, you can use a rolling pin to make the tortilla and a soup can to cut out the size of the tortilla. You can use torillas as an appetizer as well.
