Making Corn Tortillas

We have been studying and tasting Mexican food ( as in a lesson!) These are our attempts to make our oen corn tortillas. We bought Masa Harina at the Latino section in the supermarket.



Making "pequenas bolas".. Of course, as always.. Mom made us read the Spanish instructions. We kind of understood what to do.




They suggested a tortilla press, but we thought we could handle it without.







Getting a little frustrated.. Decided to step on it !













Success!! We cooked it, but it was a little hard. No wonder people BUY corn tortillas. Well, at least we know all you need is water and the flour. That is it!













We end up making pretend salad. We even "plated" it.. Mom said we could have the rest of the masa harina.
