Paul's big brother Alex bought him a tortilla press on Amazon and he's been cranking out corn tortillas for himself and his college housemates and cooking up lots of tasty Mexican food. On a personal note, I want to thank my 21-year-old son Paul for introducing me to homemade corn tortillas and for collaborating with me on this post. Just keep a bag of masa harina in your pantry and you'll be able to whip up a batch of fresh corn tortillas for any occasion! It's all so simple, you won't even need a recipe after you read through this post and make these once. I'll also show you how to make tortillas without a tortilla press. I'll share top tips for making sure your dough is the right consistency so your tortillas are soft and pliant and not dried out. Divide the dough into small pieces, roll into balls, flatten, and cook in a dry skillet. The rest of the process is also straight-forward. It takes all of two minutes to throw together. Tortilla dough is made by mixing masa harina with water and a little salt. It's easy to find in most grocery stores or online. The only ingredient you have to buy for homemade corn tortillas is a specially-formulated corn flour called Masa Harina. Just wait until you try these steamy fresh homemade corn tortillas! They are SO much better than the ones you buy at the store. Here's a Complete guide with everything you need to know.

Making homemade corn tortillas is way easier and more fun than you might think, and they are likely to be the best corn tortillas you've ever tasted.
